An average story that has it's moments

Rating: 6/10 (10 March 2019)

Prior to watching this movie I didn't watch any of the previous versions - to be honest I didn't even realize it was yet another remake. I went in a bit sceptical about Lady Gaga as a lead role, and I wouldn't call myself a great Bradley Cooper fan either.
The opening fifteen minutes are cringy. There is a lot of weird dialogue and scenes that don't make much sense. Then the movie gains some momentum, but can't keep it up for more than twenty minutes, because everytime something starts developing the movie hits you with some boring stuff. Lady Gaga turns out to be OK for the role, Bradley Cooper tries a bit too hard and the movie itself goes for all the easy tricks to make your eyes wet, but falls a bit short of doing so.
