OVER RATED Gobbledegoop

Rating: 4/10 (18 January 2019)

I went to see this with high expectations. why not, after reading rave reviews and having stellar cast. Well, after 5 minutes I could see this not going well. The drag club, the unnecessary over performed pizazz which lead to the introduction and the following obsession was so fake that it beggars belief how the screen writer got it past the producers, if they even read the script! And it got progressively worse for there. Gaga's acting is mono tone in expression and tone which becomes quite annoying and the viewer soon gets the feeling that without Bradley Cooper, the entire production would have been a massive flop.
The story kinda goes nowhere, and from about half way through the film begins to take on a Lady Gaga promotion with an over the top hard to believe revelation that she is some overnight pop star sensation born with superhero power of every of superstardom, dance, song writing and lyrical genius. Quite frankly, over the top gobbledegook. It could have to so much better if the director/screen writer toned the instant stardom fame thing down 10 notches and made more of an edgy drama out of the relationship and personal struggles.
None of the rest made any sense. like the desert scene where Coopers character goes to his fathers farm and finds 1000 wind turbines as far as the eye can see and confronts his brother .... ITS A WIND FARM... I mean seriously. That amount of turbines would have taken 20 yrs to install and you never knew it was a wind farm???? I mean shocker.
