Over-hyped and disappointing

Rating: 2/10 (21 November 2018)

I usually am the type of person that goes in a movie with certain expectations, depending on the cast and the trailer (which i always watch before hand). However, for this one i haven't had watched the trailer but i was starting to get sick of everyone's "OMG HOW HAVE YOU NOT SEEN IT YET, IT IS INSANE". Automatically my expectations hit the roof and took my fiance (after convincing him that is is not a girly / romantic movie) to watch it. The very first scene of the movie started of on a great note, setting the tone for Bradley's character but as the story started unfolding my patience started to wear off bit by bit. First of all, why on earth did they have to dwell over unnecessary elements that never progressed in the movie! There were way too many unfinished stories that could have built a much deeper / meaningful story. Let us start with Bradley's character, his drug addiction for starters, why did they not show us the history of that? so that we can connect more with the character. His relationship with his brother and dad? showing us a pathetic small fight, says nothing! Or what on earth was this hearing problem all about! i thought he was going deaf which would have made this alot more interesting since he is a god damn musician. His relationship with music?? the fact that he only played so "amazing" when he met lady gaga is a fair play but how but the reason behind why he played with such lack of passion before?? Another big disappointment is how his relationship with Gaga was not dissected properly and super fast-forwarded in situations where it should have taken longer int he movie i.e their marriage ! or how he felt about her career decisions and how it affected him and their relationship and even though she loved him so much , it was a blurry line between whether it was love or the fact the she owed all her success to him... that should have been elaborated on ! i understand this is a book and a re-make but there was a big opportunity to make this the best story telling cinematic piece, because of the fact that not alot of people knew that this was a remake !
