boring hollow movie

Rating: 1/10 (27 February 2017)

So first of all, if there weren't this much marketing about the movie, if the movie hadn't won 6 Oscars and if people around me didn't think so high of it, I would have been fair and given La La Land a 3 or a 4. But when raising expectations this much, it is just impossible to give a better grade than 1!
The movie is one of the most boring I've seen in the past years. the first scene is sooo embarrassing I was so close to leave the theatre. I should have. The story line is flat. It can be summarized in two lines.
La la land is cheesy and unlyrical. If you want to produce a musical, teach your actors how to dance. I mean an average dancer could probably do better.
The cinematography is supposed to be wow, but to my eye they completely overuse the use of colours. For me a good mise en place in a good movie is the one that your eyes like without you realizing which elements make it this way until you stare for a moment. La La land was too obvious to me. The use of widescreen is hollow. The whole thing is gimmickry.
While adding an old Hollywood look to a modern day movie is original, it just isn't my thing. What's the purpose? to connect to the old musicals? he wishes...
Also a small detail, why the hell is Mia's dressing so ugly?????
