We are lucky it hasn't dropped to 93%

There are two rotten reviews out that haven't been added yet

I doubt it will be more acclaimed than Joanne. I hope I'm proved wrong but I'm not sure how music critics will react to the pop songs, it's out of context if you haven't watched the movie.

 

Yeah but if you listen to the dialogue version of the soundtrack the pop songs aren’t out of context

RT just added a new rotten review 

http://www.oneguysopinion.com/a-star-is-born/

11 rotten reviews in total if count them right? Then why it's only showing 10?

Nvm, I just refreshed and it's there now. 

Wtf this review smh

The problem with all this isn’t merely that it’s familiar: that’s what remakes are, by definition. The problem is that like the 1976 version, this remake doesn’t offer any pressing reason for its existence. It follows basically the same beats as the earlier films, and while Cooper is okay and Gaga doesn’t disgrace herself (though as an actress, she’s merely adequate), they don’t have a great deal of chemistry between them. The supporting cast is fine, although—with the exception of Elliott, who takers his drawling time—most of them tend to push too hard, perhaps the result of the exuberance of the picture’s first-time director.

Add to that the fact that the original songs here aren’t all that impressive, and, at least in IMAX format, come across deafeningly loud. Another drawback, at least to these eyes, is the cinematography of Matthew Libatique, which is glossy but overuses both extreme close-ups that are brutally oppressive and hand-held camerawork that’s sometimes nausea-inducing; Jay Cassidy’s editing also opts for ramrod-fast cuts. It must be admitted, though, that those elements, along with Karen Murphy’s production design and Erin Benach’s costumes, do make for authentic-feeling mayhem in the big arena scenes."

The negative reviews complaining about the fact that this is the third remake of the original movie... Sis, it hasn't been remade in 42 YEARS! That line of critique makes absolutely no sense! Most of these dissenters were either children or weren't alive when the last iteration was released! :saladga:

And I'm sure they've given positive reviews to Spiderman, which has been remade like 3 times just in the past 20 years.

" gaga doesn't disgrace herself". I can tell by that line that he's not professional. 

Sugar, spice, and everything nice.

I agree. I understand not liking something because you think it's bad. But it doesn't make sense to dislike a movie mainly because it's a remake. It's biased and it shouldn't count. It's judging someone work and not giving it a chance because you have already made up your mind. Basically it's a remake we've seen it before and that's all. :saladga:

Let alone the fact that it is NOT a remake in the very sense of the word... the songs are not the same, the plot is not exactly the same... It is a new version of the story imo.
