MEM 3,114 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I’ve read 90% of the reviews that are out and I have found a similar criticism across the board: that Gaga never becomes truly Gaga in the film, like she doesn’t reach her full potential with the hair and makeup and crazy outfits, that it was a missed opportunity. This is so annoying because if she DID do that, they would all say she’s “just playing herself”, “it’s a biopic” and Bradley would probably get crap for “playing it safe” by casting her. Like come on, this is Ally. Ally is not Gaga. Okay I know I haven’t seen it but isn’t the whole point of acting to disappear into a character and tell THEIR story? I hate when they come for ASIB saying they wish Ally had been more like Lady Gaga, it’s a weak critique tbh. They’re just looking for ways to bring the film down and ruin the hype (I honestly feel like even though it might have flaws, it’s hard to say bad things so they scrap for the tiniest thing to add that tinge of negativity, lol) I think I’m going to stop reading reviews for now because the last one I read had minor spoilers and I hate everything - has anyone read the “First Showing” review please DM me cause I am mad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanWinchester 41,390 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Exciting news! I hope the RT score stays above 90% and MC score stays above 85. Flyin' like a 1000 Doves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway. And if we think about it, giving ASIB the same score as Roma, a film with 96 on MC, means that he actually thinks both movies are of the same caliber Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S0436 10,215 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 As the overall consensus is positive so far I expect soon some reviews will be extreme like 0/5 1/5. Some movie critics like to go against the grain to make a name for themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGMonster95 13,704 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I think as long as ASIB gets many 4/5 and a couple of 5/5 reviews, the overall score will be hard to go down that much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

djBuffoon 12,122 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Who would have thought that the reviews would be so unanimously positive, that a negative review would come as a surprise? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
