For those that have seen it: why do you think the reviews are SO polarized? I’m starting to panic that the glowing reviews early on were just critics afraid of Gaga stans and that this is actually going to be panned. I mean one minute it’s amazing, the next it’s stuff like this from people who were looking forward to the movie: 

 

AHHHH I just need to see our RT score already. I’ve never seen critics (and early audiences) give such polar opposite feedback with 0 in between 

Because the movie started strong and falls apart slowly. The third act is baaad. It is not on Gaga or any of the actors, but Ridley. This is his classic issues for awhile now. The cast really helped the movie, their acting prowess showed and it helped by a great deal, otherwise it will be unwatchable. It is a middling movie, not terrible but not great either.

Aside from Leto, Gaga is main focus here. The fact she can banter with heavyweights like Al Pacino and Leto, and done it successfully is impressive.

Dude, I appreciate Jared Leto so much more 

[Aga Gydal 3,069]

Really liked it. Impressions are right in that it’s a bit uneven and drags on in places. She chewed up this role though, holy ****.

I will say for those little monsters who are imagining that Gaga ls the center of the universe she is definitely a costar to the other cast members in this movie whereas A Star is Born was definitely more of a Gaga centric movie.

But literally everyone on Twitter is saying that Gaga has the biggest role and the  parts without her are the only boring ones.

I think part of what they meant is that the cast is so large and so talented that Gaga definitely shared the spotlight vs where in ASIB she stole the whole show.

Yeah, people were shocked that Gaga can pull off high degree of acting which matches the likes of Leto.

The AMC I went to forgot to download the film to the projector so we started a full hour later. And that's before a nearly three hour movie.

I've seen this guy's videos before. I don't think he counts for any of the major critic sites like RT or something like that.

[YourWhiskyMouth 3,998]

Gaga, Jeremy Irons and Al Pacino were phenomenal. Jared Leto’s performance will probably be polarizing, but I loved it.
