InTheCloset 17,583 Posted Tuesday at 09:05 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:05 AM im avoiding spoilers but people are hating it. saying it has no plot. the musical aspect seems irrelevant. scenes of Gaga from trailers cut. and i was so excited for it. i booked three tickets in a row just for myself so i wont have people sitting next to me. What is going on? I had high expectations. Todd when i get my hands on you Where's the spunk, Adam? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual, all the fan meltdowns were for nothing. The GP was living for it in my theatre - they were def hooked and entertained. Gaga showed her singing chops when sense, and Joaquin sounds great - it’s giving another Bradley Cooper singing moment. The film is beautifully shot, the plot is super engaging… and hearing the songs in Harlequin - in their context (they have different instrumentals) was sooo special. Close to You’s moment… oh my GODDD. Cinema. It’s the perfect sequel Joker could have had. Better in every way than the original. but many people from the gp are saying that there is no real plot. no character arc for lee. and that a sequel wasnt needed calling it a cash grab Where's the spunk, Adam?

Tinnitus15 49,892 Posted Tuesday at 10:21 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:21 AM (edited) Seeing it in two days. But damn… this movie is cursed form what I’m reading. We all thought it was gonna be a hit.Then the prediction came out, then the reviews and suddenly they just hit us in the face with that misleading promo of Gaga as a lead role. Clearly they used her name for the clout. But still excited to see what Toad Syphilis did. Edited Tuesday at 10:21 AM by Tinnitus15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOT 2,466 Posted Tuesday at 10:45 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:45 AM Great thread. I haven't seen the movie yet, but there are some interesting contributions on here. It sounds like there is a good story to be told about the making of this movie. I hope it all comes out in the wash. Maybe there's even a movie in it. Anyway, I will go to see JFAD as soon as I can, and I will do so with as open a mind as possible even though I already know most of the plot (and that's my own fault). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stupid Oreo 14,183 Posted Tuesday at 10:46 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:46 AM I’m so sorry but the movie was bad. The acting and visuals were on point but nothing made sense and there wasn’t much going on. Even took a smoking break during the premiere lmao 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilboyblue 3,300 Posted Tuesday at 10:47 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:47 AM The way the most negative reactions and meltdowns I've read about the film is in this thread. Maybe it's also my algorithm, but my timeline is filled with mid to positive, NOT horrible reviews. How about we stop melting down at every turn? Not everything she does will be received with hyperbolic acclaim. And actually, I have not heard one single negative comment about Gaga's acting here, so... 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModernEcstasy 7,845 Posted Tuesday at 10:49 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:49 AM (edited) I feel as though Bradley has been the only person so far who knows what to do with Gagas talents. Honestly I’m worried. The negativity in this thread has made me lose all hope, so the GP are bound to to give up on the movie too. I’m pissed because if Gaga was gonna be in a DC movie, Harley is absolutely the role I’d want her to play. But they’ve butchered what could’ve been an amazing role for her.
