I did not want to watch this movie but took my wife to see it, because we both saw the one with Kris Kristofferson and Barbra Streisand, growing up. The crowd was a lot older than we were(we are almost 50) it was the biggest screen they had at our theater and seats a lot but it was maybe half full on Sunday afternoon. Not one dry eye in the place, it had a great tempo and didn't drag on or have any lulls in the story. We were both very pleased and are still engaging in conversations about the movie. It's my opinion to highly recommend to everyone go out and watch a great movie and a heartfelt movie that redefines love in this time and age we live in. That is my two cents, hope you enjoy as much as we have.

A magnificent movie, captivating performances by Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. The ultimate shock was how brilliant Lady Gaga was, we knew she could sing, but didn't have any idea just how far her acting talent stretches!
After watching that I can tell you it stretches far enough to earn her some Oscar gold.
The movie is outstanding, the music is annoyingly perfect, the cast is great and everything shouts Oscar worthy movie.
Ten out of ten!

This is the time of the year when Oscar worthy movies begin to come out and "A Star is Born" has definitely began the season and set the bar.
I knew Bradley Cooper can act and he did a great job but Lady Gaga was the one to steal the show with a marvelous performance. The chemistry between the two of them was the driving factor for this beautiful film where so much happens and yet it never feels rushed or forced. The flow is just natural and filled with various emotions from sadness to humor, despair and anger.... As expected, the music is diverse and touching from both Gaga and Cooper who was a big surprise in this department.
Overall a wonderful film that leaves a good afterthought after you exit the cinema.

A movie that will take you to another world full of emotions. Lady Gaga is an amazing actress with impressive acting skills! The songs are pure art and her voice will give you chills, you'll just find yourself in tears!
I don't need to talk about the legendary Bradley Cooper!! This is literally the best movie of 2018
And one of the best Musical/Romance movies ever!
This was the best movie I have seen this year. Bradley Cooper is going to win best director best actor at the academy awards and Lady Gaga will win for best actress. Best movie ever great job guys.

I didn't expect this movie to be THAT HUGE. The movie is full of emotions and deep moments that I've found myself in tears. The songs are amazing, the act is amazing and I can say that this is movie of the year
Wow, amazing film.
Powerful, superb acting.
Gaga is so very gifted and I've never heard anyone match Whitney until now the last song could be her.
A masterpiece and should win every award going.

Both Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper were able to show of their creative talents in this with the stunning songs in the soundtrack, Bradley's directional skills & Gaga's acting! I would definitely consider this to be one of those movies which you HAVE to watch. This movie will definitely remain timeless and will move you to tears :)

Sizzling chemistry between Jackson and Ally makes for a perfect watch! The cinematography is splendid. Lady Gaga truly might be the greatest musician of this generation. Almost all of the music is written and produced by her along with talented producers and songwriters like Diane Warren, Julia Michaels, Mark Ronson, Mark Nilan, Paul Blair and the likes of it. Rupaul's drag race alumnus Shangela and Willam are a perfect add to this melodrama. Sam Elliott is phenomenal, Dave Chapelle and Andrew Dice Clay give great performances.
Bradley Cooper proves himself as a strong director, and Lady Gaga is a revelation. Its like a whole new side of her. I highly recommend this movie.

A story full of pain , hope , love , addiction and fame .
Really I hadn't seen such great performance by Bradely cooper and really a great debut as a director .
Lady gaga have impressed me with her performance . Every scene with Bradely she really made us feel like she is really in love not just acting . The way she performs , looks at him , listen to him , everything even during his downs . She was really mastering every scene and specially in her last scene.
I really enjoyed the movie , laugh and cry from my heart.
Thanks to all who worked on that movie .
Really thinks this should be nominated for the Oscar.

This movie is so good on so many levels, and I know many will champion the performances, which is justified... but this is truly great movie making.
The script is so wonderfully nuanced, I can't wait to see it again to comb through all the beautiful detail. Bradly Cooper has obviously listened well to some of the great directors he's worked with, because he now is one himself. Every scene is so well thought out.
The soundtrack is the best I've ever heard in a film, I couldn't wait to buy it after I walked out of the film.
I'm sure the cast will be garnered with award after award for this, and it's well deserved.. but it's the lasting images they've created that will truly stand up over time.
This is a truly great film.. a rare treat these days. Hopefully it inspires Hollywood to attempt to make more.

I haven't been writing movie reviews for ages but I can't be not writing a review for this one. I've seen this movie three times so far and I still haven't move on. I've been reading behind the scene stories and watching the stars' interview footage. That's how good the movie is.
I haven't seen the three earlier versions of the movie, and I might, but I should say that the movie doesn't lose its originality. The fact that Cooper is incorporating many details of his and Gaga's personal aspects in life make the movie easier to relate to and very down-to-earth; and making the story very understandable. Cooper is a great actor and Gaga is a great singer; I didn't know until the first time seeing this movie that Gaga isn't just an EDM singer. She sings beautifully while Bradley acts convincingly and they both fulfill each other in their roles; you can feel the chemistry outpouring from both of them. Some stories were simplified yet it didn't reduce the audience engagement with their struggle, and after three times watching, everything just makes better sense on why one thing happened after another.
Overall to prevent me from bursting spoilers while gushing you should see the movie yourself, download the OST album (including the dialogue clips) afterwards and sing along. All of the movie's original songs stick with me since the first time I heard it and seem to stay with me until who knows when.

Bradley Cooper is a masterful director. This is a beautiful film... I had heard how wonderful it was, but words cannot express how INCREDIBLE it is. The music, acting and direction are truly OSCAR WORTHY.
Good luck to Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, as well as the rest of this amazing cast and crew. I hope that you receive the accolades that you deserve.

As a 60 year old, I was a little wary of going to see this movie...not sure it would be as good as the 1976 film. I was wrong. This version was much better!
Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga were absolutely amazing. They should both get Oscars for their completely believable performances - both acting and musical. This is a must-see!

Great Film, would highly recommend this film. Lady Gaga was incredible both singing and acting! Music was live and was a very meaningful story line which hit him.

Sure it's a reboot, but the emotions sent through the music and the chemistry between Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper took me to another level. In my opinion definitely an Oscar worthy movie.
