Decent trailer but I can't say I have a huge desire to see it. Biggest draw for me is that Jason Isbell wrote the song Cooper is singing in the trailer. Would be awesome if somehow Isbell brought home an Oscar.

Well, s--t.

I guess now I'm going to a movie with Lady Gaga in it.

Can't argue that she has a good voice.

My excitement for this movie goes up every time I see the trailer (which is probably tied with Fallout as my most watched trailer. These two played in front of just about every movie)

First song is officially released, which will probably be their Oscar nomination for Best Song.

Jason Isbell is the best song writer in America.

He puts emotions and stories I never thought were possible into his songs.

Hope he does get the Oscar for that song. It's amazing,

As much as I would like Isbell to get his due, guarandamntee the studio pushes Shallow for the Oscar, bc it was written by Gaga, Mark Ronson and others. unfortunately, its more "hollywood". doubt he even gets a nom, which is sad, bc his is a much better song.

And not nearly as outrageously goofy as she has been in the past.

Just got out of theater.

It won't win Best Picture but it's a solid albeit flawed movie.

The vocals from Lady Gaga are insane.

Cooper models his character after Eddie Vedder's. I have to see it.

Loved it.
Several Oscar nods coming for this one. Original song, best actor, etc

Full soundtrack is available on streaming services!

I will say it's essentially the full movie. So if you don't want to spoil the movie, watch the movie first, then enjoy the soundtrack.

Lady Gaga will be major props for her acting debut along with her obvious vocal talents but I think Bradley Copper was extremely good

One of my three favorite movies this year and the soundtrack might have to be a purchase soon

Just saw it this afternoon:

Acting was outstanding and as good as Cooper is, GaGa just about stole every scene she was in. Very very
watchable and likeable.

First half was much better than the last half.

Gaga's singing was superb; Cooper was very good

Sam Elliott was his usual bad-self. Loved him.

I admit, we were slightly disappointed in the overall movie. It's a trite story line.

Don't want to give anything specific away as the movie is brand new and I don't want to spoil anything. I'll make my plot observations later.

I would rank it behind Black Panther and Fallout this year of the ones I have seen.

And Andrew dice Clay as the father was not recognizable to me. I remembered him being in the credits before and saw the ending credits and was like who do he play.

This is one of the few movies I've seen a trailer for in the last 10 years I want to see.

It was OK but overall I was disappointed.

My wife and I thought it was incredible. Acting and music were great (really great) and it hits you in the feelings quite a few times. Bought the soundtrack walking out of the theater and we're likely to see it again before too long.

I told my wife I wanted to see the movie where Bradley Cooper plays Eddie Vedder and she said she was out.

FWIW, I didn't get an Eddie Vedder vibe at all from Cooper.

His look and mannerisms were inspired by Eddie.

As soon as I saw the father, I recognized him as Andrew Dice Clay. He was superb! I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he gets a supporting actor nomination.

Lady Gaga steals the show, as expected. But Bradley Cooper was amazing.

At this point, I honestly don't see how this doesn't win Best Picture. I just got out and that was flat out amazing. Somehow even better than the buzz, and this has been one of the most buzzed about movies in years. Absolutely electric. Cooper is going to win everything. That dude is in rarified air right now. I seriously may have to see it again in theaters, and I'm definitely downloading the soundtrack ASAP.

Just... wow. I'm stunned at how good that was.

Also, random, but Chris Pratt was in my showing. Someone alert Sex Panther. He was there with his girlfriend, Katherine Schwarzenegger (yes, Arnold's daughter), and another guy. I've been around my fair share of movie stars and they're almost always a little shorter and just a little different in person. Pratt, though, is exactly as you'd expect. Dude just had a smile on his face, seemed like the nicest, most relaxed guy ever, and flat out looked like a damn action/movie star. Not in the lobby nor in the theater did I see a single person bother him, but more impressive, he didn't have that semi-paranoid, overly discrete vibe that so many stars have in public. He carried himself like a normal, happy-go-lucky guy, one who just so happens to be one of the biggest stars on the planet. Weird to say, I know, but he just had a noticeably different vibe about him that so many others I've seen didn't. Just seemed super cool all around.

Saw it tonight and thought it was fantastic. Lady Gaga was amazing in pretty much every scene. The movie did a nice job of including elements true to Gaga, such as the bar where she first meets Cooper. Complaints are minor. I felt like Cooper is a little too young to be playing a character who was that "old" and grizzled but maybe that's just the fault of Jeff Bridges and Crazy Heart. While I do love me some Chappelle, his character came out of nowhere, then completely disappeared and seemed to only fulfill the "magical negro" trope for Cooper's character. That was a little disappointing. Overall, though, this was definitely one of the better movies I've seen this year.

Here's a good little article about all the personal and honest touches that Cooper included in the movie
