I can tell you this; I have a lot more respect for Lady Gaga now then ever. I knew she could sing, but I was not so familiar with her being an actress. In this film she totally proves that she has that potential. That might even be thanks to Bradley Cooper, who's not only an amazing actor in this film, but also a great director. His directorial debut was absolutely flawless. Hell, he can even sing flawlessly.
What I love about this film is that "A Star Is Born" has been done before earlier, and this film does it very best to not copy anything from them, but only mimicking instead. It's still the same story, but the elements and the nature of the previous iterations is not the same here. And that's how you remake a film. Only mimicking, not copying.
The main characters portrayed by Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga has some of the best chemistry I've ever seen. I don't see two actors pretending that they're are in love, I see two human beings who genuinely love each other. These two sweethearts just shines together, and I love seeing them being together. Their chemistry is beyond precious. Even Sam Elliott has his bright moments in this film.
I also love the songs they sing in this film. I was surprised to see Cooper being able to perform, and he's a very good singer. Gaga I knew could sing, but this time it's very refreshing to see her performing not only as an singer, but also an actress. Every emotion I see in her is just perfect. I don't care if she always had that talent or if it was thanks to Cooper's direction, she's just amazing in this film. Cooper proves once again that he can act as a champ, and considering that he's directing himself for the first time in a motion picture and handless it without a single problem makes me appreciate him as an real artist. There is no difficulty to understand why some of the viewers next to me were sobbing while Gaga was performing. It was literally nothing but pure beauty.
An absolute outstanding musical romantic drama! 8/10

So after a decent start with a pretty good but not so amazing "Man of Steel", and a disappointing follow up with the terrible "Batman v Superman", comes the third movie of DC Extended Universe. Suicide Squad!
From the guy who brought you "Fury", David Ayer delivers an action packed, entertaining movie with a lot of interesting characters, dark humour, decent CGI effects, and fast pacing. Maybe it wasn't the best DC movie I've ever seen, but it's a lot more better than "Man of Steel" and "Batman v Superman" combined.
This is the good things of the movie: The casting is excellent! The introduction of the main characters was well performed. Will Smith is doing great at being cool as usual. I was kinda worried that Jared Leto as The Joker would turn out to be silly and not so accurate. But thankfully he did a very great job. It was like a more nutty version of Heath Ledger's portrayal from "The Dark Knight". Margot Robbie was probably the best choice to play Harley Quinn. She was creepy, psychopathic, and crazy, but at the same time sweet and hilarious, and a lot more interesting than she usually was in the comics and the TV shows. Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis, and Jai Courtney were also pretty good, but maybe not so amazingly great.
This is the bad things of the movie: The main villain is just so uninteresting, forgettable, and boring. I actually thought it was gonna be The Joker. But nope. Instead we have a dark supernatural demon that wants to take over the world for no interesting purpose at all. The 3D was okay at some moments but at the most it was just unnecessary and bland. The characters should have had a lot more back stories. But I guess we got enough, we will probably see more in the sequels.
If you want to see it, go watch it. You will probably not be disappointed. I can tell you that I think this is the best movie so far in the DC Extended Universe.
