There's just so much corporate and media bias in everything now even the critics are formulaic. 

After initial negative reviews I still have high hopes for this. I agree that this movie is taking risks and that's great in this day and age. You don't move the needle without taking risks. Too many people have forgotten that. 

I think it looks funky and bizarre. I'm excited to see it, and I'm glad they're doing some oddball stuff.

Some critic said the movie focused too much on the Joker. Lol Lol Lol

"The movie producers tricked me! I thought this was all about Lady Gaga."

It doesn't really need to fit into a genre, does it?

Sometimes great art breaks genres. It may be a musical sometimes and a feature film other times. As long as it tells a story in a great way, I'm OK with it defying labels.

We saw Beetlejuice last night and as Joker trailer was played last night, the audience seemed more engaged during this trailer than the others as the talking stopped across the theater.  It will be interesting to see how the audience reacts to the finished product.

I don't get it. 

Are you disappointed that it's not a musical? Or are you confused that some think it may be a musical?

Several people involved with the project have said that it's not a musical.

Ms.Germanotta herself has said that it's not a musical.  

It seems to me that when the stars themselves are seemingly at pains to dispel the notion that it's a musical, then I can only draw one conclusion:

It's a musical.

Either way I don't care because Gaga & Phoenix are magnetic and I'd watch them in a film about ping pong balls.  I love the both of them.  Class actors.

This movie is using the current social mayhem in real life as a backdrop or a reinforcement for the movie. People can actually relate to it. 

This really does feel like it's going to be good from what I've seen so far.

Reminds me of the advertising they did for the original Batman movie. Just a Batman logo that was recognizable to fans (which was an extensive fan base) but had everyone else guessing.

I was trying to remember why it looked familiar and you nailed it. 

All the Gaga fans are going to want to know more. 

Like I said, I think the marketing is brilliant.

I'm predicting a flop. But I'll be happy if I'm wrong.

I want this movie to succeed just so other non-traditional movies can be made, but I do not think it will. I do not believe it will be a complete failure but after the first week and word of mouth it will not have the kind of legs the first one did and have a much shorter audience run prior to going to streaming.

I liked, not loved, the first. I'm on the fence about this one, as to whether I'll see it in the theater or not.
