We also watched A Star is Born, and I also didn't care for this one. It was kind of boring and a little slow. I've only seen the 70s version with Barbara Streisand (which I also didn't care for) but I think I prefer that version to this one. Maybe it's just the story that I don't really care for? I don't know. I've actually been wanting to watch the Judy Garland version for awhile so maybe I'll give that one a shot and see if it's better.
Green Book is next on our list, and I'm hoping it's better than these 2.
Did you like the BlackKklansman book? I didn't even know it was one before I saw the movie so I'm wondering how it is. It wasn't perfect, but I really enjoyed the movie (way more than I thought I would).
A Star Is Born is one I also really liked, too. I do wish it would've focused more on Ally's journey and how the music industry tried to (and did) change her rather than her and Jackson's romance. Their chemistry was fantastic, but the romance part(s) felt a little rushed to me. But, like you said, I guess that's just the story (I've never seen any of the previous versions).
And Green Book was my favorite of the bunch! So funny and heart-warming. And all the backlash is nonsense.
I still want to see The Favourite, I only want to see Bohemian Rhapsody 50%, and I want to see Roma 0%. :lol:
