It can be though. You already are giving the viewer the anticipation that something sad will happen.

MEB_ The Old Dark Navy's if that is considered a spoiler feel free to edit some stuff and all good.
Didn't think it was but some seem to think it is and no dramas either way.

Ive never seen Star is Born. Well aware since it came out its ending is sad.
It’s a remake of a remake of a remake. I don’t think it’s a spoiler.

Exactly.
It has been re-done 3 times now since the original 1937 film came out , in 1954 / 1976 and 2018 and they all roughly follow the same script.
Saying it is sad is hardly a spoiler and many reviews on IMDB start with " tears " or " There was not a dry eye anywhere " etc etc.
Happy to have it spoiler tagged if the Mods see fit but to me it does not seem like a spoiler without actually going into what exactly happens.

How about discussing it in the dedicated thread for the movie? So those who haven't seen it could avoid that thread. The spoilers in the 'what's the last movie you saw' are too unpredictable that you have to avoid the whole of this thread if there's a recent movie you haven't seen it yet.
Movie - A Star is Born (2018)
Seen it? Saw it yesterday and its a haunting movie that I haven't stopped thinking about since it ended. Can't think of a film of late that has brought the audience into the conversations between the characters so closely that it makes you feel like you are standing there with them. This is...

It's definitely the best version.Of a remake of a remake!

People should do this more. A quick search to see if there's a thread.

The end of the Babs one is more comical than sad

It's faithful but in the modern era I think we could have done better than that ending.

Once upon a time in hollywood 7/10
A star is born 7.5/10
The tarantino film I could see some people not liking this, it's overlong and the whole thing seems kinda pointless, it is an extremely well made film though.
A star is born was great, I was surprised by how good lady gaga is in this

Not having seen this in over 20 years , but knowing the outcome , it was interesting to see it again from that perspective
The greatest trick the director ever pulled off was giving all the clues at the start and nobody thinking they existed

I reckon there is every chance that this would make my top 10 favourite movies of all time and similar to what you've said there is a whole different enjoyment watching it after the first time. The first time you're watching a heist movie, after that you're watching a master conman at his craft.
Brilliant film.
Also, whenever someone dies, it cuts to Spacey right before they do, indicating he is their killer.

War of the Worlds: Goliath (2012), an animated movie and it's pretty bad, quality wise it's like an early 90s Saturday morning cartoon and not one of the good ones, one of the cheap rip-off ones. It's an Independence Day style sequel (humanity studies the technology from the first invasion to prepare for the next one) and it's a shame that everything wasn't done a little better because somewhere in there is an ok idea.
What is fun though is that on the one hand you've got Teddy Roosevelt riding into battle standing on top of a giant mechwarrior that's firing tank shells from it's canon head while Mr Roosevelt fires his alien gattling gun from the hip... and yet on the other hand it's actually (in parts) one of the more authentic adaptions of H.G. Wells' story.
It's a story I've always loved and so I'm interested to see what the new BBC miniseries will do with it, apparently it's based in the original time period but the makers have said they've put their own twist on it.

I loved the new version, but Judy Garland for life.
Probably should edit that out. Pretty big spoiler for those that haven't seen it.

Bad Times at the El Royale. Loved, loved, loved it- 9/10. Goes from an 8 to a 9 on its soundtrack alone, ******* loved it.
Just pissed at myself I missed it at the movies.

Was a tongue in cheek response to that poster initially complaining about the ending of A Star Is Born being potentially spoiled, yet proceeding to reveal the ending of Usual Suspects.
