Catchy opening sentence.... cliche?

If your opening sentence would really hook the reader, then I would keep it, regardless of whether it is “cliche”. However, if it is overly dramatic, then I would steer clear from that. Like talibah said, I would just make sure you get to the point- so long as your opening doesn’t drag on and on. I recommend you have people read your opening and base it off of their opinions, along with your own.
