Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

sandyrobinson I went in thinking that this was just another biography that I might doze off in before it ended I was totally wrong The cast were very convincing The music was fast paced to match the rags to riches tail of a man who always wanted to win The music was soberly written I didnt need to be told that the director had a vision that he knew would bring out the best in each of the cast Altogether a show I could wat h many times and find something knew each time I saw it
tanstorck "The Greatest Showman" had excellent music, characters and a great story overall!Unlike most musicals that focus mostly on romances, this musical dealt with various issues. The film dealt with peoples appearances and how just a look can change the way someone sees you. The 'show' allowed many performers to realize that they are just as important as anyone else.The themes in this film were so important. The great songs and interesting story line made this and excellent musical and an excellent movie!
orkoapprentice-03992 Jesus zombie Christ! Someone needs to fire whoever mixed this sound. Everything is either imperceptibly quiet or obnoxiously loud. Movie starts with "WHOAAAAAAAAAA!" at THX levels of deafening decibel levels. Cue Jackman, mumble-singing something. Cue once more the deafening "WHOAAAAAA!" chorus to the absolute DELIGHT of my bleeding eardrums. 30 minutes into the movie, and the same pattern continues. Speaking of sound, who fucked up the ADR with Tom Thumb (Sam Humphrey)? It was so obvious and pathetic I had to see who actually voiced the character (James Babson). Secondly, the music itself is not only awful and lazy pop excrement, but it simply does not fit the time period. Hearing modern instruments is just as jarring as if people in this film were using a GPS in their horse-drawn carriages. It sounds like they stole the music from "The Wiz" and added autotune. Say, that's a million dollar idea, let's change ALL the music in Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera to overly poppy autotuned garba...I mean art. Lastly, there is already a superior version of this story, with significantly better music. It's called "Barnum." If you can find a video of it online, Michael Crawford (who made "Phantom of the Opera" a household name) knocks it out of the park with his performance, to say nothing of the fantastic ensemble cast. That's just my misguided opinion; like what you want to like. This just wasn't my cup of tea nor my shot of whiskey.
alexiapontik A good movie., finally. This movie is truly magnificent. This is how you make a musical. It is about being different, accepting yourself, love, family and circus. Also Zac Efron and Zendaya are amazing... Just watch
