The Greatest Showman

Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

andrewpeterfarrow Fantastic musical, amazing score and Hugh jackman at his best, a must see

imdb-918-114775 Nice feel good movie. Ignore the critics. Predictable story, but that's not at all boring.

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.

hindirican If there were a higher than 10 rating I would gladly give it to this film. An anthem for trying to make your dreams come true and also with a theme that no matter what we look like on the outside we are all deserve love. Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Michelle Williams and Zendaya transport us to a world of music, theatricality and dreams that leap off the screen. If you need to remember why movies are a break from the dreary day to day join this cast to see The Greatest Showman! You will not be sorry.
