I enjoyed it a whole hell of a lot more than I thought I would. Great cast, catchy upbeat songs, fun story etc. It comes in relatively short at 105 minutes, but it packs a lot in and never makes it feel like it's dragging. I honestly don't understand all the bad reviews, but to each their own. I'll probably be buying it to be honest.
shareI thoroughly enjoyed it and did buy it. Although on the flipside, the first time I watched it I did spend about half the movie answering my wife's questions about PT Barnum's real life.
shareSame. It's quite entertaining.
shareJust finished it and I loooved it. Catchy songs too!
And I didn't knew much about the movie, except that it was a musical and that Hugh Jackman was in it. So I was surprised to see Zac Efron and Zendaya in it too haha.
it's pretty good. It definitely reminds me of Moulin Rouge but I do think Moulin Rouge is better. This movie would have been much better if it stuck a little closer to the actual story. This is more like a bastardization of the time period and Barnum's story.
Plus, I'm not so sure turning it into a musical was a good idea to be honest. It kind of distracts from what would have otherwise been an interesting story. But on it's own merits, it's still entertaining, I'd give it a 6.8 out of 10.
