Review of The Greatest Showman (2017) by Axet — 05 Jan 2018

I don't like musicals except those that are diegetic (great movies like "Purple Rain", "Saturday Night Fever", "American Graffiti" are naturalistic music driven dramas not fantastical as is the traditional sense of the genre) but saw this as a consolation on the day, so if you like musicals this might be your cup of tea.

However, even so it seems weak and personally much prefer it had been a straight biopic drama on the compelling subject with musical numbers embedded in the circus acts.
