Review of The Greatest Showman (2017) by Dharma — 27 Jan 2018

I am going against the grain here, and it seems that a lot of the audiences love this flick a lot. Guess what? They are right. The Greatest Showman is a stunning achievement that is being marginalized for its crowd pleasing tendencies.

I am going to compare this to La La Land in which the former has reinvogarated the musicals, yet have casts, brilliant that they were who couldn't sing or dance. The Greatest Showman, Jackman included, is the complete opposite.

These are casts that are more suited to a musical, with singing and dancing skills on the level on any Broadway shows around. Headlining this is obviously Jackman himself in a tour de force performance, singing and dancing away.

This along with stellar casting: Michelle Williams, Zach Efron, Zendaya and the rest made this an unforgettable experience. The soundtrack is absolutely great and are literally the heart and soul of this film.

It will leave you toe tapping your way out of the theater.
