Review of The Greatest Showman (2017) by Longtimegone — 07 Feb 2018
You have to be somewhat dead in your heart not to love this movie. I have never written a review, and usually kinda blasé about this kind of movie. I went because she wanted to see it and I have been back 3 times to watch it, and am going again for the 4th time.
I haven't even seen that many movies in 4 years and those were Star Wars and Jumanji. Each time I go I take someone new. A great spectacle, unbelievable camera work and I have no words for the music and choreography.
I woke up after first seeing it with the music in my head, like what??? But immediately bought it and everyone who has seen the movie or ridden with me loves the soundtrack. I know a lot of critics harp on how awful Barnum really was, but that has squat to do with this movie.
This is entertainment, not a biography. Pure fun rollicking make you move, sing, smile, laugh entertainment. And I saw one 0 review, they hated the music and the dancing. I know every one has different tastes, but I know for a fact I would not like that person.
Wow, seriously? If this can't make you enjoy yourself for a bit of time and the song and dance, I really would be scared to meet you. This is heartwarming, fun, has good messages for this day and time and is one of the top 3 movies I have ever seen.
Don't listen to naysayers, they are all dead inside if they aren't even a bit positively affected by this show.
