Review of The Greatest Showman (2017) by Hee Sung K — 20 Feb 2018

I don't think this movie is a masterpiece like many seem to claim it to be, but it is really good. The music is really well done, and perhaps could be called a masterpiece, but this movies weakness is the storytelling.

Events happen in a very rushed manner and often times things just happen with no real build up, like the romance of Zac and Zendayas characters. I also do take issue with them making Jenny Lind into some kind of seductress.

I don't really care as much that they made PT Barnum look like a better person. I think the worse crime is to make a good person look like a bad person. But overall it is quite good. Great message, great music, decent acting, and a great movie.
