The Greatest Showman

The soundtrack to this movie is truly inspiring. The performances from the actors are great and it's a great 2 hours spent. That side, it does have it's issues. The visual effects aren't solid and really stand out in some scenes. Some of the writing is questionable but what I wished for this movie is that it was an original story and not based or even associated with original man. However, if you look past that and indulge in the music it's fine. If you like musicals, buy. If your looking to pass the time, rent.

P.T. Barnum has a great story, it's a shame it wasn't told in this movie. I found it very disappointing. Oh and if you're wondering about the music style, it's super basic garbage pop. Warning: Writing may cause eye rolling.

Let’s face it, Hollywood is rarely accurate when it comes to its story telling, because reality sucks and generally that’s why people watch movies, to escape reality, even if it’s only momentarily. That said, this film, although criticized for its historical inaccuracies, is 100% pure entertainment and that’s what I look for in a film!!! Filled with memorable music (that you’ll find yourself singing or humming as you go about your daily routine), and superb acting, The Greatest Showman is a wonderful story highlighting the importance of diversity, inclusion, self-confidence and manifesting your destiny, capped off with a heart warming ending. Five Stars!!!
