Where is the talent?

Rating: 5/10 (25 December 2016)

The fact that this movie is rated 8.9 out of 10 and Chicago is 7.2 and Moulin Rouge is 7.6 is literally beyond me. Although I like Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling as actors, they really should not be casted for musicals. Neither of them can dance or sing properly no matter how much they tried, and I bet they did. I wonder if anyone here giving this movie a 8 or a 9 has watched Chicago or Moulin Rouge. Both had incredible Cinematography, plots AND had lead actors who could sing/dance the hell out of their movies. And now here come Ryan and Emma who are mediocre at best at this musical. I'm kind of disappointing at their casting as lead roles because I think that with different lead actors (two who can actually sing and dance) this movie would've been breathtaking. On another note, it was a charming film with beautiful cinematography and a pleasant vibe. I did not mind the blurs, as someone mentioned, or thought there were plot holes. I would recommend it to other but only to realise that Emma and Ryan should've not been cast.
