Pure fun...

Rating: 7/10 (14 February 2018)

A fun musical with some great songs. It also uses unique editing and cinematography quite well.
The cast were definitely the best part of the film, with Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron giving very believable performances. The supporting cast were quite good as well, particularly Keala Settle's amazing voice! The editing is quite good for the musical genre, the first scene being the best example of this. Furthermore, the sets and costumes are beautiful. Truly capturing the style of the film.
However, sometimes I feel the moral is quite heavy handed. It can be too much and the audience understand it from the beginning. Sometimes the CGI was a little distracting also, but can be forgotten with the practical effects. Definitely worth a watch for musical fans!
