Holy Cow! Not Since Lion King....

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2018)

Not since Lion King has every song, every note in a score been PERFECT. "The Shape of Water" - YAWN. Too GREEN. I hate when a film is all one color, like the audiences are too stupid to get it. The CRITICS really BLEW IT this time. They probably think Jackson Pollock is a good painter. WHO CARES if the historical details were inaccurate. If I want the history of the circus I won't be looking for it in a movie theater. Movie theaters are for ENTERTAINMENT! And now and then enlightenment. THE GREATEST SHOWMAN is a TOTAL THRILL RIDE. The pace never flags, loaded with show stoppers and the BREATHTAKING "Never Enough". We all know Jenny Lind was an opera Diva but what writer in his right mind would interject an aria at the top of this roller coaster. I tell you, it is perfectly scored, perfectly cast, perfectly written. Should have been Best Picture last year. Heck, it is the BEST PICTURE I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS! I blast the soundtrack daily.
