Not a fan of musicals BUT I loved this movie!

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2018)

I didn't bother reading any critics review before watching this one and the irony is that I'm not even a fan of musicals. It was a last resort on a plane trip and was a fan of Hugh Jackman so decided to give it a go. All I can say is Wow! I had goosebumps for most of the scenes and was captivated by the entire movie. All this while being distracted by plane engine noise and air stewardess serving food and drinks. The latter actually made it all that more enjoyable actually. The show may appear predictable at the start but it's definitely filled with surprises. Hugh Jackman's performance was spot on given his extensive experience for live performances.
It's been 2 weeks since I first watched the movie and have since watched it a second time. I guess I am a fan of musicals now as a result of this movie. Definitely worth the time and would highly recommend it.
