Critics just proved that lately they are a bunch of morons!(no spoilers)

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2018)

Where do I start to explain why I wrote the title I did? Well how about a few months ago when Star Wars came out and I saw polarizing opinions but went to the theater anyway to see it. I was shocked by how bad that movie was on every level but mainly on story and logic. That was probably one of my worst movie experiences ever. Then let's take some facts here into consideration before talking about this movie. Almost all the star wars fans with some brain left in their head, hated the movie, yet it got 4 Oscar nominations including original score which was one of the most bland scores I've ever heard from John Williams(he even reused some of the episode IV music, that's how bad it was), and yet that movie got 92% on RT and 85% on Metacritic. Why? Sometimes I understand why some critics or persons might find a movie bad/good even though I have the complete opposite opinion, but here in the case of SW there is nothing to understand on why some people might like that movie. It's just complete garbage. And after this introduction you might know how I feel about this movie. The Greatest Showman tells the story of PT Barnum who has a dream of becoming a great showman and in doing so overcome his low social status.
While not being the most artistic and stylish movie ever this movie succeeded in what it was trying to transmit: That chasing power or wealth might make you transform yourself into something you were never meant to be. This movie has so many powerful quotes at times and so many ideas that I was inspired and moved almost to tears during the whole runtime. The first aspect I'll touch is the performance of Hugh Jackman which is one of the most dedicating performance I've seen from him. That was hinted from the trailer when I saw something very different in his character and that was confirmed throughout the whole movie. Next the set pieces and costumes were stunning and gave the movie a huge sense of realism and made me feel like I was there in that period of time. Last but not least the soundtrack along with the songs was sublime, one of the best I've ever heard. The songs from this movie were hands down the best from any musical period. There were at least 3 songs worthy of Oscar nods(but since it didn't had the critics response as La La Land did it didn't happen) and those were: The Greatest Show, A Million Dreams and This Is Me(which should have won the Oscar although I loved Remember Me from Coco). Now the problem critics had with this is that it wasn't a classical musical, it didn't follow the same pattern La La Land or other previous musicals did. For me it seemed like a Pixar movie both in length and in pacing. That was probably one of the only gripes I had with this movie is that it's pacing was somewhat rushed at times because of it's short runtime. That meant some slightly undeveloped conflicts that honestly, looking back needed development only for retarded people like the critics(I mean if you saw X-men or know about the african-american discrimination you'll totally understand some of the movie conflict). But aside from that this movie was flawless in my opinion and it did what I expected to do ever since I've watched the song This is Me on youtube(you know the behind the scenes one) that brought tears to my eyes even though I didn't see the film at that time.
Overall sublime songs and soundtrack, fantastic and extremely dedicated performance from Hugh Jackman and great message along with inspiring ideas make this movie one of 2017's best movies in my opinion. 10/10
