Please, for the love of god, don't listen to the critics and go see this amazing musical!

Honestly, I'm shocked. It's difficult to find the words to describe this movie, it's just so... incredible. Everything about it.
The only thing that has annoyed me about it are the critics. Straight after watching this I got on imdb and found all the positive reviews and an averaged score of 8.0. And then, Rotten Tomatoes, the website that likes to take the joy out of every movie possible by nitpicking every. single. thing. (Like, seriously WHO TF SAYS ANYTHING BAD ABOUT HOME ALONE??!!) But critics (not all critics, but a few) are usually so picky about movies that they can't sit down and enjoy something, but luckily, the audience clearly did (55% vs 90%. Need I say more?)
So all I'm saying to everyone is do NOT research critic reviews before watching a movie, because you could be missing out on something amazing. And I'm extremely glad I didn't get to miss out on this musical. The beautiful sets, intriguing characters and powerful message about being yourself told in a unique, non-cliché way. Not to mention that every single song is just BRILLIANT and I had to download every song straight after the movie was finished. Hugh Jackman was perfect as the main role, he's now one of my favourite actors. The singing and acting was outstanding and there wasn't a single second of dullness. PLEASE watch this movie, even if you want to avoid musicals like the plague. It's got a strong message and is both touching and fun. It is one of THE BEST films I have ever seen and my new favourite musical. In fact, as I'm writing this review I'm listening to "This Is Me". I can't say anymore, just go see it, ignore the reviews and enjoy this movie :)
