You'll watch it again and again

Wow. Loved this movie! I bought the DVD as soon it was released. It's fun, entertaining, great songs, energetic choreography, and more. Hugh Jackman steals any scene he's in and I was pleasantly surprised by Michelle Williams. The rooftop dance towards the beginning was one of my fav dance numbers.
I found it VERY interesting that most low scoring reviews here read like angry essays by try-hard theatre students who've been given a challenge to see who can criticize each part. You'll see the ones I'm referring too, the reviews go on... and on... and on. Why spend so much time dissecting something you hated? It feels like a "pay-per-crap-review" deal some competing studio has set up.
Stick with the general public reviews. For the most part it is well loved. I know I haven't met a single person who has seen it and not enjoyed it. Even my husband said it was "pretty good for a musical" which is high praise from him indeed.
It's not a history story or a biography. It's a damn musical, meant to be enjoyed and not picked apart under a microscope.
