Awful

Rating: 2/10 (27 March 2018)

The Greatest Showman is one of the worst movies of 2017, it sloppy, and stupid. The movie takes no time to develop the characters, it thinks it's so grand and heartwarming when really it's just plain bad. The visuals are terrible as well. The songs are catchy, but get annoying after a while because they all say the same thing. The songs feel so fake though, they feel like they've gone through a billion machines to make the voices sound better. The dance scenes are cool, but it's nothing compared to La La Land. La La Land takes it's time with the characters, the romance and the story, it moves along perfectly, not too fast, not too slow. This movie skips over everything important just so it can make you feel good about yourself. I understand how typical movie goers can enjoy this, if you haven't seen a lot of movies and don't go to the movies as often as I do I can see why you can like it. If you're a huge movie buff like me and have seen real musicals like Singin' in the Rain, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, An American in Paris, and The Red Shoes, then you should know that this is a terrible movie. It's stupid, and it's lazy.
