Um... why so many 10 star reviews?

Rating: 5/10 (12 May 2018)

Maybe if I didn't have almost everyone I know tell me to watch this it would've been better. But rewatch it? Some people over 5 times is borderline insanity. The story is poorly written, the sync between the over produced singing and at times laughable mouthing, and the terrible cgi all took me out of the feeling multiple times. I did appreciate how much they showed how selfish the main guy was, but there was no sense of him involved with the troup of freaks for more than just money. At times they tried to imply but they really were just a side character that he also happened to exploit. Also, what circus only has dancing and singing? This was definitely forgettable and I can't believe how many people told me to watch it. There is so much better cinema out there people! Most Disney movies are better than this.
