I knew it was bad from the trailer.

Rating: 3/10 (29 December 2017)

I watched the trailer and I knew it would be bad. I went to see it and it wasn't as bad as I thought but had flaws that critics managed to find. I was kind of excited to see what the circus was like back then but I was immediately disappointed. The writers just got lazy and didn't bother showing how the show was executed. Every show was just told across songs. They especially wasted the trapeze artists. They just spun on a ring in the air and came down when it was time to sing. They said that they didn't use wires or nets. If that happens you NEED to show more trapeze. I also felt like you could replace Rebecca Furgesson's character with a houseplant and it wouldn't change anything about the storyline. Another thing I didn't like was that some of the actors weren't actually singing. They were lip syncing and having someone replace their vocals. It would have been nice if they at least tried to have them sing instead of casting them because of their popularity.
