Ignore the critics, they are nothting but humbug!

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2017)

This is an amazing musical. It is big, loud, and over-the-top as all musicals are. It could be a Broadway show put on the big screen. That is what I expected, and I was not disappointed. I love the songs, how they weave into the story, and the voices preforming them are outstanding! The imagination and spectacle is magnificent. I would have liked it to be a bit longer, and some more depth added to some of the storylines, but overall, it is an outstanding production!!
I have already seen it twice, bought the soundtrack, and may see it another time or two before it leave the theater, and will definitely be owning this one!
The critics seem to think this was supposed to be a historical documentary or something. It could maybe be classified as historical fiction. It is loosely based on PT Barnum's life, but sensationalized for screen. So, as I said, ignore the critics, they really are nothing but Humbug!!
