It was a lot worse than I expected

Rating: 4/10 (16 January 2018)

If you are someone who easily recognizes auto-tune and gets annoyed at it, this movie is not for you. All of the songs were heavily auto-tuned from start to end., the music was extremely uninspired and bland, all of them were like songs you hear on the car radio and they're ok but there isn't anything special about them. I liked that they made it a musical, but the music was honestly so bad that I hoped it would end as soon as possible. Also the music is completely off era. I mean the movie takes place in the 1850s and all of the music were 2017 styled same boring rhythmed music. When Jenny Lind was first going to sing I was very excited, then very disappointed. She is an opera singer??? Who sings opera? The music was like a casual pop song and it was really so bad. I really can't understand how people don't notice the auto-tunes, it is so obvious. The only thing I liked about the movie was the casting. Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams and Rebecca Ferguson were all amazing (those three are my favorites). The acting was good though the movie was very predictable. The plot and the dialogues were actually pretty good, if only the music was better. Overall, I don't recommend it. I usually don't trust critics, but this time thy are right.
