Ironic on how today's critics are the same as Barnum's!

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2017)

There were only 12 people in the cinema with me, but it should have been full. Hopefully word of mouth will bring people out to see it. I will tell everyone I know to go. Ignore the critics. This film is wonderful. The story, the acting, the colour and costumes, the singing and dancing and the music but mostly I finally cared about the people and it had a happy ending. Sure it is shallow but it is entertainment. The film sweeps you along so you don't get bored for a minute. I can see why people want to immediately go again because there is so much to see, you feel like you are missing so much. I think the movie's crowning achievement is the songs it has added to the world.
