Good, Solid, 7/10

Rating: 7/10 (26 May 2019)

Hugh Jackman is really good at making films like these... Musicals like Les Miserables are truly great movies, and this is not so bad as well, regardless of what the critics think. Our world nowadays has way too many "professional movie critics"... just look at the Rotten Tomatoes score on this film and compare the Tomatometer and the Audience Scores... big difference. I gave this movie a 7/10 because of some minor inaccuracies in the life of P.T Barnum, but of course, its a movie so that's to be expected. I also feel, while this is a musical, yes, I know... its a little too, musical? If that makes sense... Sometimes in a rather serious moment of the film I find the quick occurrence of them just starting to sing can hinder my view of the movie slightly, but it doesn't disturb the overall film.
In conclusion: It's a good, family, friendly, film about the life of P.T Barnum with a good message. (Don't listen to the critics, they can't appreciate a decent film nowadays)
