Great escapist nonsense

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2019)

I had no real expectations for this movie, I am not a great fan of Jackman or of this genre but I was blown away by its sheer exuberance and quality. The songs were great and very catchy, the acting was of a high standard and the characters were as believable as they could be in such an overblown mix of spectacular hokum. Definitely recommended.
