8/10. 7/10 for movie plot....BUT 10/10 for the amazing performance, songs, music, and enjoyability of this film.

Rating: 8/10 (19 January 2018)

The plot gets 7/10 from me as I found it very predictable.
BUT having said that, I truly enjoyed this film, and the positive energy which came from the music and the performances.
I cannot believe that this is the same Hugh Jackman that was slicing people as Wolverine, but here was all singing and all dancing. A true stars' performance.
A lot of people complain that the songs were too positive and motivating....now what's wrong with that? In these times life is becoming dark and negative, so it was uplifting to feel like I wanted to dance my way out of the cinema when the film finished, and had a more positive outlook on life. That's the magic of this film.
The soundtrack has been playing on my mind since I watched the film and I ended up buying it and have been listening to it consistently.
There does seem to be a major disconnect with critics, where Star Wars The Last Jedi was loved and praised (yet it made a mockery of the Star Wars universe and I felt Luke's was just not Luke), and this film has been panned by them.
I hope if you watch the movie, you enjoy as much as I did. And I personally cannot wait to watch it again.
