Boring....

Rating: 5/10 (23 March 2018)

I just felt bored. I went into this knowing it was a musical but expecting it to have a gritty dark side with actual displays of the circus at the time. You know, some level of actual dialogue to add depth and amazing circus performances to truly show what it was all about. What I got was a bunch of contemporary pop songs crammed together as if it was just one massive music video with terrible cgi. The music although okay at parts just didn't fit the time period for me at all. It threw me off. The movie was full of colour and happiness when the reality was far from it. It glorifies darkness. Felt almost like watching Pitch Perfect really. Anyways that's my opinion. Wasn't what I expected, failed to amaze me, overall boring.
