It's not just a movie but a fine story.

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2017)

Yes this doesn't follow the Negatives with P.T Barnum as people will be ready to tell you. However this movie needs to be focused on the story it tells and it's powerful vocals. The Tony nominated song "This Is Me" is one of my favorite musical pieces in the film where the choreography to "The Other Side" is a fun watching experience. This film highlights the high and some of the low points of Barnum's career, but like most things in Hollywood the tale should be taken with a grain of salt.
I might get flack for saying this but because of the imagination, music score, and overall unique feel to the movie it is probably my favorite film of the year.
If you, like me, are tired of Super Hero movies, Star Wars movies (I said it), or feeling overall let down by lack of imagination, and feeling like movies just want to focus on showing off technology. This movie is your saving grace. I am making plans to see it at least 1 more time while it's in theaters because it did an amazing job of catching my emotions and holding on.
I have seen musicals dating back to the 1930's and this ranks up in the top 10 of that list, and it's a big damn list. Loren Allred (singing voice of Jenny Lind), Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron and Zendaya have amazing vocals. However, personally I think Keala Settle who plays the Bearded Lady deserves as much praise as the others. I would like to hear more of this Broadway talents vocals. Like LaLa Land, The Greatest Showman feels like it takes you back in time to when Musicals dominated the market. The two in charge are going to greatly usher in a new age of amazing music composition for musicals. This is just my opinion but you will do yourself a disservice if you don't find a chance to see this movie, and it is after it releases on blu-ray i'd say still do it.
