The hell with those critics: See this movie and live a little!

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2018)

I normally don't write movie reviews, but the huge discrepancy between how I felt about this movie and the "know-it-all"(!) critics' ratings made me write my first! Ironically as portrayed in the movie, the critics did not approve of Barnum's circus either. The fact that its plot is based on a true story, the fact that almost all 9 songs of the movie are memorable, the fact that a modern, in some ways almost Michael Jackson-influenced choreography (may sound a bit odd for a musical, but looks fantastic) is preferred, makes this a movie worth seeing. I cannot stop listening to the songs over and over. Having seen Hugh Jackman live on stage before, I can only hope to see this as a Broadway musical, with him and some small "Cirque du Soleil like" touches! Until then, the hell with those critics: See this movie and live a little!
