Still listening to the soundtrack!

Speaking for myself, I view going to see movies as a way to escape the typically mundane, and (sometimes) slightly depressing reality. With so much negativity in the world, it's nice to take a break and go be swept away! If a movie is entertaining, completely captivating, and ultimately make me forget that I'm sitting in a theater... I view that as a success. The Greatest Showman did just that. I saw the trailer, which advertised this movie as a fantastical, whimsy filled musical, and I feel the movie delivered on my expectations. Sure, it may not be the most complex or realistic/historical movie; but I didn't expect it to be.
All in all, it's an enjoyable and fundamentally uplifting movie; acted out by an incredible cast, full of extremely catchy musical numbers and loads of imagination!
