Gave up on every seeing a good musical again... TIL NOW

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2018)

I didn't read the critics review. I don't read critic reviews. Critics are paid professionals, meaning professionals because they are paid. Everyday people who live in the real world and go to see movies for the love of it are the only true qualified critics.
I've been a musician for 49 years. Without a doubt this movie has the greatest music I've seen in a movie in decades. The story is compelling, and if you can believe it, it also has a good bit of historical truth given it's a Hollywood movie.
I was first of all astounded to see that the Wolverine can actually sing... REALLY WELL. But I truly wasn't prepared, even after all the trailers, for the spectacle and the real story with character depth and everything!
Perhaps the critics have become so full of their "profession" that they've forgotten how to give good ratings for a truly enjoyable movie.
Coming from a fan of great classic dramas, as well as SciFi, Fantasy, and everything fun in movies, this is my favorite movie in years!
