Absolutely flawless execution of a very predictable, crazy mainstream story.

Rating: 7/10 (8 February 2018)

This might as well have been a disney movie. The songs felt way more "cheap disney knockoff" than broadway musical to me. They felt more like pop music. Catchy as hell though. The production value is absolutely perfect. The cast is amazing. Hugh Jackman carried the entire movie on his freaking back which is saying something when the rest of the cast is also great.
But honestly, substance wise... It's really really predictable. And i guess that 's fine, it just makes this movie more of a "family movie" where you can miss half the movie and still enjoy it rather than a story driven film.
Overall, was expecting more from the story, was expecting more from the songs, was blown away by the execution of what it actually was.
