Emily (1430 KP) rated Starlight Express in Apollo Victoria Theatre (London, United Kingdom) in Shows

Saw this so many years ago now but the music has stayed with me all these years. Great soundtrack, unusual setting of a train competition but based on a standard underdog story format. One of the most unique stage settings I've seen, then or since, as it wrapped around the balcony so the cast was coming around into the audience at various points. Really wish it was still running in the UK, I'd love to see it again!

The emotion
It's an earworm
I don't have much to say about the album that hasn't been said already. It is amazing. Easily the best part of the movie because each song is full of emotion and energy.
I would like to say that I noticed there was some character swapping going on between the soundtrack version and the movie versions. In "A Million Dreams" I'm pretty sure Charity is supposed to sing one of the verses, and I don't think she does on the album, and in "This is Me" Charlie is supposed to sing the second verse, but Lettie does on the album. It doesn't ruin the soundtrack for me, I just thought it was interesting.
If I had to pick a favorite song, I would have to choose Tightrope because it is very emotional and simple, and I love the subject of the song. It's totally something I would want played at my wedding if I ever got married.

One of the better DC films... and it’s awful
The only good thing I have to say about this film is it has a pretty good soundtrack. And it’s probably one of the better DC films (although I haven’t seen Wonder Woman). But that isn’t saying much.
Everything else in this film is atrocious. The acting is terrible, even coming from some fairly established actors. Jared Leto’s Performance as the Joker is so over the top and unnecessary that it’s cringeworthy and laughable. Enchantress and her brother as the villains, along with their squid head army, are possibly the lamest villains in any superhero film. The CGI is really bad for the most part, and the script is terrible along with the very weak plot. Continuity also seems to be a big issue, flitting between evening and daylight for a number of scenes and expecting us not to notice. This isn’t even one of those that is so bad it’s good, it’s just plain old bad. Avoid at all costs.

Much-loved and iconic musical animation, with the Beatles setting sail on psychedelic oceans to save the idyllic Pepperland from kill-joy blue meanies. Quite charming in its way, but if it was anyone other than the Beatles I think it would be rather less beloved, considering that the story doesn't actually have any depth and it often feels like a contractual obligation for the Fab Four - the producer suggested they were only contributing sub-standard new songs to the soundtrack (he may have had a point), while the Beatles themselves only appear in person for about a minute near the end. As Lennon said of Hey Bulldog, it's a good-sounding song that really means nothing.
That said, some brilliant individual moments and sequences, and hey, it's the Beatles, so even if the songs are impenetrable or simply nonsense, they still sound awesome. You could watch the movie with your eyes shut and still have a pretty good time. But if so, you may as well just listen to the soundtrack album.

Worth it just for the soundtrack alone!
Transformers are back!!
The last couple of Transformers movies were a bit lacklustre, but this seems to put them back on track. I loved it! I think I saw at the end of the movie that it was written by a woman, and in that case, you can tell. The main female character is independent, struggling with the loss of her father, and doesn’t feel as though she needs to be impressing anyone else. Her love interest gets a peck on the cheek and told that’s all he’s going to get ‘for now’, and he accepts that. So thanks for that. This story is driven by Bumblebees story, not a love story element (and my 12 and 14 year old boys will be forever grateful!).
We all walked out of the movie saying how Bumblebee always has been and always will be our favourite Transformer. And I went home and found the soundtrack on Spotify, because THAT is what really made the film for me!
