Hugh Jackman... duh
Good music and a good story though it is not really Barnum...
Really enjoyed The Greatest Showman. Hugh Jackman is always entertaining and throws himself fully into every role. He has a great voice and he and Zac Efron were terrific on the screen together.
While the music was very good, I don't know that it jumps to the tops of my Spotify playlist but I will be listening through it another few times and I will probably like it more.
It is not the historic Barnum. That is a good thing. He was a horrible individual. That would be a different musical.

The Phantom Of The Opera
This film is one of the classics.
Phantom Of The Opera is a musical, the songs were composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, a very knows British composer that has written a lot of other songs to other very famous musicals (ex: Cats and Evita).
The film takes place is Opera Popullaire and it starts when Christine (the main character), a ballerina, replaces Carlotta, the opera main star and becomes famous due to her signing classes with her mysterious teacher, The Phantom. In the meanwhile she founds her childhood old love and they fall in love again leaving The Phantom heart broken. It’s a romance triangle.
Its dramatic. Emotional. And very worth the watch.

Absurd plot
Stands the test of time
I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey.
It's hard to describe a movie like Rocky Horror. A musical, sci-fi, horror, comedy?!? Well yes, but that doesn't do it justice. It is an experience..... no, I mean it. Ask the thousands of fans who still flock to midnight showings, dressed up as their favorite characters, ready to do the time warp again. So why to we enjoy this adventure of Brad Majors and his fiancee Janet Weis? Because! We don't need to explain ourselves to you. So, come up to the lab, and see what's on the slab. I see you shiver with antici............ pation

The cast are fab
The dances
Love it
Where do I start.
There are no surprises to why this blew up and was so popular.
The cast are fantastic and play each role beautifully. You feel each character and feel every emotion they portray.
The music and chorography were so great, creating such a scene perfect for stage and screen. They complimented each other perfectly.
I can watch this movie over and over and I know for sure my mood will be lifted after.
I do believe the music and showmanship of the film make the film. By this I mean that if it was just a standard movie without the musical element it would have flopped.

Out of this world (pun intended)
Turn on and switch off... Of reality.
Taron Egerton delivers a stellar performance as Redge Dwight evolves into his colourful, camp, outrageous alterego Elton John.
A beautifully made film charting the ups and downs of singer, from childhood to megastar. The script delivers raw honesty and for someone that wasn't completely au fait with Elton's turbulent life, I felt honoured to share in his madness.
A collective mix of musical numbers with backing tracks allow the viewer to bath in the huge catologue of hits.
Stick it on and enjoy solid acting, writing and directing. Taron is brave, vulnerable and as the Rocket an, shows he is set for the stars.
