Recently, I saw the movie The Greatest Showman. Going into this movie, I didn't seem into it. I wasn't excited. I mean, how good could a movie about a circus be?
Well, I was right. After about forty minutes in the theater, my dad and I got up and left. It was worse than I had thought. I thought it would at least incorporate some serious elements about a circus which I could tolerate. But when it turned into a musical, I personally couldn't stay there much longer. I feel like there is a fine line between movies and musicals and they should never mix.
If there were fewer songs, I may have stayed. It was shocking to see Hugh Jackman stripped of his masculinity, especially being used to seeing him in his older X-Men movies where he was a vicious superhero with claws. However, if you like musicals, then this may be it for you. The concept was cool, that a man takes all these people with irregular features and brought them together to make money money and bring entertainment, but I couldn't quite stick it out.
