    I’ve seen YouTube reviews that are very negative towards this movies. I’ve gone to see it 4 times. It is such a good musical. It isn’t very historically accurate, but the soundtrack and cinematography are great. Highly recommend. One of the best movies I have seen this…

But for sheer, go-for-broke nuttiness, The Greatest Showman stands alone in the landscape of this holiday season’s crop of movies, and I urge you to give it a chance.

Hugh Jackman is charming as ever, and two dance scenes are mildly inventive and well-executed, yet Jackman’s goodwill and a splash of inspired choreography are not enough to earn the greatest in the title.

I'm convinced there is a good movie trying to punch itself out of The Greatest Showman. What a shame that Gracey buried Jackman and company in a pile of marshmallow.
