I seriously believe they did a great job with the marketing for
this film. I was the advertising and marketing that peaked my interest for this
film. I liked the trailer, but felt I could take it or leave, and wasn't
pressed either way. However it surely became my 2nd movie of interest for this
weekend by its release. The cast looked remarkable, but I seriously think the
soundtrack also had great deal to do with my decision to see this film as well.
I was hoping for great things from The Greatest Showman!
Ok...so call me stupid, but I
totally missed that this film is a musical...I wasn't ready. The singing
started and I remember feeling annoyed and I didn't think I would be able to
sit through a musical (I have to be in the mood). I wanted to give this movie a
chance, so I kept myself seated, and I'm happy I did. The movie and singing
started out a bit slow, but as more and more characters were introduced the
magic started to happen. The singing and choreography gave me goosebumps and
chills. The costumes were beautiful, and performances were excellent. Musicals
are definitely are definitely where Zac Efron shines, because he was
EVERYTHING in this film. Which is an exceptional comment coming from me because
I usually find him annoying...lol. Not the case in this film, he was perfect.
Everyone was perfect. Can we talk about the singing again. Best film soundtrack
this year ~standing ovation. The music was all that for this film...ALL THAT.
"Never Enough" by Loren Allred is on repeat for me for the rest of my
life...lol.
A very well cast,
choreographed, and directed film. The musical performances were exceptional and
made the movie everything it needed to be, pure entertainment. I very much
enjoyed this film, and probably was the underrated film coming out of the
weekend and shouldn't have been. Keep in mind it's a musical, if that's not
your thing, but definitely well worth seeing...A-
