Title: “Circus Wonders and Melodic Thunder: The Greatest Showman Unleashed!”
Review: Ladies and gentlemen, step right up! Prepare to be dazzled, delighted, and swept away by the mesmerizing magic of “The Greatest Showman.”The Backstory:In the grand tradition of P.T. Barnum himself, this film is an unabashed celebration of showmanship, dreams, and the extraordinary. Directed with verve and panache by Michael Gracey, it’s a kaleidoscope of color, music, and heartwarming performances. And oh, those songs! Composed by the Oscar- and Tony-winning duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (the same geniuses behind “La La Land” and “Dear Evan Hansen”), they’re like earworms that burrow into your soul and refuse to let go.The Ringmaster:Hugh Jackman dons the red impresario’s coat and top hat, striding into the center ring with the swagger of a lion tamer. His Barnum is a dreamer, a hustler, and a believer in the impossible. From the opening number, “The Greatest Show,” he beckons us with a wink and a promise: “Just surrender cuz you feel the feeling taking over!” And surrender we do, willingly, without reservation.A Million Dreams:Young Barnum (played by the talented Ellis Rubin) befriends Charity Hallett (the delightful Skylar Dunn), a well-bred girl who shares his hunger for something more. Together, they dream of creating their own destiny—a million dreams woven from starlight and sawdust. Their chemistry is as sweet as cotton candy, and you’ll find yourself rooting for them like a kid cheering for the tightrope walker.The Circus of Misfit Toys:Barnum’s circus isn’t just about acrobats and fire-eaters. It’s a haven for the misfits—the ones society deemed odd, peculiar, or downright magical. Imagine a parade of characters: the bearded lady who belts out tunes, the trapeze artist with wings made of courage, and the tattooed man who wears his stories on his skin. They’re all here, dancing under the big top, proving that life’s greatest spectacle is acceptance.The Queen of Hearts:Zendaya as Anne Wheeler, the trapeze artist, steals every scene she graces. Her chemistry with Zac Efron (Phillip Carlyle) ignites the screen like a fireworks display. Their forbidden love story—set against a backdrop of prejudice and societal norms—will make your heart somersault. And when they swing through the air, it’s as if gravity itself holds its breath.The Critics’ Tightrope:Now, I hear the naysayers whispering like carnival ghosts. “But what about historical accuracy?” they murmur. Well, my friends, this isn’t a documentary; it’s a symphony of wonder. Yes, P.T. Barnum had his flaws, but this film isn’t about the man—it’s about the magic he conjured. It’s about the thrill of the spotlight, the gasp of the audience, and the belief that even misfits can shine.The Grand Finale:As the final curtain falls, you’ll leave the theater humming, dancing, and maybe even doing cartwheels. “The Greatest Showman” isn’t just a movie; it’s a state of mind. It’s the feeling of being alive, of chasing dreams, and of knowing that sometimes, the most extraordinary things happen under the ordinary canvas of life.So, my fellow dreamers, grab your popcorn, cue the spotlight, and join the circus. Because in this magical world, we’re all ringmasters, balancing on the tightrope of hope.

Title: What a great movie!
Review: There’s nothing to find fault with this movie. Accomplished actors who can also csing and dance, except for Rebecca Ferguson who apparently doesn’t sing, but is a good actress.The music, choreography and story (although highly fictionalizes) are excellent. This is one that you want to watch more than once. But beware, the songs keep playing in your head for days. Still a lot of fun to watch!

Title: A lost art, an inspiring story, and songs that will move you
Review: The musical, once a cherished form of entertainment, the most famous collection of which belong to Rogers and Hammerstein, are usually found in the theatre. For awhile many were converted on a regular basis from the stage to cinema. I grew up loving those films, still watch them today, and when the odd tune pops into my head that I will whistle or hum along to, that tune is invariably from one of those musicals.Few productions in more modern times have been able to merge the story with music in as grand a manner as once was done. Newsies pulls it off rather well. This, however, this 'The Greatest Showman' is a masterpiece!There is not one thing that could have been better done. The music told the story as well as it has ever been done, arguably better than ever before. The story was truly inspiring. I feel like the Grinch when his heart swells every time I watch this movie. The impossible seems possible once again. Emphasis on why we do the things we do, who those things affect, and in what ways is brought to the forefront.This will stand the test of time as well as The King and I, Sound of Music, and My Fair Lady while belonging on the same shelf.I applaud all those involved in this production and highly recommend it to everyone.

Title: P.T. Barnum...the musical?
Review: I must say I was a little surprised to find out this was a musical (Think South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut, or Moulin Rouge). With it in 4K it looks great on any screen. Hugh Jackman turns in an amazing performance as P.T. Barnum, with singing included.The only reason I didn't give it 5/5 is because the run is just under 2 hours and it felt like there was some fluff and extras because Hollywood has to aid their own spin on the story. I'm sure if you removed the stuff that felt Hollywood tacked on, this would be a larger than life move about a man who was larger than life.Overall the movie is enjoyable and many of the music numbers are memorable that may lead you to look for the soundtrack to enjoy some of the songs again.

Title: Inspiring!
Review: I was apprehensive to watch The Greatest Showman, when my stepdaughter suggested it since it was a musical. Musicals have never been my first choice for movie night, but I decided to give it a shot.I loved it! From the moment I started watching, I was glued to the screen. The film is a vibrant, energetic celebration of creativity and perseverance. Hugh Jackman brings charisma and depth to the character. The musical has catchy songs that stayed in my head long after the movie.The movie adds charm and emotional impact, each performance is heartfelt, and the choreography is nothing short of dazzling. The film's visuals are stunning, with colorful, imaginative sets that transport you into the world of the circus.But beyond the entertainment value, the movie delivers a powerful message about embracing diversity and following your dreams against all odds. It's an uplifting, feel-good movie that left me inspired and eager to watch it again.In the end, I’m glad I took my stepdaughter’s suggestion. It turned out to be a delightful surprise, proving that sometimes stepping out of your comfort zone leads to the most rewarding experiences. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend giving it a chance, even if musicals aren't usually your thing.

Review: Esta pelicula la vi 2 veces en el cine de lo increible que esta para mi era obligatorio comprarla en su mejor version ya que es una de las peliculas mas hermosas que he visto en mi vida, no soy fan de los musicales pero sin duda la historia, la musica, la letra de la canciones y las super coreografias hacen que te emociones ya que esta pelicula es todo un espectaculo audiovisual.La actuacion de Hugh Jackman es sublime en esta pelicula te olvidas por completo que alguna vez la hizo de Wolverine y solo vez a un gran padre de familia buscando una mejor vida para su familia, la pelicula te emociona, te hace reir, cantar y llorar. En familia se disfruta muchisimo.De lado tecnico es impecable Fox siempre entrega la mejor calidad en 4K tan solo hay que ver Xmen Apocalipsis y Logan para darse cuenta que si hay alguien que sabe de 4K es Fox, la imagen es increiblemente limpia y el HDR asombra la iluminacion exterior y las luces del espectaculo en verdad viven.Esta version cuenta con la mejor pista de audio ya que viene en Dolby Atmos algo exclusivo del disco 4K con 11.1 Canales disponibles para disfrutar la pelicula tan cual fuera un concierto.No es exageracion pero sin duda es una pelicula memorable si les gusta la actuacion de Hugh Jackman y disfrutaron la pelicula de The Prestige de seguro les va aEncantar ya que esta ambientada en esa epoca y se ve a Hugh Jackman en lo que es su mero mole.100000% recomendada gracias Amazon por darmela una semana antes de la fecha de lanzamiento oficial.
