All the songs sounded the same, it had potential but just kind of brushed it away. I couldn't even tell what time period it was and had to look it up after the movie. They had so much to work with and really I could have done better with making that movie and I don't even know how to direct and all that. Overall it's just overrated and unrealistic at times.
Am I the only one who didn't like The Greatest Showman?
STUPID
Thank the lord! I'm not alone! My mom loves it, so she made me watch it. There's too much singing (yes I know it's a musical) and I just think there's too much "I can do anything" for me.
I personally feel like the ending and most of the movie was rushed
I thought it was OK. Some of the songs I thought were pretty good, but the autotune annoyed me. I also didn't like how they completely twisted history to make a horrible guy look like some kind of social activist… Hugh Jackman did everything right though, he's an amazing actor.

I haven't watched it yet but I wasn't really hyped about it when it came out. My cousins thought it was great.
Overall it looks pretty mediocre.
what is wrong with you guys its amazing and yeah it doesn't follow the real story of p.t barnum but its meant for families. like what family wants to watch a violent abusive movie?? I think it's amazing and even though i dont really like zac efron and zendaya, this movie really made me respect them and hugh jackman is just amaaaaazing. I judged it before i saw it and now after watching it i love it and you should really watch it

I’ve seen about half, and I agree. All the songs sound the same except for the bar one and the beginning one, Anne and Philip’s relationship was too rushed, time period was confusing, it wasn’t like Fantastic Beasts where I could just look at it and go, Hey, that’s the twenties! I like Anne and Lettie though.

Also, the fact that it was so “You can do anything no matter what!!!!” at all times. In the time period that this movie takes place, people wouldn’t have accepted those people
exactly the point of it. people learned to except and love them
i wish people would stop critiquing every little bit of everything and just enjoy stuff.
i dont care what time period it is in the movie
i dont care that people during that time wouldn' t except them
i just watched the movie, loved it, and moved on with my life

And I watched the movie, hated it, and moved on with my life. People are allowed to have different opinions. If you liked the Greatest Showman, I suggest you move to a different thread and stop trying to invalidate our opinions.
I haven't seen it but it looks fun. I'm a sucker for musicals so I don't care too much about plot if the songs are fun. Plus Hugh Jackman and Zendaya!
Well I agree that it's fine to change the storyline so that you're not making a movie that praises a horrible person, but for me, I just couldn't get on board. :( I mean, in the end, I wasn't sure what they were trying to say. That PT Barnum wasn't as bad as people thought? That he actually cared about equality (even after owning slaves) or cared about the "freaks" that he actually caged and whipped for fun? That he was so cool for starting show business or whatever? I wanted to like him, but I just couldn't. The truth of history and the message of the movie are such conflicting ideas that it was hard for me not to be distracted. It was really entertaining though, not gonna say I didn't enjoy myself during the movie. But after…
There's too much positivity in this thread. Weren't we supposed to be bashing the movie instead of praising it?
But I respect your opinions nonetheless

Okay, my dudes, chill. Hate is a very strong word. We are not supposed to be bashing it we are just giving our different opinions about how we felt about it and how it could have been improved.
(Sorry if that was preachy…)

THAT IS HILARIOUS!!!
Also the only reason I would watch this is for Zendaya.
Same for my sis.
Overall, das just messed up bruh!
(No offense to the people who like it.)
What do you not like about it

Well, the fact that they made a hero out of someone who DEFINITELY was not. Also he used peoples disabilities to make money, left his wife and to daughters, they put in an affair that never happened, and Zack and Zendaya's characters were in there just for a rushed romance.
I'm sorry, but I just don't like it. I hope you can see why…

@Masterkey Finally! Someone talks about the autotune!

Although autotune is not bad, it can be WAY overused. I actually listen to a lot of music with autotune, but this doesn't quite fit the feel if you know what I mean…
I don't mind autotune as a style, but I don't like it when every single person's voice sounds fake. I'd rather hear a less-on-pitch but real and raw voice than a plastic, autotune voice.
