I loved it, one of the “leggiest” movies of all time, so I think most other

True, but there was nothing remotely like Russell Crowe as Javert

I thought you were referring to Zendaya’s legs here.

Her arms showed she definitely didn't go full method actor for the role

I really enjoyed it, one of my favorite non-war movies

Musical- is it a story interrupted by music or vice versa?

Aren’t all musicals underdeveloped?

Fiddler on the Roof, The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady

Annie, Once, even Pitch Perfect — or most Disney cartoons, etc.

Gustav

Not all — La La Land had greater development of characters, motivation, etc.

Agree that Barnum was a much more complicated person in real life, and probably

I didn’t go in to Greatest Showman expecting it to be a true representation of PT Barnums life.

JohnnyComeLately

5/27/18 10:18am

Agreed it was never going to be the total picture

Gustav

5/27/18 10:33am

Yeah that sucked for sure. But look at the life of “General Tom Thumb”

JohnnyComeLately

It was entertaining but not neessarily good if that makes sense.

Anyone who doesn’t like this movie is a troll or has terrible taste.

Could, but not necessarily

Sure

Gustav

I get that, but I’m not sure that was the point of the movie.

spugeddy24

5/27/18 1:05pm

Sort of

Gustav

I think it means different things to different people.

When you think about it, Efron can only communicate in song and dance
