Comments on: "The greatest showman (movie)" (85)

  1. Set in the 1850’s, The Greatest Showman is a thrilling and beautiful movie. It shows the life of P.T Barnum, a man with a dream in show business. He has a whimsical plan to create a show full of marginised people; bring them together and celebrate. However he is going through financial problems and is juggling a lot, as well as his family life; his first priority.
    This is a heartwarming, unique and brilliant movie full of singing and dancing. I highly recommend it for 8-15 year olds or to anyone looking for drama, performance and meaningful stories. I give it a 10/10! Overall, an amazing movie and you should definitely watch it.

    The Greatest Showman really is the greatest show and movie. I LOVED this movie. It is a very inspiring movie and feels you with so much joy when watching. The greatest show is based on a group of peolpe that may have had trouble over the year fitting in, they all come togeathor and form the GREATEST circus. This moie is filled with exceptional cast, that do no how to put on a good show.The first time I watched this movie I was lost for words. Directed by Michael Gracey, the movie is based on a true story and follows the unique, remarkable journey and dreams of P.T Barnum (played by Hugh Jackman) from a young boy to an inspirational adult. The movie is so captivating, sensational and does not fail to keep you engaged or leave you in awe. The characters in the movie, all face different, yet similar challenges in their lives and P.T Barnum brings this unlikely combination of people together, and consequently, their lives are changed forever. They really did all shoot for the stars! This movie is by far one of my favourite and I would rate it a 10 out of 10.

  3. “This is the greatest show”. Who would’ve thought something so historical and memorable could be turned in a beautifully produced movie. Following P.T. Barnum and his dreams to make his daughters happy through opening a wild spectacular circus. This movie shows the elements of Family, Love, Money and the struggles that one is faced through racism and stereotypes. The music elevated the movie as it is a force of drive which tells the stories of the characters. With the annoyingly catchy songs, the story is told of these beloveds characters. Hugh Jackman Zach Efron and Zendaya all portray their characters especially well as they are a fan favourite. With this extremely entertaining film and memorable storyline to follow, it conveys an interesting film to watch and overall an enjoyable movie to all to watch and especially those who enjoy the musical genre. 8/10.

    The greatest showman is such an amazing, feel good and inspiring movie about a group of misfits who join together to form a circus!!!!!!!!!
    Together they fight through many hardships and diversity they all face, through catchy songs that you will be singing to long after it ends! Each character is portrayed in such a relatable, heartbreaking and exciting way by all the actors, as the actors really use the characters emotions to make the audience feel every single emotion they go through. My favourite part of the movie would definately be when anne (played by zendaya) and phillip (played by zac efron) sang rewrite the stars after his parents were rude to anne because of her culture and skin, as you could really feel what they were singing about in the song and what they were going through.
    Overrall, this is such an amazing movie, and even though I have already seen it three times, I wouldn’t hesitate to watch it again!! I would rate it an amazing 10/10!

  5. This was a fantastic, feel good movie. I am not usually the biggest fan of musicals and are usually on the edge about wether I like them or not. This is definitely one of the good ones. The movie has a great cast, who are all extremely talented and play their characters very well. The storyline of the movie is great and explore important themes of loving yourself and accepting others for who they are. The Greatest Showman had everything you would want from a movie, drama, action, music and romance. I would recommend this movie to families and even people who don’t particularly like musicals may find this movie enjoyable.

  6. What a fantastic movie!! Will never get old and I could watch it 1000 times. Usually I’m not one for movies with singing and music in it, however this was too good to not like. The music in the film was very entertaining and the actors were fantastic. Hugh Jackman plays his character very well and connects with the audience very well. The movie is emotional, dramatic, fun and exciting all in one. I would recommend this movie to everyone, its perfect for all ages, great for a family movie night. It is a must see if you haven’t seen it before. I rate it a 9/10!!

    ‘The Greatest Showman’ has to be one of my favourite movies! I was instantly hooked when I started watching it. The music, actors and storyline on being yourself really makes this film incredible. I still listen and sing to the songs. My favourite song is Rewrite the Stars which is sung by Zac Effron and Zendaya. The movie is really emotional and I tear up every time at different stages. I would rate this movie a 9/10 and would recommend this to anyone who wants to watch a good family friendly movie.

  8. WOW what an incredible, amazing and unforgettable movie. Not only is the storyline great, the cast is amazing (the cast include Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Zendaya, and many more amazing actors and singers) but the songs are absolute classics that I am sure we will be listening to forever. Some of their songs include ‘Rewrite the Stars’ (sung by Zac Efron and Zendaya), ‘Never Enough’ and of course the ultimate and possibly the best song of 2018 ‘This is Me’ (sung by the whole cast).
    This movie is inspirational and absolutely incredible. It includes romance, some comedy, an amazing soundtrack, and of course an extremely inspirational message of BE YOURSELF and BE TRUE TO YOURSELF.
    I have not met anyone who did not enjoy this movie and I would highly recommend it to everyone, no matter what styles or genres of movies they usually enjoy and watch, because in my opinion this is one of those rare movies which everyone can enjoy.

    I was absolutely obsessed with this movie when it first came out, mainly due to the awesome sound track but also because of the plot. The events of this movie make it so entertaining because something is always happening and it makes the suspense really build up and keeping you wondering “what’s next?”. I love the message behind it as well which is to embrace who you are rather than let others tell you how much you’re worth because of your appearance and to embrace your differences rather than pretend like they don’t exist. I recommend this movie to anyone at any age group as it is perfect for everyone!

  10. This movie was absolute perfection! It tells the story of P.T. Barnum (Hugh Jackman) as he creates the very first circus, filled with people with certain ‘oddities’ The soundtrack of this movie was stunning and I still haven’t stopped listening to it since the movie came out. Not to mention it has the absolute stunner Zac Efron and the splendid vocals of Zendaya and Keala Settle. All in all this movie was too great to put into words, I highly recommend it and give it a 10/10

    The Greatest Showman is a great movie. It is full of music, family and courage. The movie starts off when P.T Barnum opens up a circus and invites people that are different and find it hard to fit in to perform in the shows. They put on lots of shows and become very successful with their business. I found it a little bit sad towards the end but over all it was a great movie. I loved all of the songs that they played and they were so catchy. My favourite part was when P.T Barnum opened up the circus with his family and when they performed all of their shows. I would recommend this movie to everybody! I rate this movie a 8\10.

  17. The Greatest Showman is one of the most memorable and enjoyable movies that I’ve ever watched. I think that it has good messages for people and kids around the world. I personally love musicals and I know a lot of people who aren’t really a fan of them but I definitely think everyone should watch it at least once because it isn’t your typical musical. It’s engaging, original and powerful. There are variety of themes present and multiple genres like musical, romance, family, friendship, comedy and self-love. My favourite part has to be the This Is Me scene. It is so empowering and it has an amazing message of accepting, love and being confident in yourself. I definitely would recommend this to everyone because it has a really great message, great casting and overall a really special movie. I rate it a 9/10.

  18. The Greatest Showman is one of the greatest movies created! I love, love, love this movie and I have watched it 4 times already and I watch it a 100 times more. This movie is heart breaking yet so alive, happy and makes you sing out loud. The actors and actresses are amazing and might I say Zendaya (she is my favourite) was just spectacular and Hugh Jackman was fantastic too! The music is also very catchy.

    This movie didn’t just have great actors and actresses but the storyline was great and showed us what it was like back in those days and showed us how different it is now. There were some things that annoyed me but that wouldn’t ruin the fact that The Greatest Showman is really amazing. I rate this movie an 11/10 and I can’t wait to watch it again.

    The Greatest Showman was 100% my favourite movie of 2018. Hugh Jackman who plays the role of P.T Barnum was the main character in this movie which made this a lot more enjoyable to watch. Along with Hugh Jackman, Anne ( Zendaya ) and Philip ( Zc Efron ) were a main part of this movie which really brought a great storyline to the film. This movie was about one man with a dream of starting a circus. All the acts were filled with different shapes and sizes of performers.this was a great movie and i 10/10 recomend to anyone.

  20. I remember not hearing much about this movie. Until it came out at the cinemas. I wasn’t really sure what it was going to be like. From the first 3 minutes of the movie i was already tapping my feet to the song and completely engaged. The whole cinema lit up. Instantly it became very well known. I even went and saw it again two more times!!!!! It put everyone in such a good mood and all the actors and actresses really made the movie work so well. Still to this day i listen to the sound track and have a little sing along. I think this is not only a great movie because of the story and the singing but also the fact anyone from the age of 2 and onwards would absolutely love this movie. If you haven’t seen it yet you are missing out.

    This movie absolutely blew me away! The songs, music and acting were all just fantastic! So many little details were put into this showstopping musical hit. This movie was definitely Hugh Jackman popularity boost as he sang along with Zendaya in this is the greatest show, Come alive and From now on. You can also see that Zac Efron definitely made a big appearance in this movie, especially in Rewrite the Stars and The other side. Keala Settle was by far the best singer I have ever heard when she sang This Is Me, I couldn’t help but sing-a-long with her while she did this amazing dance! The greatest Showman was by far the greatest and the best movie I have ever seen, and I was ecstatic when I got to see it twice on the big screen, and my mum even surprised me when she got it on DVD for my birthday! This is a movie that will always bring it to your feet time and time again. I would absolutely rate this movie a 10/10 with no hesitation!

    The Greatest Showman has been one of my favourite movies this year! From the songs to the great settings, everything was surprising, exciting and romantic! My favourite character was Keala Settle who played Lettie Lutz (the bearded lady) because she is so inspirational! I loved how she pushed through the hard times when she really felt like just letting go. My favourite part was when P.T Barnum (Hugh Jackman) was making a circus that people could come watch, and he held auditions for people that didn’t fit in with others to make the circus different. I would rate this movie 9.5/10 and would recommend it to people 10+.

  23. I strongly recommend watching The Greatest Showman. It’s a musical with Zac Efron, Hugh Jackman and Zendaya some of our favorite actors you may have heard of. This movie is inspired by a true story because there really is a P.T Barnum and he ran a circus but the director changed it up a bit. I really enjoyed the movie because of the moral of the story and the story line in general. The movie is about people who look different to ‘normal people’ and they are scared of coming out and showing who they truly are, so a man comes along and tells them that its ok to be different that its ok to show your true colours and to put yourself out there. The people in the movie are trying to say “This is me and this is who I’m meant to be.” I love this little quote because it relates to a lot of people. In this movie there is forbidden love because Philip Carlyle (Zac Efron) loves this girl Anne Wheeler (Zendaya) but his parents do not approve and they sing a song about how they can never be and in the end they decide that nobody can tell them what to do and they can decide. What they can do, nobody can tell them what to do with their life. This movie is absolutely fantastic and I recommend this movie for tweens and teens. It has some very powerful songs with some strong meanings to them I recommend listening to them on Spotify or iTunes. I rate this movie a 10/10 because of how moving and inspirational it’s about, its intriguing and exciting and it’s also good to sing and dance along to the songs while watching the movie. It’s a good movie to watch with your friends or with your family.

T Barnum is the main character and got fired from his job so he decided to make a show of unique people and it became a very popular show. There are so many songs that you can sing along to and they are very catchy. I can’t pick the best part of the movie because there are way to many. overall

The chemistry between Zendaya and Zac Efron is phenomenal and really helps build the entire story. Hugh Jackman never fails to impress but this performance was above and beyond outstanding. The ensemble is very talented and creates a full bold sound in the big ensemble numbers throughout the show supported by simplistic but affective choreography.

The story follows P.T Barnum and his journey from a small poor boy to a successful entertainer. This successful allows him to help others in their success but ultimately leads to his downfall. The movie has an all-star cast and an intertwined love story which will make your heart melt. The music is so beautiful and emotive and fits perfectly into the storyline. With intricate dance numbers and difficult stuns wow the audience, beautifully complimenting the music. This film was excellent and I would rate the film 8/10.

  41. The Greatest Showman is a great movie for when you just want to belt out all of the songs in it. It follows the journey of PT Barnum who wants to make the world a better place. He gathers a group of people to put on a show to those around him. Not only are these people outcasts but they manage to overcome what people think of them because they love what they are doing and the concept of standing out to make a difference. Not only is the storyline good but the songs just make it even better. They make you just want to get up and sing and dance. Overall, this is probably the best movie for any time. It has the ability to make you feel better if you are sad or even if you aren’t it just makes you feel better.

  43. I have waited Patiently for this movie to come out for a long time and want to go back to the movie theatre to see it again! Of course, preteens are begging to see this movie because there are stars like queen Zendaya and the man who made us fall in love with musicals, Zac Efron. I am going to tell you first if you hate musicals, please do not see this movie. I think most of the people hate the musicals part. Even though I am 12, I try to stay away from any kind of violence. The only thing that I was watching behind my hands was the part where someone runs into a fire and comes out looking terrible. They are later seen in the hospital and stuff, so it is kind of scary. There was a bit of mild language too. Also, I personally thought that there was a TON of drinking. It did not bother me too much, but it just happened a LOT! There was a smudge of racism though, it wasn’t awful to an extent of threats due to a different skin colour. Just a few mild words throughout the movie were spoken or sang. Overall though, the movie was amazing. I have listened to the soundtrack on repeat. I hope families choose to watch this remarkable movie because it is truly worth it! 10/10 rating! Good to watch for families (PG)

    I absolutely loved this movie! If you love singing and lots of performance this is the movie for you. It’s definitely one of the best movies released in 2017 in my opinion. When he gets fired from his job, he decides to make the dream come true to give his family he life he dreamed of. He rounds up all different unique people and uses their flaws as their best traits and they become very successful. Every plot twist and every character has a world of their own, a unique personality and so much to offer to PT Barnum’s show. The fact that they are all so different. Black and white, tall and short, bearded and bald makes them seem more interesting. My favourite character was probably P.T Barnum because he stopped at nothing to achieve his dream and kept on perserving and persisting. My least favourite part of the movie was when P.T Barnum went on tour with Jenny Lind because he was leaving his family behind and putting his business first not his family.This movie was so good that i went to see it twice! i would rate it a 10/10 and recommend it to anyone!

    ‘The Greatest Showman’ is one of my all time favourite movies! Not only does it have Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron and Zendaya (amazing actors/actress) but I also love this movie so much because it makes you so feel happy and joyful.
    When I came out of the cinema, myself, my Mum and my Sister all felt like dancing and singing. Now, we have brought the soundtrack so we can dance and sing around the house, much to be Dad’s and Brother’s hate! 🙂
    It is a light hearted, cheerful movie with a great message behind it. ‘The Greatest Showman’ includes a great message of being unique and all being individuals. That we should accept who we are for what we are and not be so fixated on other people’s thoughts and opinions or our own thoughts and opinions on ourselves.
    ‘The Greatest Showman’ is about a man named PT Barnum who sets off on a journey to build a circus celebrating people’s differences. Throughout the movie, there are ups and downs, times when you will cry and times where you will laugh and sing and dance.
    It is an AMAZING movie and I really, really, really recommend it (even though it is not playing in cinema’s anymore hopefully it comes out in a DVD). I recommend this movie to anyone wanting a happy, cheerful movie to watch, anyone who loves musicals and loves to dance and sing who is anyone 5 years old +.
    I rate this movie 10/10! It is a MUST see!

All of the songs are extremely fun and I haven’t stopped singing them (I am listening to the songs now as I am writing this). The dances are so fun and are really exciting to watch. I recommend this movie to EVERYONE as it is extremely fun and very motivational. I have seen this movie 3 times, constantly listen to all of the songs and I rate this movie 11 stars out of 10!!!!!

    This movie was absolute perfection! It tells the story of P.T. Barnum (Hugh Jackman) as he creates the very first circus, filled with people with certain ‘oddities’ The soundtrack of this movie was stunning and I still haven’t stopped listening to it since the movie came out. Not to mention it has the absolute stunner Zac Efron and the splendid vocals of Zendaya and Keala Settle. All in all this movie was too great to put into words, I highly recommend it and give it a 10/10

    ‘The Greatest Showman’ Starring Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Zendaya, , is my favourite movies ever! The movie is fantastic and truly magnificent. I have watched this movie 4 times and honestly, I would not flinch to watch the film again!

    The movie is full of marvellous, catchy songs, an exceptional cast and a reason to dream and shoot for the stars. Directed by Michael Gracey, it is a wondeful journey of dreams of P.T Barnum (played by Hugh Jackman) from a young boy to an inspirational adult. The movie is so captivating, sensational and does not fail to keep you engaged or leave you in awe. The characters in the movie, all come across, similar challenges in their lives and P.T Barnum brings this unlikely combination of people together, and consequently, their lives are changed forever.

    i love the different ranges of famous actors it just made it that much better! I love the start of the movie and how the little boy starts to sing with he’s friend, the girl.

    I defenetly recommend this movie to everyone and would rate the film a 10/10. i would say watch this movie again it is the best film i have seen for a while.

  52. BEST MOVIE EVER!! This movie is amazing, and what a great sing along too! I have now seen this movie twice, while it has been on, I just couldn’t get enough of it! Inspired by the imagination of P. T. Barnum, played by Hugh Jackman, the audience explores the meaning of differences in one and another. To accept everyones characteristics and enjoy life. It is an original musical that celebrates the birth of show business & tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation. The music and the singing in the shows is what makes the movie amazing. It is a great movie to put on and what with the girls for the night and belt out your heart. I would rate this movie 10/10, with 5 stars and would recommend for anyone to watch this great movie.

    The Greatest Showman is an amazing movie. It was obviously well thought out and cleverly designed. It was by far the best movie I saw over the summer holidays. My favourite part of the film is when P.T Barnum leaves at the end to go watch the rest of his girl’s life and watch them grow up while he could before returning to the circus with Phillip. I loved this movie so much I went and saw it for the second time and immediately downloaded the amazing soundtrack. I rate it a 5/5.

    I absolutely loved this movie! If you love singing and lots of performance this is the movie for you. Seeing it in the cinema made you feel like you were there as the actors in this were superb. It’s about a boy P.T Barnum who comes from nothing and looses his job, He goes out to buy a museum and hold auditions for people who are different or for ‘freaks’.My favourite song in the movie is “This is me”. It is just so empowering and moving, and always knows how to make me shed a tear of happiness. The beautiful song empowers people to be proud of who they are and strive to be what they want to be. i rate this movie a 10/10 and i think people 13 and over can watch it.

    The best movie of 2018 So far! It is completely, and utterly incredible. Based on the story of the life of P.t Barnum this is the most insanely captivating movie I have seen so far, but i do have to say the soundtrack really makes this movie. The best song on the soundtrack is by far “The other side” which is sung by Zac Efron who plays Phillip Carlyle and Hugh Jackman who plays the lead of P.t Barnum and my favourite scene in the movie is the opening scene, which also includes a song, “The greatest show” which is sung by the whole cast. I highly, highly recommend this movie to anyone and would rate it a 20/10.

The Greatest Showman has the best actors in it as well. Zendaya I personally think was a great fit for her role of Anne. Her singing is incredible and her duet with Zac Effron was so emotional and I could tell had a lot of thought in it. Honestly I thought Zac Effron wasn’t really going to be in many movies and he wasn’t going to be as good as High School Musical. But it was through the roof an so surprisingly awesome and he totally proved me wrong. I highly recommend this movie to everyone and rate it a definite 10/10 and it is currently my favourite movie!!!!

    The Greatest Showman is my favourite movie of all time! I loved this movie because you never knew what would happen next when I thought one thing would happen something totally different happened. My favourite parts of the movie were the songs because they are all written so well and all have there own special meaning. The songs were also really catchy. My favourite character was probably P.T Barnum because he stopped at nothing to achieve his dream and kept on perserving and persisting. My least favourite part of the movie was when P.T Barnum went on tour with Jenny Lind because he was leaving his family behind and putting his business first not his family. I would recommend this movie to everyone no matter what types of movies you like I think this movie is a great one for everyone to watch and I would rate it 10/10!!

This movie lead me on a crazy journey showing us that you don’t have to look perfect to be able to have great talents like all the characters in the movie. He had to sacrifice lots, to be able to make up such a great circus, but he worked hard and made it happen. This shows us that if you work though the hard times you will always have a good outcome. I would rate this movie a 10 out of 10 and would suggest to everyone to watch it. I can’t stop listening to all the songs and everytime I listen to them, I get goose bumps.

    WARNING SPOILER ALERT:
    Well, take out the lions, tigers and bears, then and add an elephant, an unlikely gang of misfits and a ring master and you’ve got … the circus. But a circus isn’t born overnight. and if anyone knows that it Taylor Barnum, better known as P.T. Barnum. Born into poverty and the son of a tailor, Barnum has a lot on his plate. He must grapple with the death of his father, the disdain of his father-in-law and the ongoing demands of providing for his family. What one person might consider a calamity, for instance, Barnum views as an opportunity. After he’s laid off from his job, Barnum opens a museum. Not just any old museum, mind you. This one specializes in wax figures, preserved rarities and all things … odd. Still, Barnum’s daughters think it needs something with even more ticket-selling pizzazz something alive and human. Like, say, a bearded woman. Or a brother-sister trapeze duo. Or a grown man who’s just a few feet tall. But while the showman’s family and his newfound performers benefit from his creativity, not everyone is enthralled with his idea of a “circus.” Some of Barnum’s critics deride it as a “freak show.” Will Barnum persevere in pursuing his eccentric-but-engaging vision of entertainment? Or will his rising fame and fortune blind the natural-born promoter to what truly matters in life? The Greatest Showman unpacks the answers to those questions in a musical that invites audiences to step behind the curtain of P.T. Barnum’s remarkable life.
    Honestly id rate it as a 10 out of 10 the whole movie from start to finish really grabs your attention with its sparkly dresses, phenomenal actors and amazing songs. it really took me into the world of P.T Barnum. I couldn’t ask for more.

    The Greatest Showman is a thrilling sing-along movie that everyone can enjoy no matter what age. I loved this movie as it showcased a lot of different perspectives of different people and what they are going through. My favourite character must be Lettie Lutz (played by Keala Settle) as she made such a statement through her song “This is me,” and she just gets into character in a wonderful way! My favourite part of the movie must be at the end how they worked around their problems and produce something great! How they all came together and showed everyone who they are. I don’t have a least favourite part but I did cry at some points in the movie. I’d definitely go see it again and not change a thing! I would rate it 10/10 for every aspect!

    P.T Barnum (Hugh Jackman) starts a show where anyone is welcome. He goes through many struggles along the way such as financial problems, protesters and his circus catching on fire completely destroying everything.

    But through it all Barnum manages to pull off an amazing show. I also loved this movie even more because of all the amazing songs in it. My favourite part of the movie is when P.T and his wife get back together after he kissed Jenny.

My least favourite part of the movie, however, is when Jenny Lind, a famous singer (played by Rebecca Ferguson) kisses P.T Barnum. Although, I believe that this is an important scene as it touches on the audience’s emotions.

    The Greatest Showman is hands down one of my FAVOURITE movies that I have ever seen. Every plot twist and every character has a world of their own, a unique personality and so much to offer to PT Barnum’s show. The fact that they are all so different. Black and white, tall and short, bearded and bald makes them seem more interesting, because when everyone’s the same, then why not be that pink sheep in a field of white? I love the diversity of this movie, the songs are amazing as well and the cast could not have been chosen more accuratly to the characters. Zendaya and Zac Efron perfectly portrayed the passion for one another as their characters, and all of the other peformers showed their adversity perfectly.
