Day 28 - The Greatest Showman?

12/22/2017

Comments

 
It's Friday!
Can you tell I'm excited?????!!!??!!!??!!?!?
What gave it away? 😁

I spent about two hours in the movie theater this evening watching - you guessed it! - The Greatest Showman.
One thing you should know about me before reading my review  is that I am a little obsessive. 
So, yes, I was obsessively waiting for this movie.
Because Zac Efron... & Zendaya. 😉
I mean...come on. 😁

Anyway, I watched the movie. I liked it. The songs were really dope. I am talking catchy, infectious, dab-able songs! Really cool. 
Would I watch it again? Probably not in the next 6-9 months. 
But that's just because I need a break from my obsession...

A few critics had lamented the lack of plot between the musical numbers. I don't think it was a lack of plot as much as it was inadequate screen time for the characters to develop and take root in the audience's mind. 
Therefore, when a momentous event happened and the characters were affected, it was harder to empathize - it was harder to feel what The Greatest Showman wanted us to feel.

Would I recommend you go see it? Because they clearly put a lot of work and heart into the movie and the songs are pretty cool, I would say yes!


I don't have a four-year degree in film; I am merely a member of the audience, so...
​

Now, if only the The Wedding Party 2 - Destination Dubai would premiere in Atlanta, Georgia.

Oh, one last thing, just in case no one told you today or ever, you are precious, beautiful and loved.
The only One Who matters said it, so it must be true. 😍
