I really liked Greatest Showman. Nice 'feel-good' movie and good musical.

Miles better than La La Land at least, it was a big reminder to me of how out of touch most reviewers/ awards places are.

LA LA land was amazing though..

If I had more time on the plane, I was thinking to watch Greatest Showman.

It's got quite the range on Metacritic.  It literally has a 0 and a 100.  Seems like a divisive movie. :o

Sure, Jan.

It was boring, the songs were few and far between while also being pretty boring and shame. The story was meh, didn't click for me like I guess its supposed to.

I don't like it at all.

Depends how critical you are when watching films I guess. If you enjoy musicals then its a top watch for sure, the songs are great and its good feel good movie :P

Eh I thought it had the perfect balance between songs and dialogue. They were cute and memorable! Definitely one of my recent favorites. I mean, it wasn't just the critics that loved it. It's got a great score on IMDB too!

Eh. I thought there wasn't enough songs and I've pretty much forgotten the songs that were in it anyway. I think most British people would agree with me, maybe we just have a different taste.

Its score is nowhere near as high as Infinity War though, which tells you all you need to know ;)

Holy shame IW has 8.9 with 300k votes. It will get lower though but that's better than expected

Nah I think brits love this song.

I prefered lala land over greatest showman too, although I didn't love either.

Would you guys consider yourselves musical fans in general?

What do you think of Les Miserables, Hamilton, Wicked, Annie style musicals and then film musicals like Mamma Mia?

No. I'm a movie fan though and as a movie I thought La La Land was amazing

Yeah well that explains it. As a musical fan I found it extremely disappointing, most of my friends agree.
