  I try not to be automaticaly dismissive of certain genres of film but genreally when i hear the term 'musical' my eyes dont exactly light up. Personally have seen all of 2 musicals to date that i have really enjoyed (Rocky Horror and Phantom of the opera). On hearing of 'The Greatest Showman' coming out and hearingg the synopsis i wasnt exactly bowled over. Giving having nothing else to do this saturday afternoon, the weather being shite and seeing this available, thought i may as well..and am i ever glad i did..as much as it pains me to admit this about an all singing, all dancing musical, this was fantastic. Concerned about the tunes being of the old style circus ilk..dont be..the tunes feel appropriate, fresh, dare i say occasionally exciting. The film on the whole..im uusually a grumpy fucker most of the time but i swear it tookall the strength i had in my face not to start beaming from ear to ear..and  this never happens. Fantastic story, fantastic performances, exciting, great tunes of a high calibre. Fans and non fans of musicals alike, suggest you do the same as me and rather than auto dismiss, check this out. Its as near a sure bet as i can give that you wont be disapointed.

  I know, SirWanksAlot86, i could'nt believe i was this entertained and this transfixed by a musical aboout a circus but damn, it was so good. Was convinced that the critical and audience praise the film had received was nonscence but it appears that the fans early on were correct...a bloody entertaining watch and a fun ride throughout.

  Dony..don't even get me started on the likes of hip hop and 99% of music that finds its way into the charts nowadays. Being a fan of rock/metal (proper rock, not these 2 year olds playing with their dads guitars, growning their hair and on appealing to teenage girls haha), 70s'80s in general and some more unconventional stuff (total non conformist me). All i will say is each their own, would be boring if we all liked the same music (just don't make me listen to it haha). Hard to catagorise the style of music adopted in the film but stereotypical musical or circus inspired music it most definatly is not (in a really good way).
