I absolutely adore this movie. Hugh Jackman dazzles in his role of circusmaster PT Barnum. He and Zac Efron are amazing together! You'll be singing every song (and attempting to dance every dance!) for days and will immediately want to…

What can I say about this movie except that it is stupendous! The acting, singing, scenery, storyline are all interesting. The music is haunting. Casting was perfect.

Music is the star of this movie. Seen this movie years ago and wished to revisit the life and times of Mr. Barnum, as played by Mr. Jackman

I enjoyed the music of this movie a lot - listened to it on repeat for weeks afterward! Hugh Jackman and the rest of the cast were terrific.

One of the recent examples of a return of the musical genre to mainstream film. Hugh Jackson stars as P.T. Barnam and Michelle Williams as his wife in a musical that tells the story of his development of his circus company. The film…

So incredibly boring. I really wanted to understand the hype, but I just could not.

The songs from this musical are so great they'll get stuck in your head... and that's quite okay!

It’s only fitting that a musical biopic about the life of P. T. Barnum, whose ability to mix hype with spectacle earned him the title “The World’s Greatest Showman”, should consist of a string of bigger-than-life MTV music videos, each one…

The Greatest Showman is one of the most interesting and inspiring movies I think I have ever seen. Just seeing how P.T. Barnum went from bankruptcy to being a massive and revolutionary showman was amazing. The music in this movie was so…

The energy of the cast and the visuals make up for a rather cliched biopic plot.

The Greatest Showman is an amazing movie musical with an amazing cast. Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson, and Zendaya. The soundtrack is very skilled and the dancing is incredible. This movie musical is based on…

This DVD deserves 5 Stars --- The Greatest Showman is an excellent video and the story will touch most everyone's heart. There are very few movies that I would consider seeing a second time; however, this is one of them. The music also is…

I enjoyed the story, characters, and performances on film. The story is well told, the characters memorable, and the circus history was great.

I think watching this movie is like at the same time watching Disney-like fairy tale, inspirational story and a great music concert. It’s always good to hear a story of a man with vision and be successful from the scratch, although the…

A decent human interest story. Dance numbers that were enthusiastic but not exceptional. Like most musicals these days, the songs were fairly feeble. A lot of glitz but not enough real substance to match.

I don't even care that this movie is not historically accurate. The music is amazing, the acting is great, and the story is just heartwarming and good.

Absolutely LOVE this movie. The music is addictive, the time period is intriguing, and the topic of sideshows and the people involved is something I have always been interested in.

Such an excellent high energy and feel good movie. Highly energetic song and dance numbers with great storytelling in between. Awesome cinematography and acting by all. Thoroughly enjoyed this for a musical. Should become a new classic!

4* I don't usually like musicals but this one was good!

It's a feel good movie that takes you through drama and tragedy first. Excellent music selection - radio/Broadway worthy. Worth listening to the music on it's own. I was conservative with my rating only because the PT shows were missing…

Somehow they made the modern music meld very well with the Victorian-era setting, and Hugh Jackman's singing voice has much improved since Les Mis. Enjoyable spectacle showing the rise of P.T. Barnum from poor urchin to world-famous…
