The Greatest Showman Ratings & Reviews
- Mandy WehrleMarch 22, 2025I have loved this movie since I was like six or seven i’m 12 now and I still love it this is an amazing movie. I’m really mad at Disney+ for deleting this because I have to find somewhere else to watch it on but I will keep watching it if I can it was an amazing rewatch and amazing music.
- Jon WestwoodNovember 12, 2025The best film I’ve seen. Not normally a musical fan but this film has such a good story and cast. How this took so many years to get green lit by the studios is beyond me
- FrancesMarch 12, 2025I love the beginning and the end of this movie. I wish they had a "skip to the good stuff" button. It is entertaining nonetheless. The songs and choreography are the real stars. "They're Laughing Anyway, Kid, So You Might As Well Get Paid."

- thomasrogers753September 29, 2025That one bar scene would’ve cost like 500$ in shots at any college I don’t care how historically inaccurate this movie is, this thing is a MASTERPIECE

- sgkf2August 15, 2025One of the very few musical movies that I enjoyed. The eye to detail is amazing and I loved the way it was played and directed.
- ርልዪረAugust 6, 2025THE GREATEST SHOWMAN is a charming, spectacular musical and dance movie with valuable themes about the following: healing conflict, finding reconciliation, showing kindness, discovering and giving real love, unconditional love, and more. This original musical which is inspired by the imagination of P.T. Barnum tells the story of the visionary, P.T. Barnum, who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation. P.T. Barnum played by Hugh Jackman, founder of the three-ring circus, started with nothing; but he envisioned a grand spectacle of theater, acrobatics, and amusement. Academy Award® nominee Hugh Jackman especially likes “…the idea that your talent, your imagination, and your ability to work hard should be the only things that determine your success. He (PT Barnum) knew how to make something out of nothing, how to turn lemons into lemonade. I’ve always loved that quality. He followed his own path and turned any setback he had into a positive. So many things I aspire to in my life are embodied in this one character.” Australian director Michael Gracey says that this film “…also touches on another idea of these times…families built around allowing people to express who they are without reservation… A big idea in the film is that your real wealth is the people that you surround yourself with and the people who love you…Barnum pulled people together who the world might otherwise have ignored. And by bringing each of these people into the light, he created a family who was always going to be there for each other. In the course of the film, Barnum almost loses both his real family and his circus family – but then you watch him discover that the most important thing he can do is bring them both back together again… Barnum’s story is about not limiting your imagination, about using what’s in your head to create new worlds….” For Gracey, everything hinged on getting the music for this movie right. He determined that the songs could counterpoint the period setting – rather than going back in time, he wanted songs that would make the characters and dilemmas urgently of-the-moment. Benj Pasek and Justin Paul is known for Oscar®-winning work on La La Land brilliantly provided this and more. Gracey said, “What Benj and Justin songs they wrote are always taking you somewhere – each is a narrative in its own right.” Jackman also says, “What I like most is that at its heart, this is a film about taking risks, following your dreams and celebrating what makes each and every one of us unique…Barnum filled his show with the most talented but overlooked people he knew and gave them a magnificent spotlight in which to shine – and that no matter who you are, no matter how you differ from supermodels and football players, it’s irrelevant. Love yourself exactly the way you were born.” The music, choreography, and production elements of this spectacular musical movie creatively and freshly communicate the central themes through the skillful performances of top performers. As with the songs for The Greatest Showman, the design aesthetic blends vintage and new – hurtling the 19th century of P.T. Barnum into the future of today.
- jonahwhite626July 31, 2025Personally, the best musical I've ever watched. Songs are extremely catchy
- mickerdooJuly 3, 2025Jackman, Zendaya and the circus cast bring this vibrant story to life. Great song and dance. Flies by really fast.
- The Gutter MonkeyFebruary 11, 2025Went in expecting a musical about the fascinating life of P.T. Barnum, ended up getting a trite, uninspired, on-the-nose social commentary about how bad bigotry is (way to break new ground with that one). Oh, and there was some fictional character using P.T. Barnum's name popping up occasionally.
