The Greatest Showman Ratings & Reviews
- Gene Geisler23 april 2026The score was good and the vocals on point. The story however was weak. I don't like how they made the lead vocalist into the villain or how the story line was so predictable. I will only watch parts of this again where the major songs are. Will not watch the whole movie over.
- tellum10 maart 2026The story and messaging have a lot of problems, and historical accuracy is practically backwards. With that said, I really like Hugh Jackman singing and dancing, and there’s a lot of that.
- kurtis park23 februari 2026A fun, entertaining and magical story. Outstanding performances from all those involved.
- Mandy Wehrle22 maart 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.
- Frances12 maart 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."
- Mr. Mikey16 februari 2026Great movie. My kids love it ALL time and I re-watch from time to time too. It’s pretty cool seeing Wolverine singing and in real life not as the normal Logan.
- clayvista13 april 2025Instant classic! Wonderful program
- Zbigniew Czachor25 januari 2026This really was a great show and a great showman.
- planetvortex3 januari 2026Entertaining with some powerful songs. Not to be seen as a ducumentary or a way of life, as my sources say this was historically inaccurate. Good movie Great to see something other than acting. Generally a fan of musicals so it fit my category.
- Streetter4 september 2025I stumbled upon this movie one day, and was hooked within the first minute.
- ርልዪረ6 augustus 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.

- S Jöhansson23 december 2025They can say it all sounds crazy, but this is the best musical ever made.
- Jon Westwood12 november 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
