The Greatest Showman [DVD] [2017]

Great But Not My Favourite Musical However Some Songs From Show Are Amazing If A Musical Buff Like Me, A Great Addition To My Set

Ok its the Mrs here writing this review. Now Im not a girly type person when it comes to tv....I hate soaps & all reality tv....come on people get a life. I love action & horror...I mean lots of blood & gore type horror not some horror film that is meant to scare the pants off you yet be pg rated.... My typical girly night when hubster out is watching action films in bed til 2am..... Expendables, Jason Statham films, ect ect. I also love SC-FI...especially X-Men ect. The Greatest Showman has been mentioned a few times....I love Hugh Jackman & have all of his films including Logan, Real Steel ect but the thought of him singing....well kinda puts Wolverine in a different light that I didnt want see him in. However after a trip to the hairdressers & her going on about her BIL watching it 5 times & getting the soundtrack & him normally being an action hero/SC-FI fanatic...you know true guy stuff (tho gal stuff in my case hooraaa lol) I thought I would get it....the worst thing happening the disc becomes a coaster for my cuppa lol. Ok this action freak here loves this film....this SC-FI freak right here....yep has the soundtrack 😂. OMG you have to get the movie......no its NOT a true life story of PT Barnum but an adaptation of show business & the birth of show business but more importantly to me with having a severely disabled daughter it shows how beauty lies everywhere & comes in many forms & should not be hidden away...... Its a true feel good film, it just makes you feel happy watching it & the music is fantastic. Hugh Jackman plays the part perfectly & while Im never gonna look at Wolverine the same way again lol, I could not imagine anyone else playing the part better. Every single actor & actress plays their part tremendously.... Greatest Showman truly is the greatest show Ive seen in many years & I cannot stop watching it. Me & hubster watched it & then hubby said when it finished 'wanna watch it again?'....yep we watched it again immediately after til 2am even tho alarm would be going off at 6am (alarm been our daughter lol) Its so good my sons who are in their 20's, my hubby, my grandchildren & most importantly my disabled daughter all absolutely love this film. It deserves awards galore in my opinion. No its not turned me into a girly girl & yes I still hate all tv soaps & reality crap & no Im not going to start watching musicals now including La La Land.....unless Hugh Jackman is in it this will be my last musical.... However this which is maybe my 27th time watching the film will NOT be my last lol. Though I am worried I will wear the disc out.....do you think that can happen???🤣 People if you havnt seen it...then see it. Yes there are the ones that say its not a true representation of Barnum but its NOT meant to be...no where on this film does it say 'This is based on a true story'.....also there is a review about no trailers....are you kidding me!!! That is also a plus point for me...I dont want trailers, I have google to google new & upcoming films for me....I bought this film to watch the film....not crappy trailers that each suck away 3 minutes of my life. Dont complain about the little stuff that doesnt really matter.....most films out there are far fetched ect...its the reason we love em.....come on what action film is true to life. Its the 'No way would that happen' that we love. Unless you want me babble on more....just get the film. Hugh Jackman YOU are The Greatest Showman ❤❤

Brand new in celephane and great film. Arrived on time too.

This is a wonderful musical, based on the story of P.T. Barnum. Barnum starts the film as a shipping clark, but loses his job when the firm's ships are sunk by a hurricane. Barnum uses the insurance from the sunken vessels to open a Museum, but is soon bored. He adds living figures to the Museum and renames it "Barnum's Circus". All is well, until he meets Swedish singer Jenny Lind, and goes on tour with her, neglecting the Circus. When Lind rejects his advances, Barnum returns to his Circus, to find the building on fire. Barnum's partner is injured in the fire, and his mansion is foreclosed by the insurance company. He retreats to a bar, where he is confronted by his Circus companions, who berate him (listen out for the Bearded Lady singing – she's played by New Zealander Keala Settle, and her voice with make you sit up!). In the end, Barnum sets up his circus in a huge tent and... well, you'd better buy the film if you want to know the rest! Seriously, Listen to the Bearded Lady sing – she's wonderful.

It was a present for my father who is 99! Great value for so thank you.

Brilliant 👏

Great movie great singing great overall. Zac effrons only great movie his singing and acting was spot on same for hugh jackman as he was amazing in this movie.this movie made pt barnum look like a star and also really heartwarming and wonderfull.A must watch for everyone around

Great movie thank you

La storia dell'imprenditore circense P.T. Barnum un po' romanzata come vuole la trasposizione cinematografica. Cast di grande impatto ; Hugh Jackman con un ritorno alle origini, in Australia recitava nei musical prima di approdare al cinema; Zac Efron, Zendaya , Keala Settle, tra gli altri, tutti abili nel canto e nel ballo. Non amo particolarmente i musical ma devo dire che per questo ho fatto un'eccezione. Nel 2019 fecero un tour mondiale nelle arene di tutto il mondo , saltando l'Italia, che a mio modo di vedere non gli ha tributato il giusto successo. Il supporto Blu Ray con la mia Oled TV è fantastico.

Film bellissimo. Buona qualità video.

Esta pelicula la vi 2 veces en el cine de lo increible que esta para mi era obligatorio comprarla en su mejor version ya que es una de las peliculas mas hermosas que he visto en mi vida, no soy fan de los musicales pero sin duda la historia, la musica, la letra de la canciones y las super coreografias hacen que te emociones ya que esta pelicula es todo un espectaculo audiovisual. La actuacion de Hugh Jackman es sublime en esta pelicula te olvidas por completo que alguna vez la hizo de Wolverine y solo vez a un gran padre de familia buscando una mejor vida para su familia, la pelicula te emociona, te hace reir, cantar y llorar. En familia se disfruta muchisimo. De lado tecnico es impecable Fox siempre entrega la mejor calidad en 4K tan solo hay que ver Xmen Apocalipsis y Logan para darse cuenta que si hay alguien que sabe de 4K es Fox, la imagen es increiblemente limpia y el HDR asombra la iluminacion exterior y las luces del espectaculo en verdad viven. Esta version cuenta con la mejor pista de audio ya que viene en Dolby Atmos algo exclusivo del disco 4K con 11.1 Canales disponibles para disfrutar la pelicula tan cual fuera un concierto. No es exageracion pero sin duda es una pelicula memorable si les gusta la actuacion de Hugh Jackman y disfrutaron la pelicula de The Prestige de seguro les va a Encantar ya que esta ambientada en esa epoca y se ve a Hugh Jackman en lo que es su mero mole. 100000% recomendada gracias Amazon por darmela una semana antes de la fecha de lanzamiento oficial.

Un film en tous points fabuleux. Magique, il nous transporte, les musiques sont d'une grande qualité, on rêve, on pleure, on a envie de danser, c'est tout ce qui en fait un film exceptionnel, ces émotions, ces chorégraphies parfaites, inoubliable. Il faut voir le film comme il est, une fiction, 2h positives et entraînantes, dont on ressort ému et la tête pleine de rêves. Hugh Jackman prouve ici encore son grand talent d'acteur, dans des rôles variés, et Zac Efron et Zendaya surprennent, se détachant de l'image de teen stars, pour montrer leur vrai talent d'acteurs/chanteurs. Magnifique

Quelle superbe réalisation, tout est de qualité, j'ai découvert ce film grâce à un youtubeur qui valorisait la qualité de l'image/son et c'est un vrai régal sur un home cinéma. Je l'avais déjà vu en streaming mais il me fallait de blu ray 4k pour avoir le natif. Dommage que l'atmos soit rare sur les versions françaises, le dts proposé est très bon quand même.
