The ending was perfect and the direction of how the story of Barnum’s circus came to be was just great.

The movie is a lot of fun, even if it doesn’t always have a super-strong focus on where it’s headed.

It’s certainly not a perfect film, but its energy and drive carry it through as a memorable movie musical... Read more

Flashy and vibrant and full of life, but falters in the final execution.

Doesn’t feel like it fully captures the life and times of P.T. Barnum but it does make for a reasonably entertaining watch. Read more

This has some good songs even if the film around those songs isn’t all that great. Read more

As genuinely if superficially enjoyable as The Greatest Showman is, there is something unseemly in embracing so tidy a view. Read more

A perfectly well-meaning musical, even though it is historically inaccurate. Read more

Altogether it’s a relatively inoffensive way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

Eric Hillis of The Movie Waffler

In terms of rewriting history, The Greatest Showman is a toxic spectacle, a morally reprehensible piece of work, one that's as offensive to a modern enlightened audience as Barnum's show was to cultured theatre-goers of the 19th century. Yet while its ignorant lack of self-awareness makes it one of the most problematic movies to come out of Hollywood in recent times, such innocence gives it an undeniable appeal. Read more

A melodically entertaining family film that the whole family can enjoy.

Characters are drawn as simply as the themes they espouse, and no amount of singing can hide this fact. Read more

A disjointed, glossy, sugar-coated mess that just skates by on Jackman’s natural charm and charisma. Read more

Might be an ambitious, even good, show, but it’s one that never feels worth investing in.

Proves utterly lost as a work of semi-fiction, giving us little to applaud in the closing credits...

Een muzikale film waarin de prachtige beelden van een 19e eeuwse setting uitstekend samensmelten met moderne popmuziek en vertellende songteksten.

Jordy Gomes of De Filmrecensent

Een musical die tot leven komt op het doek. Het eerste nummer van de film zegt genoeg: dit is inderdaad ‘The Greatest Show’. Read more

Qua vormgeving en muziek werkelijk onnavolgbaar, maar wat betreft dramatische inslag schiet de film wat tekort. Read more

Met spektakel entertainment moet de kijker zich gewoon laten overvallen door de show. Read more

Een traditionele Hollywood musical, die zeer vermakelijk is maar ook veel te vaak de veilige weg kiest. Read more

Een meer dan vermakelijke film voor musicalliefhebbers, maar speelt helaas veel te veel op safe... Read more

Is magisch, maar Fox gaat met het einde nu al in de richting van zijn moederbedrijf Disney. Read more
