Let me just say there was nothing wrong with the performances. Francesca Hayward was absolutely stunning! She reminds me of Chiana from Farscape! She's so expressive I can't believe she hasn't done more acting not counting the ballet performances she has under her belt.. And Jennifer Hudson just about brought tears to my eyes when she sang "Memories"!
The biggest letdown was the instrumental score especially at the beginning. It was ODD. I've never seen the play so maybe that was the original score IDK. Anyway, this move lacked everything that made The Greatest Showman great, which absolutely blew me away. It just didn't flow at all.I fell asleep after 30 minutes and woke up just in time for the escape scene on the boat. I loved the ending mostly due to Jennifer Hudson's performance. But as a whole it just didn't feel like a solid movie to me.
One more note, as Trevor Noah pointed out, why does Macavity have a fur coat on? Cats already have a fur (well, hair) coat!
