Is utterly shit!
I have to admit to not really watching it properly - it's on in the background but it's AWFUL!
I preferred Hugh whatshisface as Wolverine  |

I have to agree with you. I love Hugh Jackman, but I just couldn't not get into this film.
Him as wolverine however...  |

I loved him playing wolverine 
But I also love the greatest showman. I did have to concentrate on it to full enjoy it though with the lights out and popcorns in hand.
It won’t be for everyone though |

"I dont get it
Do you all have children?
My son is 18 does that count  "
Haha well there must be something about it if teenagers like it
Maybe I should watch it properly without gin and being distracted on here 
I usually love a musical |

I have a 12 year old but he’s liked it from the beginning, one song stuck with him “This is me” and the underlying moral and further story he took from it, work hard for what you want, just because you are different doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be welcomed in society and when everything fails pick yourself up and start again

I think it's a bit lile marmite to be honest. Some love, some hate.
I will say I prefer HJ in Les Miserables though  |

I've only ever heard that song, not seen the film and don't know what it's about, but I can't sing the song without crying.  |

Yeah I s don't get Les Mis either - or Frozen.
I think its all a bit soulless and screechy.

Frozen no comment never watched it.
We’ll have to agree to disagree on Les Miserables, I was probably biased to like it as could hear the songs as it was being made from across the river |

"The bearded lady was on strictly last night.
She was very good.
Is she a real person?"
The lady on strictly looked very real and sounded very real and I think she was real and she did have a beard. |

"It's one of my go to movies to cheer myself up love it. Dont love my daughter murdering the songs so much."
It is a cheer up movie in our house. If we don’t get time to watch it full, we flip these two you tube videos on of the rehearsals - the emotion and joy that shines from them all enjoying their work says enough

I half watched it for the first time last night. I hate musicals, people don't just break into song in real life!  
It was quite good. |

May not do well to examine to closely.
Captures well the desire to belong with self-affirming anthems sticking two fingers at the rest of society by a group of stylishly attractive 'freaks'.
A Fab version has obviously been mooted. Some minor changes. "Rewrite the stars" being done swinging from the Snake man laying with his penis through a board, and a happier ending, with the fire scene cut short when the chorus girls line up to squirt out the flames. |

This reminds me of the Micky Flanagan sketch where he's describing the pissed up woman swaying by the stereo belting out "I will survive". The other women are slurring "forget him Maureen! He's a Baaastard!!" |
