Am I the only person who's never seen The Greatest Showman?

Am wondering if I am? Ive just never got around to watching it, but other people look at me like Ive got seven heads when I tell them because they are totally obsessed with it, went to see it about 20 times in the cinema and go to singalongs etc. I feel like I'm missing out on something. I am familiar with the songs though because they seem to be everywhere.

Ive never seen a Frozen either....

I haven't seen it and don't plan to

freeAnneBoleyn · 03/01/2019 22:52

Don’t. It is horrific.

crosser62 · 03/01/2019 22:53

Yes you are.
And YABU... get your ass on catch up, get chocolate and popcorn and then enjoy because they are both fabulous filums! Grin

You’re not missing much - it’s fine, nothing to write home about despite Michelle Williams. It’s sort of feels like a Baz Luhrman homage, and not in an entirely good way.

TroysMammy · 03/01/2019 22:53

I've never seen it and have no wish to either. I have seen Frozen though.

Weezol · 03/01/2019 22:53

It doesn't interest me at all.

I have seen Frozen, found it pretty mediocre. Not a patch on The Jungle Book, Aladdin or Toy Story!

megletthesecond · 03/01/2019 22:54

I've not seen it. DD has the DVD and it looked awful.

Owlettele · 03/01/2019 22:54

Haven't seen it........Frozen though yabu (😂)

Heyha · 03/01/2019 22:54

I haven't, or Frozen. Happy with my life choices Smile

Sparklingbrook · 03/01/2019 22:55

I was expecting something amazing but it was a bit meh.

Not seen Frozen.

thenightsky · 03/01/2019 22:55

I haven't seen it and have no interest in seeing it.

Fairylea · 03/01/2019 22:55

I’ve never seen it either. Not sure I can stomach Hugh jackman singing.

MadisonAvenue · 03/01/2019 22:55

I've not seen it and don't plan on changing that.

I haven't seen Mama Mia either, for what it's worth.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 03/01/2019 22:55

The what?

frogsbreath · 03/01/2019 22:56

I finally relented and watched it over Christmas. I really didn't think much of the film at all but do enjoy two or three of the songs and me and ds sing them together. You aren't really missing much.

BubonicWoman · 03/01/2019 22:57

I haven't.

ManicUnicorn · 03/01/2019 22:57

I wonder if people have raved about it so much that I'll watch it and find it a bit rubbish? For the record I hate doing Moulin Rogue. I remember sitting in the cinema and wondering what the fuss is about because I thought it wa she crap.

I've never seen the Greatest Showman or Frozen either. I could probably sit through them OK but I wouldn't go out of my way to see them.

I would however need physically restrained and force would need to be employed to make me watch Mamma Mia.

Racheyg · 03/01/2019 22:59

I tried to watch it but dc's weren't interested so switched off after 10 mins a watchers ferdinand.

Frozen.....only watched first time this year. DC's love it although 4 years too late to the party

ManicUnicorn · 03/01/2019 23:00

Ive actually seen Mamma Mia! Saw it in the cinema.

MadisonAvenue · 03/01/2019 23:01

Oh, I've not seen Frozen either.

tilder · 03/01/2019 23:01

I haven't seen it either. I've seen frozen, but never all the way through. Just random bits.

PinkAvocado · 03/01/2019 23:06

I watched it last month. The songs are great but the story line is just a bit boring really. The music carries it. Plus in real life, the lead character cared very little about the animals’ welfare which made me not warm to fictional him at all.

I watched the first Mama Mia and hated it as much as I thought I may. Actually more so.

Frozen though...love it.

drowningincustard · 03/01/2019 23:09

Not seen it either. Probably will one day but not going out of my way to make it happen...
Frozen is crap but both my girls at preschool age love it because of the one song... If you are not less than 5 don't bother!!!

PatchworkGirl · 03/01/2019 23:09

I saw it recently. I love musicals and used to have a big interest in the history of the circus so had high expectations. It's ok but not great - very disappointing.
