The Greatest Showman (2017)
This IS the greatest show!
What a film?! This is probably one of the best films I have seen in ages. The music, characters, costumes and story line had me gripped from the start. All of the musical numbers were captivating from start to end (especially for 'The Other Side' and 'From Now On') and this was definitely worth the 7 year wait.
When I fist saw the first trailer n June I was just expecting an average entertaining film. But by the first few lines of the opening number I just wanted to give the film a standing ovation. You just can't come out of the cinema with a big smile on your face.
And round of applause to Justin Paul and Benj Pasek.
Hugh Jackman + Zac Efron + Zendaya = an all star cast! This film had an amazing and talented cast. Some of my favorite songs involved Zac Efron in a duet with another cast member.
To conclude, go see this awesome film. The songs and dancing are amazing, acting is awesome and if this film doesn't get an award, somethings wrong in the world.
The Flash: The Flash Reborn (2017)
'We're back baby!'
What a way to start an expected amazing season? From Wally and Cisco fighting Peek-a-Boo all the way too the first appearance of The Thinker, I was blown away. Was it the best ever episode of The Flash? No. But I was impressed. In the episode you had drama, comedy, action - everything I want in an episode of The Flash. I love the new suit and when I saw the promo for episode 2 'Mixed Signals' I was the happiest I have ever been.
However, there are some low points about the episode. The CGI wasn't that great and I kind of wish either Julian Albert and Tracy Brand were there. But the main thing for me was that it was too rushed. For trying to put a story line that includes Team Flash without Barry, Team Flash getting Barry back, Barry being lost and Barry fighting the villain, I think they could have put that into two episodes.
Even though there were some low points, I still loved the episode and I would recommend people to watch it.
