Shameful confession!

I did like The Greatest Showman, but hated Mamma, Mia!

Going to see Dumbo at the weekend, so far have loved all the remakes, Mary Poppins, Jungle Book, and I especially loved Beauty and the Beast, so hope Dumbo won’t be a disappointment

I haven’t watched or read any of the above except did see The Lady in the Van and was astonished how people thought it a sentimental smiley thing...except where I saw it in small independent in Headingley near where AB grew up. A bit of s silence and some hint of pursed lips. I mean why couldn’t he have installed a portaloo in his garden. In for a penny.

I didn't enjoy La-La Land at all. hype, hype hype!!

Hated Moulin Rouge!!

Haven’t seen the Greatest Showman (and don’t think I’ll bother after the comments on here). Also disliked LaLaLand. Loved the stage shows Les Mis, Phantom, Mama Mia, Blood Brothers, Lion King and War Horse (was fascinated by the puppets and how it’s so easy to forget they are puppets after a while).
Also have no intention of reading 50 Shades.

I feel the same as most of you, but feel quite sad as well. The reason being is that my cousin Paul Massey who lives in LA is the sound recordist for the film and actually went towards the Oscar he won earlier this year. ( Such a big award) So I was expecting it to be extra special which it wasn't and I was disappointed. I will probably watch it again just for the music which was good I thought. But otherwise boring.

100% agree with you I can’t understand what all the fuss was about, definitely not my thing but that’s what makes us all different.

I didn't like Wicked musical and neither did OH. Infact we left half way through. Think what some people like doesn't suit others regardless of the ratings.

I’m with you juicylucy, I absolutely did not get LaLa land, awful!

I liked mama Mia but maybe because I saw it at the cinema with my DD and it just made. Me smile. I haven't seen Greatest Showman. What did people here think of La La land? I TV nought it was OK but not as brilliant as everyone said and not really Oscar nomination worthy.

I have to confess to loathing Mama Mia. I much prefer the the old Hollywood musicals some already mentioned.
I also have to admit to Gransnetters that I don’t enjoy Harry Potter books or films and have to pretend to my Grandchildren that they are great.

Marilla I am with you on the Harry Potter books and films! I can understand children liking them but I have family members in their 40s and 50s who are obsessed!

I haven't seen it but my daughter and 7 year old granddaughter absolutely loved it.

I haven't yet seen 'The Greatest Showman', though quite looking forward to it.

However, like another poster on here, I really can't abide 'Mama Mia' - can't think of anything endearing about a woman who was stupid enough to casually sleep with THREE different men in the same month without taking precautions! On top of that, I was never actually an Abba fan, in the first place, so the music doesn't even have an appeal for me - in fact, I'd find it very off-putting.

Despite saying that I was never an Abba fan, I absolutely LOVED 'Priscilla Queen of The Desert' ;-)!

La La Land was like being promised a cup of coffee and being given a cup of froth. No substance at all.

I have not seen The Greatest Showman. Did not like Lala Land. Liked Bohemian Rhapsody. Did not like Les Mis. Have read all three of the Fifty Shades books, got at a charity shop for 50 pence each, and thought "I can do better," Her new book The Mister is out now, May give it a go if I see it in a charity shop.
What somebody thinks is good may not be what another thinks is good.

Can I suggest that anyone who didn't like The Greatest Showman watches Barnum instead. Same story but wonderful production with Michael Crawford in the leading part. I could watch this one over and over again.

I hated it . ??????

Havent seen it. No desire to...so does that out me in the not liking it category?

I was laughing about Mama Mia while my sister and criends thought it was great. I will confess I loved A Star is Born. I love Lady Gaga being "Stephanie" while I also have a crush on Bradley Cooper!"

Oh thank goodness ....I disliked the film as well...also couldn’t abide Gone With The Wind....and Mamma Mia...bad singing bad acting and bad dancing...what was to like ?!

Loved the Greatest Showman but didn’t like La La Land - different horses for different courses as they say

In general, I usually prefer the stage show (with the exception of Grease and Dirty Dancing) so disliked the film version of Mamma Mia and Les Miserables (favourite stage show of all time). I suppose it depends which one you see first, as that probably has the greatest impact on your psyche- the exception for me being Jesus Christ Superstar as I loved both. I hated CATS; all that slinking around in your face!!

I liked the music in the Greatest Snowman and the storyline did get better as it went along. I hated 50 Shades; I have no time for subservient women! I'm still waiting to see some of the other films listed in the above comments but everyone's tastes are different and a good thing too.

I too was keen on it. Don't know if it was the topic or just the constant frenzie of the film. Haven't seem Mama Mia 2.
