Positively one of the worst movies, never mind musicals that I have ever watched in my entire life and I am now almost 64.

I am not only amazed at the mediocrity of the movie but also by the response from those movie goers who see fit to rate this production as 10 star.

One reviewer suggested that it was the best movie they had seen since Star Wars when they were a kid. What planet is this reviewer now living on? He/she could not possibly have seen the same movie that I endured just a few hours ago.

It lacked story-line, pace, memorable songs. It had one simplistic tune, melody or whatever which was constantly repetitive. The characters lacked depth and credibility. And the actors were poor in the art of song and dance. The backdrops and sfx were abominable and B- movie like in execution.

If this movie succeeds at the Oscars, it is further proof of how out of touch America is with the rest of the world in both politics and the arts.

The only saving grace is that neither can get much worse and that in the spirit of hope great things will arise from the ashes.
