Well deserved. Excellent movie in my opinion, and I’m typically not into musicals that much. All the reviewer complaints have nothing to do with the film, but some old controversy that isn’t even that bad.

hugh jackmans best acting performance

Wolverine is well known for his recovery abilities!

Another disagreement with critics? :P

It's a fluffy, easy to digest, crowd pleasing musical. It's generally the type of film that appeals to a fairly large group of people. Everything I've seen of it just made it seem ok, besides Jackman's performance which I've heard is really good. The only issue I have is that a movie about P.T Barnum could have been so much more. He was a really fascinating person, so just doing a run-of-the-mill musical about him seems like a waste.

I enjoyed Jackman's performance in Les Miserables some years back, so I'll give this one a shot at home eventually. Nice to see a musical do so well.

Even though it had a much better opening weekend and took longer to get to $100 million domestically I think that Murder on the Orient Express is also a pretty good stealthy box office hit. Plus it did pretty good overseas also.
