tick, tick...BOOM!

If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free thoughts, please follow my blog to read my full review :)

"tick, tick...BOOM! Is one of my favorite movies of the year! Boasting memorable, addictive, first-rate music performed by astonishingly talented actors, Lin-Manuel Miranda delivers one of the best musical films of the century.

From the absolute standout, "30/90", to the highly satisfying payoff, "Louder than Words", the vast majority of songs serve a necessary purpose, moving the plot forward in an entertaining manner while also developing the compelling characters.

Andrew Garfield delivers one of the best performances of his career, demonstrating his impressive emotional range and artistic skills, both as an actor and a performer. Technically, no fault to point out whatsoever.

Do NOT miss this work of art!"

Rating: A.

Although everyone knows and admires Andrew Garfield thanks to the big screen, especially Spider-Man, he has always been a theater lover. Garfield becomes a giant in this movie, which combines the theater stage he loves so much with the big screen. If Steven Levenson had watched it, he would have loved this movie and Garfield.

I liked this movie a lot more than I thought it would.

I find that Netflix movies are hard to predict normally they are let downs but this one broke the cycle for me.

It was thoughtful. There was obviously research done by everyone involved.

Considering this is his directorial debut I do think that he does a good job for the most part. I think some scenes are amazing and will stick but others can be a little plainer.

Andrew Garfield is the star of the show though. His performance was fantastic. He really gave into the role. The pretentiousness, the heart, the sadness. He played the typical "musical theatre nerd" perfectly. It was so theatrical and over the top which worked. But the moments that called for more depth were also amazing. He was about to really capture the sadness.

I was really impressed. The music is as great too. The majority of the songs had a life of their own and felt original. They felt fresh even though this play was wrote in 1990.

A very heartfelt, inventive, and inspirational musical about the creative process that is expressed through memorable music. Andrew Garfield was the standout, he brought the story to life and oh my I would never have thought he could sing.

A beautiful celebration, full of musical escalation, with a gifted congregation and their great performances; an outstanding dedication, with oratorical elation, for a truly special showman, makes a great retrospective.
