A Disappointment This is a musical not made for people outside of the USA. I had to watch the thing again and wiki Hamilton to try to figure out who was who except for some of the bigger names. Going by the poster, this is was meant to be some attempted rise to fame of Harry Pott…
sykobanana · 4/10I suppose this movie was behind the eight ball from the very start in a way. On the one hand, there was such a tremendous hype for it as a play, it built the expectation of being blown away, and on the other hand, it being presented in its live theater version made it lose some o…
Peter McGinn · 7/10This is not a Movie. It is a television program. It is a filmed stage play that is being broadcast on television. These things do not add up to this being a film, not even a TV-movie.
"My name is Alexander Hamilton/And there's a million things I haven't done/But just you wait, just you wait," Lin-Manuel Miranda sort of sings at the beginning of Hamilton. About three hours later we're still waiting. Hamilton is divided into two acts. The first covers Hamilton's…

badelf · 9/10I guess it's a musical, and the world needs more of them, so there is that going for it. And I guess the races are swapped so... that is supposed to make it really good for reasons that aren't really clear. But, really, it's void of wit and insight, it is completely insulting to…
GenerationofSwine · 1/10What a load of rubbish, trying too much to be edgy it became disgusting
ARGMAN · 1/10I didn’t finish Hamilton. I didn’t want to. I didn’t need to. From the moment someone opened their mouth and started rapping about the Federalist Papers, I knew: this was not for me. Impressive, I guess, but also exhausting. It’s like being stuck at a dinner party where everyone…
Parker · 1/10I was stunned by all of those negative reviews. I thought the stage play was masterfully presented on the big screen. The camera work was well coordinated and well edited, with attention to views from above and strategic close-ups of the actors, revealing the extent of their tale…
people just hate to hate man im not from america so idk much abt this a. hamilton thing but the songs are good the writing is good EVERYTHING IS GOOD imo idk why theres so much disappointment. its probably cuz its in the wrong category but still i dont see why people have to rate…
