Audience Member I have no idea what people don't see in this movie, one of the best movie adaptations of a musical I've ever seen. Phenomenal music numbers and a beautiful important story! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/08/25 Full Review HameZz O The music is obviously the best part but Christian Bale is a highlight too. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/31/25 Full Review Skylar G Best Musical. had to watch in school, and initially as a teen didn't enjoy but watching as I got older and understood more. I love it. Those who don't understand the film need to brush up on their history. Amazing music I know every song at this point in my adult hood. Great cast too, many went on to do much larger things. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/07/25 Full Review Rihannna H It’s honestly confusing for me to understand the story, I didn’t even know what was happening for most of it. It’s not amazing, but it’s not awful, just in the middle, it’s ok-good-ish. I love musicals, and the songs are pretty good. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review Audience Member I watched this movie in band in November and i was immediately hooked *spoilers ahead The songs were great and the characters were amazing The only stuff I didn’t like however were the medda scenes and the “sante fe” song and the the stuff that happens after the newsies print their own newspapers I kind of zoned out But other than those the movie was really amazing Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/25 Full Review SkyRo P In this review, I’m going to share my thoughts on both the film version of "Newsies" and its Broadway adaptation, as I believe they both resonate with me in similar ways. To start, I want to emphasize that both iterations are truly remarkable. While they share a common storyline, the film and the musical each embark on their own unique journeys. One is a cinematic experience, while the other brings the vibrancy of live theater to life. Despite their differences, both versions are captivating and fulfill all the expectations you might have. Christian Bale delivers an outstanding performance in the original film, while Jeremy Jordan shines as a star in the Broadway rendition. Together, they lead us through the story of young newspaper boys challenging authority, creating an exhilarating experience filled with fantastic songs, impressive choreography, and a compelling depiction of a challenging historical period. Key characters like Crutchy, Davie, Katherine, and Jack are essential to the narrative of this entire production. I highly recommend watching them on Disney+. The Broadway version edges out slightly, as it offers an exhilarating theatrical experience, enhanced by stunning cinematography that captures the essence of live performance. I’m confident that both adaptations will leave you entertained and inspired. Be sure to check them out! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
