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 it <50% its so peak and yes i am 10 years late who cares. the vocals were AMAZING bro and ive seen the reviews abt how this is quote "not built for people outside of america" BUT thats def completely false im from a whole nother continent and i personally think this is the best thing ive watched in my whole life. im not glazing or maybe i just have really bad taste lol the acting wasnt even that bad idk why people are SO pressed

I 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 talent and their immersion in their roles. The stage design was better appreciated from the higher cameras, which revealed far more than could have been seen from a seat in the theater. There are not sufficient words to extoll the composer, both musically and lyrically. Hamilton, the play, is a work of pure genius and of rigorous attention to crafting every word and nuance. Of course one must also acknowledge the author of the book upon which Hamilton was based, which I assume was a significant creation, even though I have not read it. I am in awe of Lin-Manuel Miranda, and I sincerely encourage audiences to partake of this masterpiece.

I 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 speaks in rhyming couplets and references the Constitution. I didn’t sign up for “Founding Fathers: The Talent Show.” There’s a certain smugness to it all, too — that unbearable “we’re making history cool!” vibe that only makes it more unbearable. It’s like being trapped in a high school production with a million-dollar budget. Hamilton is uniquely bad because it’s exactly the kind of thing a theater kid thinks is genius while everyone else in the room slowly loses the will to live.

What a load of rubbish, trying too much to be edgy it became disgusting

I 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 history with the only thing that seems accurate and true to life is that Hamilton existed and was Secretary of State And the views expressed by Hamilton are the least Hamiltonian views you're ever going to see. If you've ever read him, you kind of wonder if this is based on the same Alexander Hamilton. 1776 got a LOT of history wrong for artistic liberties, but at least the theme was accurate and it got more right than wrong. Hamilton doesn't even try. It's the story of Hamilton written by people that haven't even heard of his Report on Manufacturing and the economy he created.

If you didn't know going in, this isn't either a film or a TV show. It's a recording of the Broadway play of the same name. Admittedly, this play is for Americans who already have some idea of history. That probably excludes the younger generations, since the public school systems have gone south with years of Republican under-funding. (Seriously, some teachers make less than burger flippers.) As a stage actor and a history buff, I loved this play and am so sorry I didn't get a chance to see it on Broadway. There are multiple reasons I gave this a nine, the major of which is that I'm rating it as a play, not a film. First, I was blown away by the creativity. There is no spoken dialogue which is unusual for a musical. Second, it's done nearly all in hip-hop/rap, with one set-piece even in slam battle. The staging is great. Kudos for creative use of a turntable. I was blown away by the amazing, seemingly complicated, "rewind" scene. Yes, it may or may not be historically accurate. (History, or "his-story" is written by the victors, isn't it?) It's good story telling. It's political. It's fun and it's touching.
