While this might not exactly be the same as seeing this Broadway smash live-in-person, since I was never actually going to do that, this was a nice chance to finally see the musical and find out if it was just over-hyped 'cool' history teacher raps, or what exactly. Oddly, despite slightly wanting to turn it off after like 30 minutes, I've watched it like 3 times now...but like "watched" it, while I folded laundry and did chores and stuff, I think I might just really like the soundtrack/music...

Was hoping it was over half way through and couldn't finish it. Let me know if it's worth sitting through. Any time the lead was in shot all I could think was how much he looks like a bad magician. Maybe it's better as a broadway show for that reason. I'll take my contacts out and squint next time. The music was so repetitive, but not in the usual catchy song kind of way. I just wanted it to be over.

Whatever criticism you might have, it's important to remember that this is a Broadway musical - not a political treatise nor a historical textbook. And as a musical, it's a great success. The music is fun, memorable, and expertly crafted to fit the narrative, which itself is quite well developed. The Disney release probably isn't the best way to experience Hamilton - bleeping the swears is fucking stupid and I'd prefer the camerawork to be more invisible - but it's a great time nonetheless.

So I started watched this with my wife's family who are into theater & musicals, and within 10 minutes we were all cringing so hard we had to switch to something else. I finished it on in the background weeks later, in part because Disney+ doesn't have a way of clearing something from your "continue watching" queue. Not only is Hamilton emblematic of a tone-deaf liberal treatment of history, it's also reminiscent of that parent or teacher who goes "I can rap too yo" except it's three hours long.

There are many things to say about Hamilton's flaws as a political and historical work. But. As a character piece, Hamilton is gorgeous, stunning and flawless. It's a Greek tragedy where every character is utterly sympathetic even as they're destroying themself, where concepts like "leaving a legacy" and "standing up for oneself" are shown as worthy only when you can let go of the toxic masculinity infesting them - and if you can't, you ruin the lives of others and one's own. Magnificent.

Sure the founding fathers rapping is unique. But just like a unique youtube video the premise got old after 10 minutes. All the songs sound the same. Because of this the 1st half becomes background noise while the 2nd half becomes an embarrassing, poorly written family drama. The characters don't really grow, as the plot is so busy trying to cram half of Hamilton's life, so the characterization ends up being shouting the themes of the musical and whether they like or dislike them.

Rap is an effective way to impart a bunch of information in a quick and entertaining fashion. Miranda, who barely has any voice to speak of, clearly plays the lead because he wrote the play. And his lyrics are impressive. For me, Soo and Goldsberry are the MVPs, the latter's vocals on "Satisfied" and "It's Quiet Uptown" (the tracks relaying some of the most salient parts of the story) being two of the musical highlights.

I spent a year being in love with the Broadway cast soundtrack and seriously consider this a masterpiece. Alas, I could not win the ticket lottery so this was long anticipated. Movie adaptation was a downgrade due to the distracting camera angles. I prefer the entire stage. Still, nobody did it like Lin-Manuel Miranda (who's shown he's no fluke): the music, lyrics, cast, repeated themes and similarities between the men. Fav scenes: most of the 1st half especially Goldsberry's Satisfied; ending.

The sheer courage to do a musical like this is awe-inspiring. It is so easy to fail, it can go awkward so effortlessly (it does every now and then; but not too much) and can be boring so easily... Yet it is none of them and although I'm no expert on musicals, it is a madly innovative one (that rewind thing was crazy) within what I have seen so far. The story is wonderful and the music is exceptional. Hats off to Lin-Manuel Miranda... This is a huge leap of faith, but he landed marvelously.

The mythology of the American Founding Fathers re-contextualized into a pro-immigrant narrative about Black empowerment that also doubles as a powerful character study. The politics might not be perfect but everything about this is a magnificent masterpiece: The Music, the acting, the writing, the technical theatre aspects. Hamilton is 100% deserving of every piece of praise it has received, and, dare I say it, really just might be greatest Broadway Musical of all time.

After watching this stage recording, I feel the play is over-rated & I’m unconvinced that Hamilton’s popularity as a historical figure is warranted. The musical is undoubtedly well-written & well-performed, but I was never invested in the Disnified portrayal of the tax-evaders’ war of independence. Eliza's character-arc is superfluous adding another plot-line to an already long play. Overall the contemporary hip-hop & period costumes just weren’t for me, though I did enjoy “Non-Stop".

I think it's incredibly hard to screw up such perfect source material, but because the creative team behind the original show took extra effort in filming its Broadway performance, Hamilton is more than just a filmed stage production. The cast's performances overall (in particular its three Tony winners) are stellar, and seeing them instead of just hearing them as I've been subjected to for the past several years isn't just a revolution; it's a revelation, and one that all should experience.

I really liked Daveed Diggs, but I didn't think Miranda was that good of a singer or actor. Pretty much everything with Hamilton's relationships really dragged the rest of it down and it's also pretty long to be watched in one sitting. That being said, most of the music is great. Jonathon Groff's You'll Be Back was the best, but the female led songs were so chauvinistic, especially Helpless.

I'm not the intended audience for this, mainly because I am not a fan of modern Broadway musicals in general. Every time I see one, it seems to me that character and narrative are sacrificed for spectacle and a wall of songs that favour bombast over melody. I think this is an extremely good idea whose implementation fails to grab me at any point.

Mainly liked it because every song has the feeling of a history teacher trying to make it cool and hip for the kids. Lin-Manuel Miranda walks into a classroom, puts his baseball cap backwards and flips a chair around to sit on it, "Hey gang lets rap".

To be clear, this is not what a stage play looks like. This is theater turned into a movie. Someone forgot to tell this crew that filmed musicals are suppose to look like shit. Steady cams, Arri Alexas, cranes- come on. I was blown away with this on stage and this 4K Atmos outing is its own treat.

It's certainly an incredible bit of writing from Miranda. Some of the rapping is a bit cringey, and the sexual politics do curl the toes every now and then, but overall it's one of the best musicals I've ever seen.

I've been curious about this phenomenon forever, largely because I was torn between thinking it sounded interesting and dreading hearing history lesson rap. The rapping definitely felt cringey to me at times, but the absolute genius behind this whole endeavor still bursts through. I was also just completely blown away by the direction (mainly the stage direction, but also camera direction). This isn't a soundtrack I'm going to buy, but at least I can now get the hype.

For the first half I was fairly sceptical, but after that became totally won over. It took considerable time to get over the odd self casting decision of Miranda, as he doesn't look the part or sing well, and the rapid fire onslaught of tunes and heavy exposition rap with literally no break, and also unsure of the quality of the songs, and that it would be better if there were more songs and less rap, but after all this, by the end I loved it, and am sure live it would be spectacular.

I mean, it's a filmed play. A quite good play, and I say that as someone who normally can't stand musicals, one that takes America's eternal wankery about its founding fathers and turns it on its head, and frequently brilliantly so. But still, it's a filmed play.

A really good musical! I would be lying though if I said I wasn't bored by some of the songs. It is fine though because King George seems to pop up every time it was kind of dragging on, and Jonathan Groff did an amazing job with that role. It's Quiet Uptown and the events prior to that did make me cry. Overall a great musical, but I think it's a teeny tiny bit overrated.

Quite simply, brilliant. I have never watched this live, and I don't dare to assume that this beats it, but it is filmed in such a way that it offers so much depth and insight, that surely you couldn't quite get watching it from the nosebleeds.

This will live or die on your reaction to the source material; after a toe-tapping opening number, it becomes clear that Miranda has limited tools in his tool-box, presenting a dense and confusing score that becomes tiresome and repetitious long before the end of the first act. The "chatter" style works best evoking the patter of politicians, but is unsuited to the intense family drama that makes up the second half. Bonus points for a hilarious Groff, whose demented King George steals the show!

This is propaganda. For those who want to avoid any mention of the fact that egalitarianism has turned into its supposed opposite and enemy yet again (sensu Robespierre) this is a feelgood justification for all of the things that are failing around us. For anyone who prizes freedom of thought over external validation, this is excruciating schizophrenic retardation.

A little too masturbatory for my tastes. If you fancy Americans giving each other a handy, this might be your thing. All that kitsch was a bit much, even for a musical (founding fathers expressed through rap battles and 'sick burns'). Usually you'd expect such over the top portrayal of characters and situations from satire. The stage production and performance is pretty stellar and if you're into rap the music might excite. There's no lack of talent here.
