This just isn't for me. I can appreciate the hard work that went into the costumes and sets, the choreography, and the singing (excluding the TERRIBLE dubbing for Oliver himself). It's all well done. But musicals are the movie genre with the hardest uphill climb to impress me, and this one ticks most of the boxes of tropes to the genre that annoy me and break immersion. Couple that with the tired "misadventures of an orphan" framework that I have yet to enjoy in any movie, and Oliver! is a movie designed for the opposite of me. I didn't hate the experience, but at no point did I enjoy it.
