I haven't seen the stage show so I can't comment on how well or not it adapted to the screen, but as a movie, it was merely mediocre. And I say this as someone who grew up on musicals and loves them. I have no doubt that because this is Lin-Manuel Miranda people will rave about it, but I started checking the time before the first hour wasn't even up. It had some nice moments and a talented cast, but all I kept thinking was 'how much longer' & where was the editor...
