    Take a Bow Andrew Garfield!!
    Tick, Tick... Boom! (also stylized as tick, tick... BOOM!) is a biographical musical film directed by Lin-Manuel Miranda. The film stars Andrew Garfield, Robin de Jesús, Alexandra Shipp, Joshua Henry, Judith Light, and Vanessa Hudgens.

    Based on the autobiographical musical by playwright Jonathan Larson. It's the story of an aspiring composer in New York City who is worried he made the wrong career choice, whilst navigating the pressures of love and friendship.

    The film should be best remembered for the awesome acting by Garfield, atleast i'll appreciate this film for Garfield only, it's always difficult to work in any biographical film as the viewers will relate you with the characters himself and might be prejudiced but in this case Garfield was absolutely spot on.

    Screenplay of the film i felt was average as the film gets too slow in between and could've been trimmed. Cinematography is good and climax is also good.

    For me the film wasn't that great but it's only and only Andrew Garfield due to which i'll be giving some positive reviews for the film.

    Brilliant Creative Arts Musical Biopic
    I enjoy watching biopics. They are so informative and inspirational. I am also a writer. This was a great biopic to watch. The outline of the storyline was fine and terrific. I understand and can relate to the story. I also live a difficult life. I was born with a really rare syndrome that not many people know about. The cast selection wa great. Andrew Garfield really went to the full limit to bring out the character. He did a splendid job. The music that is in this biopic is outstanding. There were some parts that I was not a fan of. Miranda could have created this biopic better. There was room for improvement. This is still a tremendous biopic for all viewers to watch and enjoy.

    ANDREW GARFIELD,WHY WERE YOU HIDING YOU SINGING TALENT?
    Before you go all like "I don't watch musical blah,blah,blah."You should know that Andrew Garfield won an Oscar for best performance by an actor in a leading role,ahhh by playing as Jonathan larson .If your dont know who is that more reasons for you to watch this movie.

    What make sthis movie so great is that it's a True story of Jonathan and Andrew Garfield does a great job of bring this character to life.

    Why anyone will say they didn't enjoy this movie is beyond me.

    It has a little bit of everything comedy romance,musical, obviously and some emotional scencew and the actors do a great job of giving you all of this to us,the Audiences

    I just can't stop myself from replaying this songs am not sure whether it's Andrew who does it or may be is Alexandra Shipp or is it Vanessa hudgen,who has also been feature on numerous musical and showed us why she couldn't miss out on this one

    Everything was just right from the dances,song,istrument the songs. I really enjoyed myself on this one.

    Give it a chance promise it won't disappoint.

    Andrew Garfield can do no wrong!
    Tick Tick Boom is based on American theatrical artist Jonathan Larson. I had no idea about him or any of his music and decided to watch this movies solely for Garfield but heck it's a great musical film.

    Most of the songs have great depth and meaning and are great to listen too which even made me shed a tear, going by that I feel Jon was quite a visionary. His 'Superbia' which was not fully produced and which is what is shown in this film revolved around a real futuristic idea too.

    I'm sure gonna put a few of his songs on my playlist now!!!

    Creative Journey painted with artistic authenticity
    I will start by saying that I personally don't know much about music so I can't speak critically about the songs other than I liked them. What I can speak to is the storytelling. The story is delivered to you through the musical performance and flashback sequences. This narrative device both works and is engaging.

    The story itself is pretty dope. Jonathan Larson's life is consumed with his musical. How much should you sacrifice for art? And can you be an artist without being self absorbed? It's hard being an artist with a dream. His talent seems so apparent because of Rent, but before his life was filled with uncertainty and stress.

    We see his turbulent state and we experience it with him. Even though you know how his story ends you are still deeply invested in his story.

    Also Andrew Garfield's performance is truly worthy of the Oscar nom he received. He can sing!
