Having seen Les Mis on stage several times and being a big Hugh fan, I was waiting for baited breath for the movie. Movie did not disappoint. I truly believed Russell as Javert. Hugh was good but he is no Colm. Can't wait to see it again (and again).
WOW WOW WOW
Anne Hathaway blew me away! Amazing performances all around; as was expected. Although Take Me Home with Hugh Jackman was a little weak acting was fantastic. Recommended to anyone who loves a great story and a lot of singing.
have never read/seen 'Les Misérables' book/stage musical, but the last Hollywood movie made of it. enjoyed the singing even though i had no expectations of 'pristine trained vocalists' whatsoever, and wouldn't fault the actors for singing/acting out their passions and anguish; in some instances a bit wearisome as the singing looked a bit strained/lost(off). superb 'old era Paris' period visuals; very sombre gritty impoverished and dark. worth the see.
Ann Hathaway did the most incredible job and all in one take with four cameras rolling. Not many times you have the viewers clap after the movie. It isn't for those without emotions or that can't get it. Each singer did as their character was portrayed to do. Russell Crowe was a tormented soul who believed what he did until the end. My wife and I loved it and will see it again.

Fabulous! I was mesmerized. Best movie I've seen in years.
One of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. Some in the audience began clapping at the end of it. Truly worth seeing.
Excellent! Should win the Oscar!
Academy Award performance by Hugh Jackman.......brilliant
