Om denne filmen

Hugh Jackman, Academy Award-winner Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway star in this critically-acclaimed adaptation of the epic musical phenomenon. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Misérables tells the story of ex-prisoner Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman), hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Russell Crowe), after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine's (Anne Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever. This enthralling story is a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit and 'an unforgettable experience' (Richard Roeper, RichardRoeper.com).

Thr quality of the cinematography and acting is undeniable. However, the singing is nothing better than mediocre. Few characters in the movie even sing acceptable, let alone good or excellent. There is too much talk singing and "act" singing that the musicality is almost entirely lost at times. Save yourself the time and go to an actual broadway production of this. Shamr on you who gave this 5 stars. Open your ears!

Two and a half hours of singing. I had a feeling that's what it was going to be, but silly me I trusted the trailer. The trailer which showed all of the 3 or 4 whole actual talking scenes. This had to be one of the most atrocious movies I've ever seen, and the singing wasn't even good. The older version with Liam Neeson was awesome. I'll have to rewatch that version to get the effect. A shame, this could have been so good...

These are actors, not singers, most can't sing at all. The actress playing Eponine is one of the only the exceptions. They would have done much better to use Broadway stars instead of Hollywood talent that can't sing. A man dressed as Santa Claus is also in a sex scene, totally unacceptable in my book.
