Les Misérables

Just watch the stage musical instead. A musical that values realism over music does not understand musicals. The actors sound like they're forced to sing at gun point.

It's just fantastic the acting throughout the signing performance are just sublime ,Ann H performances was stunning

A great musical film with fantastic performances.

Les misrables is an undoubtly greatly directed film, with some memorable songs and a top tier cast, remarked by Anne Hatteway incrdible performance. This is the kind of movie that should be watched on a cinema, epic as a few.

Love this movie so much! I watched it in the theater and on TV—one of the best I’ve ever seen. The emotional impact is beyond words. I’ve listened to the soundtrack countless times over the years. What an unforgettable emotional journey for me!

Why cast people who can't sing in a musical? The quality of the singing is poor compared to stage performances. Powerful notes are bottled or weak. Better to watch one of the anniversary performances.

Filme horrível, o roteiro é horrível, o filme muito musical com opera, as cenas são ruins, o que dá relevância ao filme, são as atuações da Anne hathaway e do hugh jackman, o filme mostra como foi a revolução francesa em forma de musical com opera vai se fude, eu não recomendo esse filme, perca de tempo do caralho.

A very uneven film that sways between emotionally powerful and grand sweeping with its musical numbers, and messy disorienting editing & cinematography with oddly monotone singing as well. A consequence of its ambitious, but rocky decision to shoot the musical performances all live (at the cost of forcing the orchestra to play for 8 hours in a row), cinematography and direction be damned. But the highs are good enough to make up for the lows. Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway give it their all. Eddie Redmayne and Amadna Seyfried are both solid. Russell Crowe is clearly trying, but is unintentionally hilarious with his awkward body language and monotone singing. Sacha Bara Cohen, Helena Bonham Carter, and the unfittingly cockney kid are all annoying. It’s a very uneven movie, but with enough sincerity and talent to make it worth a watch.

I'd say it's BARELY good enough to be called good. It's a interesting idea but it's got a very bloated feel to the whole thing. This story is already avgiant tot ry to adapt to a movie and adding songs into it is a monumental undertaking. The fact it works is a borderline miracle because it is far from perfect. The editing isn't bad but man it can feel unfocused at times. This feels like a epic revolutionary story being mixed with a musical and works better in certain places than others witht he storytelling. Add on the fact we get multiple new characters in the middle and the main 3 from the first hour disappear for the middle and it just feels a bit much at times and the new characters are just alright. Everything else though is solid. The singing is pretty good I'd say. Crowe is very hit or miss and when he misses it's very noticeable. Hathaway is really good and the best thing in this. Her Dream song is amazing and the best part of the film. It's a shame it comes so early and if all the music was like this, man it would've been incredible possibly. Jackman is good and pretty much everyone else is solid with singing save for Carter and some of the stuff in the middle. The production value is solid and the direction isn't bad. Sometimes the framing feels off for some reason and I'm not sure why that was done. the battle sceens are good. My biggest problem with it is there is so much singing at times that it can be a bit hard to absorb what there actually saying at times. It's visually heavy and the story does make sense. But the first hour setting up the main two and Hathaway feels like it's own film almost tacked on to a revolution epic. It's still unique and I appreciated what they were trying here and I think it does work and make this adaptation stand out in the field of dozens of these. It's still an acquired taste. If your someone who doesn't like musicals I can't see you liking this save for if your a fan of any actors in this, the director, or musicals or the source material.

Cinematography was the only saving grace for this film. If you're not a fan of on screen musicals avoid for your own sanity.
