"Les Miserables"

[Worf101]

Just spent 2 plus hours enduring "Les Miserables". My eyes are sore from dabbing and crying... my ears are sore from listening to R. Crowe singing!! Actually he wasn't as bad a folks lead me to believe... Not to bad for a man with no range and little voice. Hugh Jackman tore that chit up though. DD Lewis was good but Jackman was better.

I watched this several months ago. I never saw the play and had zero knowledge as to what the storyline was. If I had not watched it with people who saw the play and knew the story, I would still have no clue what it was about. I don't mind a movie with some songs, but when every spoken word is a song, it's anoying. Specially when you can't make out the words or know what's happening.

Jackman did a pretty good job and Crowe was as lifeless and boring as he is in every movie he is in.

3 Hours I will never get back

As soon as it was released I was at the theater. I loved it and it was incredible on the big screen. No not everyone's singing was as good as others but still a great film. The movie was not filmed in Paris but I thought the painted backdrops rather good. Having walked the grounds where the Bastille stood and a monument is now in it's place made it all enjoyable for me. The French struggled many years for their freedom. I thought the movie was a good portrayal of some of the struggles.

Now I want to see it again.

I still haven't seen this movie, but I'll be seeing the play for the fifth time this fall.

I also started reading the book a while ago, but the chapters are so short I decided that it would be a good book to read while I'm in school and only have time to pleasure read in short spurts, so I've put it off for another month. I've read about 1/6 of the book and so far I find it fascinating to see how they took such an intricate story and pulled out the main events to build the play.

My wife made me watch it. Meh. I liked POTO, though.

Crowe was totally unimpressive (Worf nailed it) but Anne Hathaway knocked me out.

For me, Sasha Baron-Choen and Helena Bonham-Carter made this movie watchable. Two points of levity in an otherwise unbearably depressing movie.

I sadly have not seen the musical. I am going to watch and see it the next time the traveling company brings it to Columbus. I have Victor Hugo's book down loaded on my Kindle. I need to start reading.

John, if you have not seen this video you should waste no time ordering it.

It's spectacular!
