To many unanswered questions. After watching the entire movie I still couldn't figure out which guy was Les.

Not generally a fan of musicals, but this was really special. Amazing acting, settings, costumes. A must see!

Does not do the musical play any justice.

An excellent movie that hits all the right notes. The absolute only minor negative comment I can make that it was (from my perspective only) a bit too long.

I'll see this again, my husband and I were so moved by the end. Amazing movie.

Anne Hathaway stole the movie! She was phenomenal! Weak parts included a particular sound effect for Javier, which made half our row laugh and how mismatched it was. Some actors just didn't fully fit the rolls of their characters. For example, Russel Crowe just didn't have the strength in his voice to carry off the power of Javier. That said, I really enjoyed it and would watch it again! 4 stars.

I am a huge fan of this musical but to be honest I felt that it was way too much singing to be a movie. Looking at other adaptations such as Phantom and Rent, they changed a few parts to be speaking instead of singing-which made more sense for the big screen. Here people just sang and sang and well...it didn't work for me.

I am amazed by the fact that only one or maybe two of the 46 commentators know that Les Miserable is a book written by Victor Hugo and published in 1862. I've read it when I was 14 or 15 and I studied it later in school. But what can one expect in this instant information age when people forget what books are for and become more and more ignorant and proud to be so. So, take note, Les Miserable is not a screen play but a famous book and whatever movies, theatre plays, musicals and crap were all based on it. They all owe their succes to Victor Hugo first, the guy who wrote the book way before movies were invented. And by the way, Victor Hugo is a great classic French writer known to most o

I'd give 10 stars for this if I could. I thought it was perfectly cast and felt that Anne Hathaway was absolutely brilliant. I was thrilled to see that Colm Wilkinson was also included as the kind bishop who gave Jean Valjean that chance to turn his life around when he was caught stealing from the church. For those who might not know...Colm Wilkinson was the original Jean Valjean in both the London and New York broadway productions of Les Mis back in the 80's. A wonderful tip of the hat to a broadway legend! LOVED this movie!

This could have been a 4-5 hour movie, but the director kept the pace and essence of the stage production thus the movie flowed really well. Great singing and acting performances by all, especially HJ,AH,SB and ER. While not great,RC's singing surpassed my expectations. The packed theatre was riveted, mesmorized and emotional. Those who have never seen the musical production for whatever reason have a chance now to see the show on the big screen, with big sound and great scenes. A MUST SEE!!!

Best movie of the year so far. Great live singing by all of the cast.

LOVED it. I'd seen the musical several times and wasn't sure what to expect from the movie. It didn't disappoint. Took my husband and son who also loved the movie. Great cast of characters and great singing. I thought Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe were both excellent. Should definitely be some Oscar nominations/winners in this movie.

The happy ending was a nice bonus!

Eddie Redmayne who played Marius also has an amazing voice, capable of such emotion and range as demonstrated in Empty Chairs and Empty Tables.
December 29, 2012
The negative comments about Russell Crowe are wrong. You really aren't giving much credit to a fabulous director who cast everyone perfectly. Russell's voice perfectly suits the character of Jauvert.
December 29, 2012
Someone thought Anna Kendrick was in this movie? You must have mistaken Samantha Barks as Eponine. She played the part on Broadway. She did a great job with On My Own and A Little Drop of Rain duet with Marius. She was just as good as Anne.

Much, MUCH, better than I expected it to be. I've read the book but never saw the musical, and didn't know the score, so it all took me by surprise. I thought all the performances were terrific. Disagree with others here who thought Crowe was miscast, I thought he was excellent and sang well. Ms Hathaway was, however, stunning. Great movie.

Was overwhelmed by the "I Dreamed A Dream" sung by Ann Hathaway and the over the top acting of both Hathaway and Jackman. I didn't enjoy the singing by Russell Crowe, thought he was out of his depth in this musical.
December 28, 2012
Might have been 5 stars, but I was unfortunate enough to have a very rude theatre patron munching on NACHOS during "I Dreamed a Dream"....totally ruined the experience for me. Please people, show some respect for other theatre goers.

As a fan of the stage musical, I was very excited about the prospects of this movie. I think the end result was very good, but not great. Hathaway was breathtaking, Jackman was excellent and several of the other actors did excellent work. Crowe was miscast and his vocals showed it. Given the task they were given, the production team did an admirable job. I will say, however, that I am firmly on the Hathaway Oscar Bandwagon....
December 28, 2012
What a brilliant musical. Ann Hathaway should win Oscar for her unbelievable portrayal of Fontine - Russell Crowe should NEVER EVER EVER sing in a movie again, and Hugh Jackman, well, what can I say - he's the epitome of what a musical leading man should be.
December 28, 2012
I laughed. cried. sang along.
December 28, 2012
Great movie
December 28, 2012

The best Holiday musical since Alvin and the Chipmunks.

What can I say about this movie. I do not fancy myself a fan of musicals. I saw the play many years ago and truthfully had no idea what was going on. This movie is superb. I am grateful to the makers for taking me on a journey and telling a story that I am honoured to now know. I lauged, I cried. Anne Hathaway was mesmerizing ... as was the entire film. An extra treat was viewing the movie in Ultra AVX!
December 27, 2012
Absolutely a beautiful film, all of their performances were incredible and spotless. It brought tears to my eyes, one can't help it.
