Great costumes, sets and music. The actors could've been cast for voices, but that didn't happen. 3 hours is a very long movie, and although some of the songs were memorable the repetition of the major themes is too obvious. Not as good as the stage play.

with 5 friends i watched his movie in the theatre. All off us about halfway through the movie decided it wasn't worth sitting through. It brings a new light to the word miserable.

Oh - my - God! I can only assume \"miserables\" is French for miserables because I was miserable sitting through this abominable movie. My wife hated it also, and that's saying something. I can imagine sitting through a rap version of MacBeth might be easier to stomach.

One would be hard-pressed to describe this, despite the wealth of beauty on display, as anything but an ugly film, shot and cut ineptly. Full Review

Even at a generous running time that matches this season's other giant award candidates, Les Misérables seems like it's in a hurry, skittering from one number to the next without interlude. After Hathaway's early high point, it starts to feel numbing, an unending barrage of musical emoting carrying us through Valjean's adopting of Cosette, the latter's first encounter with Marius, the battle at the barricade and a last hour that can feel like it's a non-stop series of death arias.

For better or worse, though, this adaptation of the mega-hit Broadway musical fits neither description, largely because it lives in that kinda-sorta, okay-not-great, this-worked-that-didn't in-between for which words like "better" and "worse" fall woefully short. Full Review

Les Misérables is sweeping, as would be expected given the scope of the hugely popular stage musical from which it is adapted. But it's also wonderfully intimate, thanks to Tom Hooper's deft direction. Full Review

The tasteless bombardment that is Les Misérables would, under most circumstances, send audiences screaming from the theater, but the film is going to be a monster hit and award winner, and not entirely unjustly. Full Review
