Verdict: Is this just for musical lovers?
LES Miserables stars Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen.
This musical is directed by Tom Hooper, who directed The King's Speech.
This movie is about 95% singing... I am not exagerating.
The acting in this film is sensational. Hugh Jackman has his Oscar guaranteed.
Anne Hathaway wan't really in the film for that long, but she gives a promising performance.
When she sang I Dreamed A Dream it was beautiful, and my face just lit up.
Anne Hathaway is a really good actress and she has come so far, she delivers very well in this film.
The directing by Tom Hooper is really great.
He does a great job of bringing emotion to the story and to the characcters.
The film is written well, but at times it can feel cheap and at times annoying, but it it extremely rare.
The writers do a great job at developing the characters.
The singing is really, really, really, really, really, really great!
It just sounds so good, and the score is exceptional.
Russell Crowe is good at singing, but at times it felt as if he was struggling to hit some notes.
Hugh Jackman has done some theater work before, so he does a great job of singing his character to life.
Overall Les Miserables is really big on the singing, but it doesn't mean people who don't like musicals shouldn't give it a go.
