Anyone seen it? I just got back and I have to say it was quite stunning. If you have seen it (or any version of it) what was your favorite scene/song? I have to say I loved Valjean's Soliloquy in this version. Red and Black was also spectacular. Honestly the actors were just perfect for this movie, their voices fit the parts so well.

Amen to that my brother. I cried and laughed and so much more during that movie.

Wish Liam Neeson is in this version as Jean Valjean, like in the 90s adaptation.

I think Hugh Jackman did a wonderful job in this one. I honestly don't know which actor I preferred right now.

I was lucky enough to see the stage version, which was unbelievable. As a huge Les Miserables nerd, I can't wait to see the film.

I Love Lamp. And Ender's Game. Don't tell Lamp.

I got it on DVD (through legal means, I assure you) so my entire family watched it last night. It was a bit too..."singy" for my tastes, but it was a good movie none the less.

dat feeling when you plow a multi-ton covenant war machine.

I would rather see it in a play, but unfortunately the closest one that would be decent is the orpheum in Memphis.

which is quite the distance.

That's a shame. It's a fantastic musical. Unlike other musicals (i.e. Oliver) it isn't overly cheery and the music is excellently done.

not overly cheery is a understatement.


I mean, it has miserable in the title.

Hugh Jackman did an outstanding job in the movie. I personally give it a must watch rating.

Aye. Unlike Oliver (I rip on Oliver a lot given how similar their settings and situations are), the music is very emotional and heart-wrenching. While in Oliver, the starving boys sing in a saccharine and overly cute manner, the characters in Les Miserables sing in such a melancholy manner that you are reduced to tears.

I've read a review from a local columnist and she said it's well...miserable.

Was supposed to see it with some friends today but didn't wake up early enough. Best friend said it was pretty good and that Anne Hathaway looked nice.
