The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Les Mis had the potential to be a great movie. After seeing the live play, I was looking forward to a version that could include the photos and background for an actual French Revolution. However.....Whoever created the cast should be FIRED! They picked some of THE WORST SINGERS in Hollywood and made them sing LIVE in the film! I couldn't watch it for more than 5 minutes because Hugh Jackman and Russel Crowe were so AWFUL! For a movie/play that does nothing but SING, I thought they would put their voices over their acting skills. Samantha Barks did great but that was it. Anne Hathaway was a great.....crier. If you want to see a GOOD Les Mis, go onto Youtube or iTunes and rent the 25th or 10th Anniversary Concerts of the play. Those are the type of people that should have been picked. If someone in charge can't find a famous celebrity with a good voice....search for someone NEW!

The cast, the story, the songs, the locations, everything about this movie is perfect, the story of it is laid out so well that you will emotionally connect to every scene you watch, If it's a happy scene you will jump for joy, if it's a sad scene you will cry tears. Every location is so well made that they represent the characters feelings and tells a lot about the people during the French Revolution. When i first saw this movie and from then on this movie has been crowned as my favourite movie of all time.

That what i got to say. When i was watching this film in my favorite year of my life so far 2017, i thought what i watching is not film, i can say it's a wonderful artistic painting. thank to that man who's directing this film, and all cast and crew, Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean, Russell Crowe as Javert, and Anne Hathaway as Fantine. I thank Everybody who take this film as i watched.

"Les Miserables" is the first musical I have ever seen. At first, I found it difficult to follow the plot,given that I was not used to musicals. But after the first scenes, I appreciated and got used to the songs and music, I also watched more times some scenes to listen to the music again. The character voices were also really enjoyable.A really good musical indeed!
