Les Misérables

[Eric]

No thread for this?

Seen the movie today, it was amazing. Cast was great, all big name stars in it, Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter and so forth, all sang very well, their acting were amazing no doubt, Anne in particular, her emotions were remarkable. Hardly any dialouge in the movie, all singing and melodic phrases, a tad long but overall it's great and probably the best film of 2012

[lawrawrrr]

I haven't seen it because I'm not particularly interested in the story but I heard Anne's singing before the movie was released - it moved me to tears, so emotional and I wasn't expecting her to be able to sing like that. Incredible! It's mad to think that these actors and actresses can sing so well, I've seen bits of the stage version and heard the actors and they're actually quite comparable. Will probably get it on DVD when it comes out!

I don't think it will be something I'll go to the cinema and watch but due to a friend linking me to video clips, music and whatever else that was from one of the stage shows. Then I would probably watch it when it comes out on DVD or something.

[the.games]

I actually really can't wait to see this film. The music is fantastic and the storyline is too. Seen the DVD of the show but I think the film will be even better! :D

[Martin]

oo I would love to see this! :D I love the music from les mis! :D

Actually cannot wait to go and see this, I love Anne Hathaway. Looks like an amazing movie and the cast is brilliant. Is it true they all had to audition for this film, or was it just a lie my friend told me? :(

[RyRy]

Saw the trailer, gonna go see it when I can as I loooooooooooooooooooooooooooved the theatre production and I will probably break down in the movies if I watch this one too haha

[Eric]

Yeah everyone auditioned for the movie, Taylor Swift and Lea Michele auditioned for the role of Eponine, both didn't get it, tbh Taylor would have ruined the film if she did get the part

Surprised Lea Michele didn't get in really, I think she's really talented.

Only going to watch it because of Samantha Barks. I've been a fan of hers for ages now.

[Strega]

hmm im not really into musicals
it is getting alot of hype though
i think one day if im really bored i might watch it

[Tom]

There is quite a massive hype among the people I am usually around (musical geeks ND WOT). Not gonna lie, as much as I love musicals, I couldn't give two monkeys. I've never really got Les Mis, but I'll probably end up being dragged to watch it anyway.

[Sho]

I really want to watch this, can't wait until I get my wages so I can go

I saw the stage show in November because I wanted to see that before the film, as i thought the film would be better and didn't want to be disappointed by the west end show. I was not disappointed. Amazing. I knew the story, unlike a couple of my friends I went with, and we were all moved to tears despite knowing what was coming.

If Anne Hathaway doesn't win an Oscar to go with her Golden Globe she will have been robbed unfairly. She was the stand out performance and was only a supporting actress.

Will probably see it again in the cinema haha.

Also one note, if you don't have a clue about the French revolutions I would have a read up on the basic history or read a specific history of Les Mis because if you don't know who the school boys and army are or the situation in France then you may get a bit lost.

Ok les mis nerd coming through... (no joke I can recite the whole musical word to word)
saw it on sunday freaking cried through the whole thing. the cast was fantastic and they made such a good job of it. Anne and Samantha (my god though can her stomach be any smaller!??!!!) were just breathtaking.

I'm already planning to see it again ahhhhhhhh beyond excited.

They were saying Anne Hathaway should really be winning the Oscar, primarily because of her singing on something I watched. I love Anne Hathaway so I do hope she wins an Oscar, would be an awful shame if she didn't. Had to wait a while until I saw it as my friend is going for her birthday, so I'll be going on Friday (providing it doesn't snow loads ;||||) and I can't wait. :-)

Oh god, went and watched it tonight, it's fair to say I was a complete wreck. Such a great film. The deaths and near deaths had me crying throughout, but it was the ending that absolutely destroyed me, my friends were laughing so hard at how bad I was. The ending was really, hmm.. powerful. Great movie, I can't wait until it's out on DVD.

Also, Anne Hathaway....

Haven't heard of anyone who has been disappointed yet. It was incredible and i'm going to go again before it leaves the cinema. It's too good!

Oh, I have. My two friends at school were so disappointed with it, but I honestly can't see how. I think they were expecting flawless singing and things.

Watched it opening night I loved it! People were criticising Russel Crowe's and Hugh Jackman's voices but they sounded fine to me. I would listen to the broadway soundtrack instead of the movie one but the acting was incredible. Samantha Burke was amazing and I loved the little boy who played Gavroche. I've read the book and I was hoping they would make a reference to the fact that.... *Spoiler kind of*
Eponine and Gavroche were siblings as when Eponine dies they pan out and Gavroche is crying in the corner but if you didn't know it wouldn't have the same impact


But thats just my opinion. Anne deserves that Oscar!

[lawrawrrr]

I'm finally going to see it this week! So excited :D

[Sho]

Wooo I finally watched this last night and loved it :D

[Martin]

[Tomdorama]

Loved the film! It was different to the original musical but it was changed so it would fit being in the cinema and I think it worked really well.

[Typoh]

this was filmed close to where I work (foot steps) met the actors and was really wanting to see this but not had chance. will have to got round to it as obviously it was great ^^. defiantly got to put on my to-do list.
