Director: Tom Hooper
Running Time: 157 minutes
Review by Tom Clift
It’s captured the hearts of millions. It’s been performed in every
corner of the globe. Now, one of the most beloved stage musicals in
history gets the big screen cinematic treatment in Tom Hooper’s hotly
anticipated, lavishly produced and resoundingly uninteresting adaptation
of Les Misérables. Overstuffed, dreary and dripping with
sickening sentimentality, what starts promisingly soon becomes a
two-and-a-half hour struggle to stay awake, one that also goes to show
that all the stars in Hollywood will do you very little good if you’re
making a musical and most of them can’t really sing.

LOL. it does become laborious very early on. two good performances. but otherwise, kinda messy in parts.
ReplyDeleteYou all very clearly have no appreciation for muscials. If you have ever seen this on broadway it's amazing and seeing the emtions up close on screen was incredible. Don't review a movie when you have no sense of what is fantastic music.
