I like the original stage musical version of Les Miserable’s, especially the music, but I never thought it was the greatest of all time like some say. In the end it is a flawed piece of art, and can not be said to be over all remarkable. The movie takes the flaws of the original stage musical and multiplies them. On top of the meandering plot the movie adds awful singing and cinematography.
Some of the supporting actors have nice voices (I was surprised by both Anne Hathaway and Amanda Seyfried,) but the two leads are clearly not singers. Russell Crowe is the worst of the lot. Not only is he not good at hitting the notes he can’t seem to infuse any emotion into the words.
Director Tom Hooper clearly does not know the difference between a musical and a movie that has singing …
