I just got back from seeing Les Mis. I thought it was dull. The way the movie was filmed was strange. Endless closeups.
All the chicks are raving about it on Facebook. That’s your warning right there.
I’d rather go see Bruce Willis in Looper or Liam Neeson in Taken 2
I just got back from Les Miz and it was sold out all over Asheville. Daughter from Chicago got us ticket reservations over internet. I saw the stage production twice and love the music and story. It was extremely well done. Although the Hollywood singers don’t do justice to the more operatic voices of the stage production, the acting more than made up for the less operatic voices. Jean ValJean played by Hugh Jackman is Oscar nomintaion worth. His voice was fine and made up royally with the acting. I finally put the whole story better together with the movie-stunning photography-you could hear a pin drop throughout the full house theater and a clapping ovation at the end of the film. I want to see it again. Also saw Life of Pi-wonderful ,thought provoking story and Hitchcock-wonderful also. Must see all of them and i see few movies.
Endless Close-ups in a musical is not good.
You can see the mechanics of the vocals, and uvulae are not that attractive.
I refuse to see Django. Period.
