Les mis review
I always loved les miserables, the musical, especially when our very own Lea Salonga played Eponine. I never watched the musical, though I've always wanted to. I saw the 1998 movie and I liked it, Javert was very hateful in that movie, and I loved how they made it.
Now the new movie has a lot of good elements in it too, graphics and such but it failed to capture my attention, except when Amanda Seyfried started singing, and this is suppposed to be Les Mis, my favorite musical.
Ok so this my opinion and I don't care if you love this movie and want to start an all out les mis shootout hehehe...
Anne Hathaway was just not doing it for me, in the first scene she was too clean, nice and pink, for someone to be working in a sweatshop, when they shaved her head she wasn't appealing enough to be one of the lovely ladies. Did she deserve to win that award? No. I think other actresses who played more expressive roles should have won.
Rusell Crowe with his monotone speak singing was just booooring, he bored me to death.
Hugh Jackman was awesome though, not only because I love him but his face was very expressive.
Amanda Seyfried was the shocker, omg that girl can freaking sing. Wow!
Marius had a nice voice. He was ok
Sasha Baron Cohen was very good as master of the house. He had a good singing voice and was very effective in making you hate him.
Helena Bonham Carter was awesome as the innkeepers wife. Very good singing voice. I loved it when she was playing as a beggar on the street. A very good actress.
