Les Miserables (2012)

Re: Les Miz?

I love musicals for years a couple we know begged is to see it they had so many time. By the last 20 min I was ready to kill the guy I think it was the worst fucken musical ever made. The story made up of several books should be read its wonderful.
 
Re: Les Miz?

I haven't seen it yet, but I wan't to see it SO BADLY! I have to wait till it opens here though, which is next Friday.
 
Re: Les Miz?

i saw it opening week. thought it was pretty good. there were some parts that were a little off because they used live singing, but i feel that it brought more feel to the emotions being portrayed. i also think it was cast decently.

The songs were recorded directly on the set. That means that you are hearing them more or less singing live with all the flaws of a live performance.

It has a Baz Luhrman quality.

In this case though, as I mentioned, we are literally so close into the action and the characters that it isn't really about the singing only, as opposed to the stage version where the singing has to be flawless and 'big'.

I didn't think that anyone was that horrible, including Crowe.

It was a big risk...but from the number of people crying around us..I think it worked.

Ah, but were people crying because of the tender heartbreaking story and high-quality acting OR because they want to kill the actors for singing badly? :p

Then again, I would watch any Hugh Jackman's film :mrgreen: even if the only thing he did in there is just slow-shagging a corpse on a sharp eroded boulder and speaking dirty horrendously

(I want to post Isaac's review, which may or may not be a joke, but my work IP blocks FB --' the only thing I remember very well was Jackman's falsetto is as thick and creamy as his chest hair - and that he sounds like a hamster during high tones :lol:)

The one thing we could not understand is why they had Jackman and a couple of others singing some songs in a higher key than their voices are capable of.

It is a movie after all. You can a do another take.

Jackman doing 'Bring Him Home' was not the best moment of the movie.
 
Re: Les Miz?

A review from Isaac. I couldn't stop rotflmao-ing.

Like oh my gosh you didn't like it? I think you just didn't understand like seriously Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman gave the singing performances of the decade and wow like Amanda Seyfried she totally had the deepest voice out of all the woman like oh my gosh the only person I can say that sucked was Anne Hathawat yah she totally cannot sing but oh my gosh Hugh Jackman's falsetto was so thick and creamy just like his chest hair.

Summary of Les Mis: Unnecessary chest hair, Hugh Jackman sounds like a hamster, Hugh Jackman looks like Mozart, Helena Bonham Carter is the same person in every single movie she does, the best sound that came out of Russel Crowe was the sound of his face hitting the concrete and snapping in half, Amanda Seyfried cannot sing anything higher than an F, that freckled face guy needs to stop crying, everyone else in the theater needs to stop crying, ENJOLRAS !!!!!!!!!! Love, girl from Broadway who played Eponine was aight, and Anne Hathway like woah.

Well... I've never seen a movie that was SO good but SO SO bad at the exact same time. It's a weird feeling. And yeah I get it, it's Hollywood... I'm not asking for amazing singers, but at least make them believable. Every time Russel Crowe opened his mouth I wanted to die and every time Wolverine opened his mouth (in the second half where he had high notes), he sounded like a hamster. I couldn't stop myself from cracking up. And Amanda Seyfried has NO excuses for being so bad.

Also so much unrequited love between Valjean and Javert.

Re: Les Miz?

I've seen most movie versions of recent 'blockbuster' stage musicals (Phantom, Evita, Mamma Mia etc) and I wouldn't give you tuppence for any of them. As for Les Mis, well it is my favourite stage musical of all time, so I was hoping and praying that the movie wouldn't disappoint. And I'm happy to say that I loved every second of it! I agree that Russell Crowe's voice wasn't the best, though I felt that he made a suitably menacing Javert. Amanda Seyfried's voice, too, didn't do a lot for me, though again, she played the part of Cosette very well. Everyone, and everything else about the film was absolutely brilliant, IMO. And yes, I even bawled like a baby in all the right places! !oops!

One other thing, if anyone was contemplating waiting for it to come out on DVD before seeing it at home, then don't! This is a big, big production with breathtaking cinematography that can only be fully appreciated on the big screen.
 
I love musicals... I'm that gay. But I hated this movie. Most of the music was really boring. The acting was good. Some of the singing was pretty awkward. I just wanted to leave. My guy fell asleep at one point. Did NOT enjoy it at all.
