OVERRATED! There's a reason why a musical has to stay off screens
11 February 2013
I have had a lot of good comments about this movie. May be my expectation is too high and I found this movie very disappointing. I don't think it works as a movie.

The singing was horrible for a few actors. Surely there must be some better actors in signing than ..... what you have got here?! And it is painfully annoying to listen to the actors signing out their lines when they are not even in tune! honestly, cant you just SAY it instead of adding some incorrect melody to how you speak?

The whole story could be told and finished in 5 mins. And more importantly the whole story does not make sense like seriously, a girl meet a boy once and fell in love, wanting to be with him forever?!??! And Javert just gone and kill himself?!?! Waste of my time and pain to my ears! It will work as a musical but as a movie, its STUPID!

The movie was like 2.30 hours long but the whole thing seems rush! I would love to see a lot more of Anne Hathaway. She and Hugh Jackman are the only one I enjoyed watching. And Anne Hathaway is the only person I enjoyed listening to.

Please see this movie!

I was lucky enough to have free tickets for the preview screening. To be honest, if it wasn't for free, this movie would not have been a movie that I would choose to pay to watch. I am 24 and I don't think I would be interested in watching a movie starring with some oldies but I was totally wrong and I am so glad that I had gone to watch this movie. AND I WILL PAY TO WATCH THIS AGAIN!

This movie has a very simple storyline, but this story relates to all of us somehow. Many of us have had loved one(s) passed away and surely the hardship and grievance that Arthur has been through is not new to us. And the troubled relationship between the father and son.

It is this simple story with just good acting. It will make you cry! Not because of sadness but because of love. I don't see many people without a tissue wiping their eyes and noses during the movie. And this is what good movie does to you!

Please go and see this movie. You wont regret it.
