Movie Reviews of Les Miserables
Movie Review: What a great movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this movie when I was about 15 years old and right from the beginning it was one of my favorites. I knew about the story of Les Miserables from the book and the Broadway plays. But this adaption is by far the best I've ever seen. The casting is just great. Liam Nesson(ValJean) and Geoffrey Rush(Javert) play the two main characters and they play each part very well. And speaking as a fan of both their acting is at their best. While I have to agree that the movie is somewhat different from the book the beginning part of it is very close to the book. The movie should at least be given a try and watched at least one for any fans of Victor Hugo's novel, Les Miserables or even the fans of the actors.Movie Review: Superb!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hands down one of the best films I have seen in a long time. I kept putting off seeing this, for some reason believing that because it was Les Mis it would be somehow trite. Boy was I TOTALLY mistaken. Liam Neeson and Geoffrey Rush put on stunning performances, the storyline (Victor Hugo) has been adapted to the silver screen masterfully- even better than the Broadway version, and the music, setting, etc. are all brilliantly composed for this incredible saga. If you rent any one film in the upcoming days or weeks, please- do yourself a favour- rent or buy this film on video or DVD- you will not be disappointed. This is a very powerful film, and sinks like an anchor right to the depths of the soul.Movie Review: REVENGE, REMORSE, REDEMPTION: STUFF THAT EPICS ARE MADE OF
Summary: 5 Stars
We'll never quite know how the Academy overlooked this breathtaking masterpiece but it's one of the best adaptations I've seen of Hugo's classic. No easy ask to be riveted to a story one knows so well and has sludged through in both book and theatre form, but this production just has all its ducks in a row. The screenplay that hems in its multi-decade saga is put together with a pacy clip, the set designs of an Hosmanian France are credible, the dialogue is literate, and above all, the acting by the entire crew, particularly Geoffrey Rush, is immaculate. No flowery paeans needed, make place for it in your DVD collection. It's one of those.Movie Review: Great Movie. MOVIE.
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie rocks. If you have not read the book, you will absolutely love it. It should, and will, become one of your favorites. Excellent acting and production based on an excellent story.
Many who have read the book says that it does not match the novel closely enough - Duh. It's a movie. Since when has Hollywood done a good job of adapting books to movies? Personally, as a huge fan of Les Miserables, I still thought it was riveting, and so has everyone I've watched it with. Maybe someday someone will come along and make a 8-hour super-accurate version, but for now, this movie is well worth the money.
Movie Review: Best Movie of the Past 8 Years
Summary: 5 Stars
Best Movie of the Past 8 Years. I have never read the novel, I could care less to read the novel. I base my review purely on it's appeal to me as someone who has never even heard of Les Miserables before renting. There is many more reviews below from their perspective (and most are very worthy of reading). If you have nerver heard of L.M. before now and want honest outsider opinion here it is. If you love movies with heart, morals, time frame settings, ect.. you will love this movie with heart. I have never rated a movie on Amazon before, but one is worth rating. It is my favorite by far of recent times.
