    The acting/singing with close up camera work showed their awesome talent. I may not ever see a professional quality play but this movie gave me a better alternatve at a fraction of the price. Absolutely the most powerful movie I have ever seen. It took about an hour before I could discuss details with wife without crying. Easily could win Best Picture at Academy Awards.

    LOVED it. I'd seen the musical several times and wasn't sure what to expect from the movie. It didn't disappoint. Took my husband and son who also loved the movie. Great cast of characters and great singing. I thought Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe were both excellent. Should definitely be some Oscar nominations/winners in this movie.

    Eddie Redmayne who played Marius also has an amazing voice, capable of such emotion and range as demonstrated in Empty Chairs and Empty Tables.

    The negative comments about Russell Crowe are wrong. You really aren't giving much credit to a fabulous director who cast everyone perfectly. Russell's voice perfectly suits the character of Jauvert.

    Someone thought Anna Kendrick was in this movie? You must have mistaken Samantha Barks as Eponine. She played the part on Broadway. She did a great job with On My Own and A Little Drop of Rain duet with Marius. She was just as good as Anne.

    Much, MUCH, better than I expected it to be. I've read the book but never saw the musical, and didn't know the score, so it all took me by surprise. I thought all the performances were terrific. Disagree with others here who thought Crowe was miscast, I thought he was excellent and sang well. Ms Hathaway was, however, stunning. Great movie.
