Hugh Jackman, Academy Award® winner Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway star in this critically-acclaimed adaptation of the epic musical phenomenon. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Misérables tells the story of ex-prisoner Jean Valjean (Jackman), hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Crowe), after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine’s (Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever. This enthralling story is a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit and “an unforgettable experience” (Richard Roeper, RichardRoeper.com).
Jean Valjean, a Frenchman imprisoned for stealing bread, must flee a relentless policeman named Javert. The pursuit consumes both men's lives, and soon Valjean finds himself in the midst of the student revolutions in France.

INCREDIBLE!!This musical is beautiful, and heartbreaking, and just all around phenomenal!.Score: 5/5
Beyond all expectations.When I found out that there would be almost no talking, and only singing, I thought I wouldn't like it. In fact, it made the movie so much better. The songs and their performers are stunning and I would recommend this to anyone willing to watch. If there is any debate of whether or not to buy, the answer is define fly yes. (WARNING: music will be stuck in your head for a solid 2 months. But I see no problem with that.).Score: 5/5
This is pretty sad but goodI think I like this movie kind of but the 2 songs My mom told me to skip that are inappropriate, 1 with swearing and 1 with getting drunk and the sad part is a lot of people died in it. I watched it almost 2 months ago on the 17th. I am never buying this. I am only renting it..Score: 3/5
OutstandingI confess, some actors didn’t do a great job. Russel Crowe isn’t a great singer and I expected more from Hugh Jackman, but this film is so amazing. Eddie Redmayne and Anne Hathaway were fabulous. So much emotion in this film. Character depth is great (except maybe for Cosette) and I forgot who plays Enjolras but he is amazing! Awesome. <3.Score: 5/5
A tribute to the musical and novelAs someone who has both read the (unabridged) novel and seen the musical, I can verfy this movie offers a more acturate dipiction of the story while mantaining the musicals' baroque drama. This movie expecially succeeds thanks to its' prestigious cast..Score: 5/5
Buy right now!😍😍😍Absolutely perfect. The music gives you chills. The story is beautiful. An amazing story of struggles back then and the French Revolution. Not just another musical to be looked over people😍.Score: 5/5
One of the worst movies everI think it was hyped and advertised like Blair Witch - another horrid movie. I don’t know how this movie managed to muster such a following. Kudos to the marketing team that pulled it off. I think they realized they had a flop and sensationalized it through some very high-priced masterful psychological advertising campaign. EVERYONE SAYS ITS AMAZING SO IT MUST BE. I’d rather watch the peanut butter solution on repeat for eternity than watch 1 second of this movie ever again. 🤮🤮🤮🤮.Score: 1/5

LOVED ITI loved so much!!! It was beyond compare!!!! I was especially awed at the voices!!!.Score: 5/5
No no say it isn’t soHow can anyone take an iconic musical and turn it into this? Just yuck... the voices are at best only what should be heard in a bathroom when one is singing ALONE. Songs are laboured... some are out of tone..and other way way off key. Really how?.Score: 1/5

ExcellentExcellente comédie musicale.Score: 5/5
LOVE it!!!Definitely one of my favourite movies. The action, emotion, music, and message are all amazing. Didn't know what to expect when I showed up to the theatre, and was blown away. All the actors are not classically trained, which makes it more believable and realistic, and they still did a great job. Absolutely recommended for music and movie lovers of many ages :).Score: 5/5

Stole my heart in London, wanting more from filmI saw this musical live in London when I was eight years old. It completely amazed me. I have since been a huge fan of the musical, enjoying multiple adaptations, including the 25th aniversary concert. This movie doesn't exactly butcher the musical, but it doesn't do it justice either. With seemingly unimportant but noticable changes to lyrics, the absence of moments, and the complete execution of Eponine are some of the things keeping this from a higher rating. Eponine's character, through no fault of the brilliant actress, was completey botched, the writers changing her role in the story and taking away her sympathy. However, there are some redeeming performances, and they do a good job visually creating and exploring the France that we do not have access to on stage. Not awful, but not the best I've seen this particular classic done..Score: 3/5
A grim and dreary experienceThis was a painful experience. The 'sung' dialogue becomes tiresome in minutes. The songs are depressing and poorly sung, especially Russell Crowe. A complete waste of time..Score: 1/5

"Miracle" of Les MiserablesHow does one ruin the great, timeless, fantastic classic Victor Hugo story? Watch this film & find out. I wouldn't have believed it possible, but seeing is believing. It's not just that nobody can sing or they think to emit emotion you need to get louder & YELL the lyrics, but was it edited for the Computer Generation? So choppy I couldn't have followed the plot if I hadn't already known the story so well..Score: 1/5
