Les Miserables reviewOn a general basis, I have not been a fan of plays and plays to film of this kind (Includes Cats, Rent, etc.). However, I must say that without watching the play and knowing the plot a little bit, the film Les Miserables‘s change my attitude completely and must give this film a full five star rating as it deserves. A masterpiece!.Score: 5/5

Absolutely Blown Away!I just finished viewing this film and I am absolutely blown away! The film is so well-done in every way with AMAZING performances by an all-star cast! I highly recommend it!.Score: 5/5

This Musical is Amazing!When I first saw this wonderful, inspiring musical, my heart immediately fell in love with Theater movies like this. Everything looked amazing and the actors/actresses voices were so powerful during their solo songs, it makes the movie even more enjoyable and emotional, which is a good thing. And the plot of the movie is great as well! Seeing in the end everyone that died in the battle was beautiful, and I doubt anything could top that. If you’ve ever had that feeling when you get a chill up your spine from seeing a play with the actors singing amazingly, that makes you feel so happy, and that’s how I cried like a thousand times in the movie when the characters were singing very powerfully and emotionally. If there was a rating above five, I’d give it a 100..Score: 5/5

Amazing Movie!The music is phenomenal, the soundtrack and music numbers just make you want to sing along!.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

This was absolutely beautiful.I honestly don’t know how anyone can say anything bad about this movie... Except for those who dislike dialogue that is sung. I absolutely adore the fact that the singing is done live. No auto tune or anything! It is all completely real. While the musical is still better (as expected), the movie still makes you bawl. The casting was perfect. Besides, anyone who rates this badly has no valid reason to dislike it! So, stop talking crap about it if you don’t like musicals. We don’t need to hear it. Don’t watch a musical if you dislike them and ruin the fun for those who do! 😡.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

EmotionalI cried 4 times. Need I say why? Astonishing acting.Score: 5/5

I'm not much a musical person but...THIS MOVIE IS FANTASTIC! Omg this movie is so beautiful. When you start watching it remember to keep an open mind. I will start to all make since. The movie is a bit long and you might want to watch it twice because the first time you think you understand but then you watch it again and it starts making more since. My favorite songs, I Dreamed a Dream, Red and Black, the song where the main characters all sing together (can't remember name) and Can You Hear the People Sing. Hope you like movie! I.Score: 5/5

Absolutely Phenomenal!!!How this movie didn't win the Oscar for Best Picture I will never understand. In my opinion, it is the most powerful story of courage and truth ever portrayed in cinema.

Very touching but a bit too longA very good movie. It has a kind of sadness; but with joyful moments. It could have been a bit shorter. The singing is surprisingly good for actors who are not professionals. In my humble opinion, based on watching lots of movies, this will become a classic. Lots of people will buy that soundtrack after watching the movie..Score: 4/5

AmazingOne of the best movie musicals of all time Great performance from all cast members Amazing songs!!.Score: 5/5

SpectacularIt was beautiful. I loved the solos; the placement of their faces and the complete focus it brought to their amazing proformances. Bravo!.Score: 5/5

Excellent performances all around!..An ambitious film, with excellent performances all around!..Especially by comedian Sacha Baron Cohen! (The man is so funny to watch!) However, I was quite perturbed that nary a word of French was spoken in the movie! (Where's the designated French content? Where's Gérald Depardieu?) The songs were sung entirely in English, nary a "Bonjour," nor a "Au Revoir"!.Score: 4/5

Amazing!!Best movie ever!.Score: 5/5

MoviegoerI love musical movies. Phantom of the Opera, Mamma Mia, but this was by far the best!!.Score: 4/5

The singing...What is Russell Crow doing in this movie? He turned the character of Javert into a farce! No projection of strenght or autority whatsoever in the singing! Was fun to see Colm Wilkinson play the role of the priest... he created the role of Valjean on the stage. I'm glad I didn't spend 20$ to go see this movie in a theater!.Score: 2/5

Victor Hugos Roman "Die Elenden" von 1862 wurde schon unzählige Male verfilmt. Zuletzt errang die mit Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe und Anne Hathaway stargespickte Musical-Adaption von 2012 drei Oscars. 1982 drehte der Regisseur und Schauspieler Robert Hossein neben einer vierstündigen TV-Version auch dieses werkgetreue, aufwendige und anrührende Kinoepos über die Zeit zwischen 1820 und 1840, das in Frankreich ein Kassenhit wurde. Lino Ventura spielt den Galeerensträfling Jean Valjean, der wegen Diebstahls eines Brotes verurteilt wird und sich nach 19 Jahren Zwangsarbeit ein bürgerliches Leben aufbauen will. Doch inmitten der Wirren um die Aufstände von 1832 unternimmt sein alter Widersacher Kommissar Javert (Michel Bouquet) alles, um den großmütigen Valjean wieder hinter Gitter zu bringen. Aufwändige und spektakuläre Verfilmung des französischen Romanklassikers Victor Hugo mit Lino Ventura als dem wohl bekanntesten Darsteller des Jean Valjean!

Français
Ancien forçat, Jean Valjean, change d'identité et devient M. Madeleine. Tandis que l'Inspecteur Javert est toujours à ses trousses, il prend sous son aile la petite Cosette, martyrisée par un couple d'aubergistes, les Thénardier.

Český
Hrdinou Bídníků je Jean Valjean, který byl poslán na galeje pro krádež chleba. Jeho trest, jenž byl navyšován marnými pokusy o útěk, vypršel po devatenácti letech. Snad by mu zbývala jen cesta zločinu, kdyby mu biskup Myriel neukázal správnou cestu. Z Jeana Valjeana se po letech tvrdé práce stává starosta a bohatý muž, který nikdy nezapomněl na svou minulost ani na toho, kdo jeho srdce otevřel lidství a soucitu s ubohými a bídnými.

Український
Франція початку XIX століття. У невеликому містечку Дінь з'являється Жан Вальжан, що відбув на каторзі 19 років. Він знаходить притулок у будинку єпископа Міріеля і вночі краде столове срібло з кухні єпископа. Поліція затримує Вальжана на місці злочину при спробі сховатися. Єпископ пробачає його і напучує Жана з тим, щоб той встав на шлях істинний. Приголомшений вчинком священика, Жан намагається змінити спосіб життя, але довгі роки йому доводиться ховатися від поліції і свого минулого…

Pусский
Жан Вальжан отбыл на каторге 20 лет за кражу корки хлеба, а затем, после встречи с обезоруживающей добротой священника, у которого он крадет подсвечники, посвящает себя и всю свою жизнь творению добра.
