Review:
Most people who did not like Les Miserables cited the fact that the entire movie was sung. Yes, they sing throughout the whole movie. That is a true musical. So as long as you can get past that aspect of the movie, you'll enjoy it. It was very emotional. The thing that struck me the most was the close-up shots during the very emotional songs. I thought that added to the feeling of the scenes. The story is obviously one of the most popular novels of all time. The musical itself is also known around the world. The movie is very sad, but also has a lot of happy moments. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone (as long as they enjoy musicals). If you don't enjoy musicals, read the book (which is one of the longest novels ever written).
