Les Miserables

Ground-breaking musical transformed into something suitable for the big screen. Thought Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe were excellent. Wished to see more of Anne Hathaway though.

It was not your average movie and was very different to watching a conventional movie as 99.5% of the dialogue was in poetry and sung live by the actors.

Indeed it was very emotional at times. For me, the ending in particular. My only criticism was that it dragged out a little too long. Would have been perfect minus half an hour.

A solid movie, but I am not convinced it deserved to get 12 Oscar Nominations - we shall just have to wait and see.
