Les Misérables

[chronovore]

Hugh Jackman is very good, the kid playing Marius is perfect, and Russell Crowe's dull, crawling voice more or less ruins Javert's songs, but is otherwise good in the role. He can act, he just can't sing well enough for the part. Amanda Seyfried is beautiful, and sings surprisingly well. The woman playing Eponine is more to my taste, and a better singer. Movie was great; I'll see it a few more times. For some reason, it felt like the audio was only coming from the front, no side or rear action -- I can't tell if the theater's speakers were malfunctioning, or if it was some weird artistic choice.
