For my first movie night of the new year, I went out to see Les Miserables. I have been wanting to see this film ever since it was announced and had planned on seeing it opening night, but life kept getting in the way and delaying my seeing it.
Even though I was super excited to see this movie, I had some doubts once it actually started. I knew that this film was based off the West End musical, but I was not expecting there to be no dialogue at all. At first I really didn't like it. Mostly because I found Russell Crowe's singing voice some what annoying, and I wasn't quite sure about Hugh Jackman's either. But once the story got going, and I got used to the operatic style, I really loved it! Other than the opening scene and some strange cinematography in spots, I have absolutely no complaints.
If you like musicals or are looking for something a little different, I would highly recommend seeing Les Mis. But if you do, bring some tissues...
