One Quick Word About Les Mis:

[leia131]

I loved it!

Surprisingly, I actually liked/preferred some of the changes they made, and my only real complaint is that the director was clearly not as big of an Eponine fangirl as I am. But I haven't got time to do a full review right now, so look for that later!


P.S. The singing was not as good as it maybe could of been, but no one was dreadul either. Not nearly as bad as Sweeney Todd. :)

That's good to hear! Scottie really wants to see it. :3

I'm glad to hear that it's better than Sweeney Todd, since I enjoyed that movie it's a good sign. hehe

I mean, I kind of liked Sweeney Todd when I saw it, but the more I thought about it the more I didn't like it. I'm too much in love with the stage version, I'm pretty sure that's the problem.

Go see it! It's rather long, but definitely worth it. More thoughts coming tomorrow, I think, since we're kind of having a snow day and I'll have lots of time to type.

I loved Sweeney Todd :P

I've never seen any Les Mis, I would rather see the play or read the book. LOL

I've seen the play, and I've seen the 25th Anniversary Concert about one million times, so I had FEELINGS about this movie, and it was so good! Never read the book... I might like to one day, but the length scares me a little.

Oh, and the thing with Sweeney Todd is that I was so in love with the play, and the recorded stage version I have on DVD, that it was probably doomed with me from the start. (It's me, not Sweeney?)

I am very excited to hear your full report and hopefully discuss it with you soon!
