Jackman as Valjean and Crowe as Javert totally ruin this film for me. They are simply not up to par vocally compared to any traveling show I've seen. And this is a musical, for crying out loud, so if your can't sing the part with conviction, it's just not going to work. Valjean bonus song in the carriage with Cosette is unlistenable as is any scene with Javert. The rest of the cast is passable.
Overall, the cinematography is disturbingly dark (I get it, they are miserable after all), but the handheld cameras And constant closeup shots don't help.
I love LES MISÉRABLES-it's my favorite all time musical-but this film hurts me and makes me want to cry.
