Russell Crowe for both

Helana Bonham Carter looks like a man on that poster

Hugh Jackman is a success

Eddie Redmayne is a downfall wherever and whatever he does

That's Russel Crowe you idiot

>implying Empty Chairs and Empty Tables wasn't the best number in this flick

kill yourself

They didn't commit to either singing or talking and did a retarded half/half thing. Only 2 of the actors could even sing.

I guess it looked nice, but I don't see a reason to watch it over the live musical or the movie.

I wish redmayne would go downfall on my penis

>Hugh Jackman
>success

You have to be joking.

If there's one thing the world needs right now, it's another fucking Wolverine movie

Biggest surprise to me was Seyfried, I had no idea she could sing like that.

Biggest plus was probably the scale/sets, which looked great.
Biggest disappointment was the removal/shortening of many tiny tidbit songs that made the musicals so much better. Attack on Rue Plumet, the threatening commander before the attacks on the barricades, stuff like those.


Having Wilkinson as the bishop was a nice touch though.

>Thread about Les Mis and it's actors
>Complaining about a new Wolverine movie

You might be retarded

Wolverine as 42601

>gets fired for refusing to whore
>becomes a whore

Fantine is worthless.

I only saw the suicide scene.
I actually laughed so I guess that's something.

costume and set design was good
the singing was overall mediocre at best

Would it have been better if it was a straight adaptation of the novel instead of a fucking musical?

Young Cosette the best part. I'd take her to my rape dungeon in the clouds.

I found Jackman's voice to be lacking, having said that i believe that as he was acting whilst singing that the emotion in his voice does pull it back somewhat on some of the bigger songs i.e "Who Am I" & "Bring Him Home"

The sound effect at 2:52 for both
