sophieJan 14, 2013I wouldn't say I 'watched' Les Misérables. I kind of just sat in front of it and waited. And waited. And waited.

micaSep 22, 2020ok. this is approximately my 13th rewatch of les mis. almost everyone i respect says the movie is bad. finally starting to accept that maybe my abject affection for it is a glaring critical blindspot. at the same time, it still gives me genuine chills! the 3 song stretch…

sreeJan 12, 2026Generational fumble. Every bit the directorial disaster that Cats was; the only reason this isn't as maligned is because the source material is actually good

anne hatherway i’m convinced just never ages!!
Gizzy likedLes MisérablesNot as good as the original play, that’s for sure. Russel Crowe is not good in this movie, Hugh Jackman could’ve damaged his vocal chords from dehydration, and the director of this movie thought it would be a good idea to record the singing live (he went on to direct Cats).
Noah Julian is "meh" onLes Misérables5.79/10. I’m sorry I really wanted to like this. But there is just too much singing for me. The overall story is great and acting is great too. But there’s only like 10 lines in a 2.5 hour movie that just normal speaking. Broadway shows have less singing than this.
- Sabrina Bondi likedLes Misérables
Despite its faults, the story of "Les Misérables" is timeliness for a reason. There is something special about Claude-Michel Schönberg's music that makes you stand up to attention which makes the film enjoyable in spite of its imperfections.
Nicole lovedLes MisérablesI love this movie. It is so dramatic and sad and interesting. I love musicals and they are basically singing the whole time in this movie. There are so many good actors and singers in this movie.
FalseEef likedLes MisérablesI love musicals, so of course I loved the music in this movie. No where near perfect and Russell Crowe’s voice is something else, man. Dude was a confusing casting choice, that’s for sure.

This is my cousin’s favorite musical
Andrew King lovedLes MisérablesThis one makes me cry it’s one of my fav musicals. If u decide to take it seriously it can be pretty great if u can’t then I guess it’s not for u but it is for me. Great &memorable songs & very memorable performances, themes, and world. Need to watch soon- Lala land may bebetter
Daniel Gil likedLes MisérablesThe songs and cinematography are insane

This steam-driven military weapon of an enterprise is a sobering reminder of just how tinny a musical Les Misérables was in the first place.

Sensitive souls in search of wrenching emotion can be guaranteed their Kleenex moments; you will get wet. But aside from that opening scene, you will not be cinematically edified. This is a bad movie.

Yet for all its expected highs, the adaptation has been managed with more gusto than grace; at the end of the day, this impassioned epic too often topples beneath the weight of its own grandiosity.
