Eponine: I love him, but every day I'm learning. All my life, I've only been pretending. Without me, his world will go on turning--a world that's full of happiness that I have never known.
It wasn't as nearly as thrilling as the first one. The ending was a bit corny (as were some other parts too); I sat there thinking "really??" But it was entertaining and at least this movie didn't feel like it was dragging on. It actually felt short.
An average film that I only watched because in was on a free movie channel. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't anything amazing. Michelle Williams' performance was definitely the highlight of this movie; she really seemed to become Marilyn.
I was really excited to see this one. I wasn't disappointed, but the more I think about it, the worse it seems to become. I didn't think Russell Crowe was as bad as everyone seems to make him out to be. I really wasn't clinching at any of the performances. However, this movie is just another movie remake of this musical as there will be many more in the years to come. There was nothing special about this film remake; this certainly won't be THE Les Mis movie.I felt as though they jammed all the songs they could in the film in an attempt to fit as many as the musical numbers as they possibly could. In my opinion, they should have focused a little more on the character development, which seemed rushed and sometimes simply not there, rather than stuffing lengthy songs after songs--this is an adaption after all and really could have gone any direction. The changes they did make (such as Eponine not delivering a letter, which hurt her little part that she did receive in this film) were strange.In short, it was a rushed (in terms of plot, otherwise it was rather long due to the song performances) sung-through film with a moving cast.
