Based on the musical drama by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg which is in turn based on the 1862 French novel by Victor Hugo, from the acclaimed director Tom Hooper, comes another Laudatory Masterpiece Les Misérables.
I did not expect much from this movie (though it has a very strong star-cast), as I am not very fond of Musical Dramas, but as the movie started, within few minutes it just caught me and I couldn't move till it ended. Les Misérables is a spell-binding 2.5 hours of musical journey that will take you to the heights of the passion of movie making and there you will see the heart throbbing performance by the ensembles that is truly magical.
This movie will prove to be Jackman's and Hathaway's acting finesse for a long coming years. Its a benchmark of musical drama with some magnificent music, some sharp special effects, applaudable cinematography and above of all spell binding choirs.
If you are bored with regular entertainers, don't read further, just go and utilize your precious 2.5 hours on this movie, and when you will come back, you will know what would have you missed if you wouldn't have seen this one.
My Recommendation: A brilliant musical drama. Even if you are not into musical movies, I will still recommend to watch this one. Because this movie is plethora of beautiful expressions and lovely choirs which will keep you engaged.
Why Should I See?: Jackman's and Hathaway's acting finesse, beautiful expressions and choirs.
Why Should I Not?: Lengthy
Rating: 8/10
