A name that should not be spoken

A travesty too morbid to warrant consideration. A movie too low and pathetic to even deserve mention, and yet the suckage is of such great magnitude that I thought it fitting to create an entire thread dedicated to its chastisement.
I refer, of course, to that principle shame of musicals, Les Misérables.
On a scale of 0 to 5, I have to cheat and rank it the largest negative value I can imagine.
Where to begin? Oh yes, Russell Crowe of course! What were they thinking casting that moron in a singing role? Sure, he is a passable enough actor in movies such as Gladiator, but a singer? Let's just say his last name very accurately describes the sounds that came out of his mouth during his attempts at singing.
Speaking of lines, WTF?! It is as if 5th grader with a rhyming dictionary (and a love of socialism) wrote the songs. The music was completely uninspired, and in an attempt to be artistic, the choice was made to have everyone sing over everyone else so that you couldn't understand anyone.
But the substance was not half as bad as the style. Moments that should have been delivered with heart and passion were boringly mumbled!
The make-up artist and set-designer though committed the greatest crimes of all. The movie ended up looking like a cheap circus act filmed and enhanced with cheap CGI.
The only two people who could sing half-way decently were the adorable 10 year old girl, Isabelle Allen and the smoking hot Samantha Barks. Both gave very solid performances.
Still though, the two highlights of the film were not enough to provide it with saving grace. Nothing can be said about this film that is too low. No wonder the critics loved it...

This is why we have a movie review thread.

I for one loved Les Miz, but I am also a huge fan of the musical so Im pretty biased. Though I was not a huge fan of Crowe's performance.

For God's sake. They are now injecting leftism into our musicals about France in the 19th century?
