@CoreyAtad @davidehrlich Don't get me wrong. It's a great song. I'm just worried that everyone's fixated on a first act number.

I saw Les Miserables. Pretty great. I still think I could have played several of those parts quite well. I am aging into it quite nicely.
David Poland @DavidPoland (Ebert Presents, http://www.thehotblog.com)
If while attending the theater, you think "I wish I could see this in close-up with a lot of hyper cutting," we have found the movie for you
David Poland @DavidPoland (Ebert Presents, http://www.thehotblog.com)
I don't blame any of the actors for the failures of Les Mis: The Movie. Tom Hooper made audacious shooting choices.... mostly bad ones
David Poland @DavidPoland (Ebert Presents, http://www.thehotblog.com)
Nothing wrong with Russell Crowe's performance... but script for Javert is 1-note and his voice is built for JC Superstar or Evita, not this
David Poland &@DavidPoland (Ebert Presents, http://www.thehotblog.com)
Hugh Jackman takes the heat for not really having songs so much as having to carry the story. But he's never allowed to soar. He's a soarer
David Poland @DavidPoland (Ebert Presents, http://www.thehotblog.com)
I LOVE SBCohen & HBCarter.... but in Les Mis, they (via TH) take the unreality to a level the makes nearly every moment with them painful.
David Poland @DavidPoland (Ebert Presents, http://www.thehotblog.com)
Honestly, I went in to Les Mis wide open, hopeful... and I found it shocking. Not just not great. Not good.
Chris Cox @bigcox
Woke up thinking about the Les Mis movie. It really is brilliant and beautiful. Any Qs about it? I'll try answer
SarahB1863
@bigcox Re: Les Miz. Does it open with the same powerful notes that the stage version does? If not, how does it open musically? Thanks!
Chris Cox @bigcox
@SarahB1863 Yup sure does, the score is probably 90% the same as the stage show.
C a t h e r i n e @IchBinCati
@bigcox May I ask does Sacha sing with an french accent? Are his vocals bad or brilliant? #LesMis
Chris Cox @bigcox
@IchBinCati yes speaks English sings with a French accent. He is very good
Jake McCollough @DonaldMcFearson
@bigcox How do you rate Russell Crowe's singing ability? Also, what did you think of the changes, for better or worse? #lesmismovie
Chris Cox @bigcox
@DonaldMcFearson he can sing. Doesn't really belt it and I was a bit underwhelmed with stars but he certainly isn't bad
Matthew Lumby @MatthewLumby
@bigcox There was talk of a 'new' song written for the film. Did it make the cut and was it any good?
Chris Cox @bigcox
@MatthewLumby yes it's in there and it's rather nice, it works but isn't overly memorable
Matthew Lumby @MatthewLumby
@bigcox Who sings it? Valjean?
Chris Cox Chris Cox @bigcox
@MatthewLumby yep. It comes after he takes Cosette away
funny fecker @funnyfecker
@bigcox is the singing up to scratch?

@funnyfecker very much so. Not a bad note in there, amazing considering it was all sung live

ruben nepales @nepalesruben (LA journalist)
I dare you not to be touched by Les Miserables. It's a 4-hankie film.
ruben nepales @nepalesruben (LA journalist)
Tom Hooper's decision to make actors sing live in Les Miserables pays off literally and figuratively. There's not one false note in the film

@kristapley @marypols @joannalangfield Maybe not. Great reviews didn't save Dreamgirls anyway.
Kristopher Tapley @kristapley (HitFix)
@AwardsDaily @marypols @joannalangfield Les Mis is better IMO.
Sasha Stone @AwardsDaily (Awards Daily)
@kristapley @marypols @joannalangfield I don't think so. But there is more fan attachment perhaps.
Mary Pols @MaryPols
@AwardsDaily @kristapley @joannalangfield The thrill of it, which I approach at a disconnect, is knowing how wild fans will be for it.
Sasha Stone @AwardsDaily (Awards Daily)
@MaryPols @kristapley @joannalangfield Indeed. It's a movie for the fans.

LES MIS: Hathaway's as devastating as advertised. Rendered me speechless. Wonderful scene. The rest of the movie? Eh, not so much.

@movi_boni I freaking love it! I was just not crying, I was bawling!!!!!!
Marisha Pessl @marishapessl
Hugh Jackman is unbelievable in Les Miz. He makes breaking into song look totally normal. #loveit
Patrick Stoner @patrickstoner
If you love musicals, I’ll keep this simple: Les Mis is a Must #lesmis bfca

Just saw Les Miz. fearless and original. Have never seen a movie like it and can't wait to see it again ASAP

Damn close to a standing O at nyc screening of Les Miz. No Universal, that's not an embargo breaker!

In passing time while on set on Les Miz, Anne Hathaway and Samantha Barks sang songs from Rent. Anne was Joanne, Samantha was Maureen.

Les Mis press screening off to great start. A fight nearly just broke out over seats. These people want their SINGING! Don't f with that!
Chris Cox @bigcox
*beep* In under an hour I will be watching the first UK screening of Les Miserables. I can't remember ever being this excited about a film
Chris Cox @bigcox
@zachbraff I'm just about to see the first screening in London. giddy with excitement. I assume they've added guy love to the score?
Mariel Matero @MarielMatero
RT @dailyactor: Saw Les Mis last night. Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman and Samantha Barks (Epinine) were freakin great. Can't get the songs...
Coty Galloway @CotyGalloway
@chad2271 Absolutely brilliant! I think every one should be nominated. Actor, director, sound, music, etc. Hugh Jackman #oscar
Barrett Foa @BarrettFoa
Les Mis movie was amazing. Like Best Picture amazing. Jackman and Hathaway for President. Wow.
Germain Lussier @GermainLussier (writer, SlashFilm.com)
Mesmerizing, moving & magical, Les Miserables is a musical adaptation worthy of Hollywood history. Thanks Tom Hooper for doing it justice.

@SamsMyth It's gritty and great because it's all these close up long takes of them just singing. So good. GDJayneMovie.

Not surprised to hear mixed Les Mis reactions outside of the theater. It’s all singing, which can be awkward. Looking fwd to alt opinions.

@MattofSteel57 @CheetahHeel I was totally guessing but I think they might have expected Chicago, with some talking. This has like 0.

@Jedwald90 For Hathaway as Supporting, yes. But everything else, nominations but probably no wins. Too different an experience.

Judd Apatow @JuddApatow
I saw Les Miserables. Pretty great. I still think I could have played several of those parts quite well. I am aging into it quite nicely.
David Poland @DavidPoland (Ebert Presents, http://www.thehotblog.com)
If while attending the theater, you think "I wish I could see this in close-up with a lot of hyper cutting," we have found the movie for you
David Poland @DavidPoland (Ebert Presents, http://www.thehotblog.com)
I don't blame any of the actors for the failures of Les Mis: The Movie. Tom Hooper made audacious shooting choices.... mostly bad ones
David Poland @DavidPoland (Ebert Presents, http://www.thehotblog.com)
Nothing wrong with Russell Crowe's performance... but script for Javert is 1-note and his voice is built for JC Superstar or Evita, not this
David Poland &@DavidPoland (Ebert Presents, http://www.thehotblog.com)
Hugh Jackman takes the heat for not really having songs so much as having to carry the story. But he's never allowed to soar. He's a soarer
David Poland @DavidPoland (Ebert Presents, http://www.thehotblog.com)
I LOVE SBCohen & HBCarter.... but in Les Mis, they (via TH) take the unreality to a level the makes nearly every moment with them painful.
David Poland @DavidPoland (Ebert Presents, http://www.thehotblog.com)
Honestly, I went in to Les Mis wide open, hopeful... and I found it shocking. Not just not great. Not good.
Chris Cox @bigcox
Woke up thinking about the Les Mis movie. It really is brilliant and beautiful. Any Qs about it? I'll try answer
SarahB1863
@bigcox Re: Les Miz. Does it open with the same powerful notes that the stage version does? If not, how does it open musically? Thanks!
Chris Cox @bigcox
@SarahB1863 Yup sure does, the score is probably 90% the same as the stage show.
C a t h e r i n e @IchBinCati
@bigcox May I ask does Sacha sing with an french accent? Are his vocals bad or brilliant? #LesMis
Chris Cox @bigcox
@IchBinCati yes speaks English sings with a French accent. He is very good
Jake McCollough @DonaldMcFearson
@bigcox How do you rate Russell Crowe's singing ability? Also, what did you think of the changes, for better or worse? #lesmismovie
Chris Cox @bigcox
@DonaldMcFearson he can sing. Doesn't really belt it and I was a bit underwhelmed with stars but he certainly isn't bad
Matthew Lumby @MatthewLumby
@bigcox There was talk of a 'new' song written for the film. Did it make the cut and was it any good?
Chris Cox @bigcox
@MatthewLumby yes it's in there and it's rather nice, it works but isn't overly memorable
Matthew Lumby @MatthewLumby
@bigcox Who sings it? Valjean?
Chris Cox Chris Cox @bigcox
@MatthewLumby yep. It comes after he takes Cosette away
funny fecker @funnyfecker
@bigcox is the singing up to scratch?
Chris Cox @bigcox
@funnyfecker very much so. Not a bad note in there, amazing considering it was all sung live
Aksa @aksatveit
@bigcox how was Aaron Tveit in the flim?
Chris Cox @bigcox
@aksatveit really very good indeed, he gets a wonderful iconic moment
ruben nepales @nepalesruben (LA journalist)
I dare you not to be touched by Les Miserables. It's a 4-hankie film.
ruben nepales @nepalesruben (LA journalist)
Tom Hooper's decision to make actors sing live in Les Miserables pays off literally and figuratively. There's not one false note in the film
ruben nepales @nepalesruben (LA journalist)
Just saw Les Miserables. It's the best musical film since Chicago. Still recovering from its powerful impact.

After seeing #LesMis last night (can't review yet), it reminded me how awesome @RussellCrowe is as an actor/person! http://twitpic.com/bh90gt

Ricky Lo @therealrickylo
The movie brings the characters much closer to the heart. It moves me to tears as it sould do to those who will see it. #LesMiz
Ricky Lo @therealrickylo
Just done with the preview of Les Miz here in Tokyo. The movie, which runs for 2 hours and 38 minutes, is awesome, spell-binding!
Ricky Lo @therealrickylo
Great ensemble acting. Anne Hathaway gives a memorable performance as Fantine and so does Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean.
Ricky Lo @therealrickylo
The barricade scene in Les Miz gives me goose pimples and the revolution scenes take my breath away.
Ricky Lo @therealrickylo
Les Miz brings the characters much closer to the heart. It moves me to tears as it should do to those who will see it.
@Mr_ComicBook
Les Miserables gets 4.5/5. Beautifully shot, acted, and sung. Just wish Russell Crowe could sing
@Mr_ComicBook
Anne Hathaway is easily the stand out of Les Mis. Just....wow
@Mr_ComicBook
When she sang "I Dreamed a Dream," it sent shivers down my spine
londonlesmis @londonlesmis
@bigcox Cool! When does the radio show air? How was the new song, Suddenly? Does it have the same melody as another song in the musical?

@londonlesmis it's forgettable but holds its own. New melody

Hathaway stops the press conference to log roll for Hugh Jackman: "What he does in this film is inspiring and we were all inspired by him."

Quote from Anne Hathaway "Fantine isn't just in the past, women like her are alive, probable less than a block from here" #LesMiserables

And Anne Hathaway is just the sweetest thing. Heartbreaking statements about modern day sex trafficking #LesMiserables #fantine
