CinemaVisitor Erik80 - Good production and the performances by Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman are truly wonderful but I just felt exhausted by the end of it.

Nick Ledgerwood80 - Let me start by saying this: I love this musical. I could (and do) listen to the soundtrack of the stage production over and over again. I was both extremely excited and hesitant when I heard about this movie. However, I think it was pulled off beautifully. Probably the two star performances in my eyes came from Anne Hathaway (a loss for her at the Oscars would be a travesty) and Eddie Redmayne (in my opinion a snub for a nomination, even if he wasn’t a likely candidate for the win). Both of them conveyed an extraordinarily amount of emotion in their voices and, especially for Redmayne, in their faces. You can visibly see the pain they are experiencing. As a fan of the musical, probably the most disappointing performances came from two people I thought would knock them out of the park: Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen as the Thenardiers. These are among the two most popular and well known characters from the play (and possibly all of Broadway), but I found the performances flat vocally and over the top visually. There was none of the subtlety that I was expecting and wanting out of the characters. As I side note, I love Hugh Jackman. I think he is a great actor and did very well in his performance as Jean Valjean. He is in a profoundly difficult category to win this year and, having seen many of the films nominated in the best actor category, he probably doesn’t deserve to win. However, I would love to see him win for one simple reason: this will probably be the only chance he gets.
