Les Misérables - Extended First Look

I think for a lot of people it is a guilty pleasure, but I say with pride that I totally love and adore musicals. I've loved them since I was little. In my mind Andrew Lloyd Webber is a true genius, but my all time favorite musical is definitely Les Misérables. It might be because that it is the first musical I remember seeing on the big stage (there were also one about Pooh bear and another about the Gingerbread man when I was little, but can't remember them). Anyway, this musical has enchanted me for more than 10 years. I've watched I think more or less every version available on YouTube or anywhere else online. I definitely recommend the 25th anniversary concert show in the O2 arena in London (if I could cut out Joe Jonas as Marius). Anyway, can you imagine my excitement when I found out that it was made into a movie? I think I haven't waited a single movie like that ever. Seriously, never before. And it took a while.
Luckily, the movie did not disappoint. Even after seeing it for the second time tonight. It's a wonderful and amazing production. Of course, there were faults. Some musical numbers would have needed a stronger voice material, but most of the actors are not musical actors from stage and considering they did all the singing live on set, it is magnificent (I'm quite easily pleased, so it just might be that I'm just not too critical, but oh well, it's my opinion). There are just too many numbers that I love. Hugh Jackman's Jean Valjean will take a long time to beat. I think I could continue this post for a long time, but I won't go there. Only thing to add - go and see the movie and enjoy the music! I love it! There might be a third visit to the cinema for the same reason...
