visually, Les Miserables is a splendid spectacle, with set and costume design unparalleled in any 2012 period piece
by James Berardinelli [ReelViews ]
there's no lip-synching here
by Liam Lacey [Globe and Mail ]
the utter lack of modulation - and the near-complete absence of spoken dialogue, just like onstage - makes for pretty wearying viewing as the movie works its way into its third hour
by Lou Lumenick [New York Post ]
the quality of the sound recording is exceptional, too, as crisp as in the best concert films and live album
by Scott Foundas [Village Voice ]
the movie drags itself down
by Michael Phillips [Chicago Tribune ]
panoramic shots of the poor, faces encrusted with sores and grime, begging for pennies from the rich, drive home the desperation of 19th-century France
by Karen D'Souza [San Jose Mercury News ]
overflows with humor, heartbreak, rousing action and ravishing romance. Damn the imperfections, it's perfectly marvelous
by Peter Travers [Rolling Stone ]
fortunately, this sprawling epic is well-anchored. There cannot be a better big-screen showman than Jackman
by Elizabeth Weitzman [New York Daily News ]
aside from that opening scene, you will not be cinematically edified. This is a bad movie
