That was an excellent one.

Lack of good storyline.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

When I'm on the treadmill I always listen to the rousing finale to this...you have Jean Valjeans from 17 countries performing "Do you hear the people sing..." and "One day more" and in their own language. Inspirational and moving.Unfortunately they were missing the Greek, Spanish and Italian Jean Valjeans. How could they miss them? They would have added a continental flavor to the performance.But thankfully they had the Japanese Jean Valjean. The singer later on went to host Top Chef, the original one. It was touching to see Rob Guest as the Australian Jean Valjean. Sadly he died a few years ago.

Having been a big fan of les mis before buying this DVD i knew i'd enjoy it but wow! Tis is the most phenomenal recording of the musical there has ever been. You don't need the full stage production, hearing the music performed by a huge orchestra, choir and undoubtedly the best cast there has ever been is breathtaking. You will laugh, cry and lose yourself in this brilliant show. particular attention should be drawn to colm wilkinson who owns the role of Van Jean and philip quast who's voice is so full of meaning and emotion you can't help but become spellbound.watch it! you haven't lived until you've seen it.

I met Ruthie Henshall in December 2005 after i saw her in Woman In White. Ruthie is the actress who played Fantine in the 10th Anniversary Concert of Les Miserables. I met her, got her autograph, got my picture taken with her and got a shot of me and her together on my video camera....and she is SO nice!!!! Ruthie is an amazing woman who has SO much talent. She is the best actress/singer/dancer in the world, next to Catherine Zeta-Jones!!!! And she's SO pretty.....did anyone see her on Loose Woman in September and when she played Nancy in the celebration of Oliver on Boxing Day???? How good was she!!!! "Now life has KILLED the dream, I dreamed!" - Fantine, Les Miserables.

Les Miserables is inarguably one of the most powerful and philosophically challenging musicals, of all time, we are given a clear insight in to pre-revolutionary France, as a nation and as individuals. We learn of the moral redemption of an individual, Jean Valjean and as a nation as a whole; which is communicated through the exhilarating lyrics, tear jerking ballads and the vivacious anthems of revolt.It is only at the end of the production, that we can see how good will always triumph over evil, and that life may throw these great hardships in our paths, but we, as a nation, as a unity, as human beings will always overcome these difficulties. We have an inspirational message of hope, for when tomorrow comes.
