Every Oscar year, there is just one shoddy nominee.
QUICK OPINION:
Last year showed off
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Gross Close, and somehow
Les Mis was just such a clunker. Right from the get-go, something was off. The opening shot is a long shot, but not every long shot is not a good one. Hugh Jackman is prevalent throughout almost every scene, and I do have to admit his performance was good, but it was inconsistent. To be honest, the whole movie was inconsistent and messy. It nails a tone/mood, but since the songs are intercut throughout the story, diversions between the individual songs/scenes can lead to severe messiness. Forget it, the whole movie is a mess.
BEST PERFORMANCE:
Easy: Anne Hathaway's emotive work was Fantine. The shot was a bit
too tight, but she devastated everyone in the audience. Great stuff.
BEST MOMENT:
I Dreamed a Dream was pretty great.
