Director: Tom Hooper
Genre: Drama, Musical, Romance
Beautifully made movie but not for the commercial audience. I recommend to watch the trailor and set expectations first before hitting the theaters
Pluses:
- Hugh Jackman is the man of the movie. It is his story right from the beginning to the end. This man has come a long way, not branded just an action hero but so so much more. He will bring you down to tears by the end of the movie
- The narration of the movie is 100% musical, zero dialogues. People who love Opera would appreciate it much. If not the musical narration, the substance of the movie may not stand out ever. Each and every sentiment could not be described to such depth and detail if it wasnt musical
- Kudos to Tom Hooper, for making such a bold attempt with all the star cast and yet delivering a grand movie to be remembered
- Russel Crowe played a role of very high esteemed loyal of the French police. However negative be his role but his pride and dignity is never compromised for till the end of his role
- Every actor had their own voices giving way to express the emotions. If you do pay attention to it, you will much appreciate all of them :)
- All the other actors viz. Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Helena Bonham Carter, Eddie Redmayne, had comparitively lesser screen space but yet equally important
- The reason that it is musical goes against the commercial viewers. If you cant stand Opera, you can stand the movie, as simple as that.
- The length of the flick should have been contained. 3 hours longevity really hurts. You cannot help but feel sleepy
- The movie can very much be expected to be slowly paced. This is not action, this is all about feeling it. You will require a lot of patience to sit through it :)
My rating: 3.5/5
