I watched Les Miserables.
I've never seen such a more inept, poorly cast person in a movie ever before than Russell Crowe in this.
He takes a classic, which was being carried and portrayed magnificently by all the other cast, and he drops a large shit right in the middle of it.
Jackman carried this film most of the way, this will go down as one of his greatest acting performances.
Crowe on the other hand has just put in his shittiest performance since Master & Commander, and he will have the most over rated performance ever in a film since his role in Gladiator, where he was clearly outshone by Joaquin Phoenix.
I cheered when he was smacked in the back of the head with a baton and my ears stopped bleeding when the merkin threw himself off a bridge.
Every musical piece that involved Crowe singing with at least one other person showed even further just how shit he was at singing and acting, and it seems the producers realised this and his 'vocals' drowned out in harmonies by people who could actually sing and hold a note, instead of a long winded grunt and groan.
He started out trying to sing in a highishly pitched tone, which he never returned to for the rest of the movie. The role he had was that of the villain, and required a powerful deep and dark voice.
Not some dumb merkin with a shit beard and has the acting prowess of Adam Sandler on a bad day.
f**k you Russell Crowe you merkin!!
otherwise, the movie was great. Sacha Baron Cohen was pretty damn good too!
