Les miserable this is NOT

Rating: 2/10 (1 December 2018)

Look, I didn't need this to be Les Mis ofcourse I didn't- two completely different stories for a start BUT what I'm trying to say is that the beauty and magic and gut-wrenching emotion of past successful musicals is completely missing from this one.
A musical is a story with musical interludes and this film had the musical interludes but no real story- you know- I didn't care about a single character, least of all Barnham.
Thinking about it, this may have come across better on stage, with real, live performances rather than a whole lot of auto-tune- the songs are ok but they all sound the same, like they are all different sections of the same song; crappy pop-tunes in falsetto- no substance, no 'real' voices like Moulin Rouge for example- at least that was actually Kidman and McGregor's singing voices.
Not great, won't stick in my memory at all- could have been so much more. I will most likely never watch again.
