I would actually venture that Russell Crowe did a better job on Stars than Jackman did in Bring Him Home.
Let the flaming begin!!
Also, can someone explain why can't I vote on this poll?
Finally saw it. Great film, the cinematography was excellent. Certainly will be a best picture nominee. I think it's passed the successful musical film adaptation test, as it's already made more than Phantom and Sweeney Todd.
My only complaint, is I don't like when directors decide in musicals to have people bawl and sob while they are singing, I think it ruins the melodies.
Other than that just a brilliant production.
10/10
Indeed. It was simply an amazing, show stealing moment of film. I was sitting back in my chair with my eyes wide open taking it all in. I've seen Anne call the performance 'eh' in an interview after twenty takes, but she's being extremely modest. John Lennon wasn't satisfied with Beatles songs upon reflection and as well. I liked the movie. It was an emotional one that's for sure.In this film version, Anne's 'I Dreamed a Dream" was such a splendid high point for me that I think the movie peaked a little too early, never quite regaining the sheer power and emotion that was displayed in that scene.
I wish they never made that film version of Phantom. Kills me.
A Phantom film with live singing as it was done in Les Miz, directed by someone more capable than Joel Schumacher, and starring a classically trained actor as the Phantom would most likely amount to one of (if not the) best film musicals of all time.

Okay now I kind of want to see The Phantom...
The Phantom movie would have been fine if not for Gerard Butler (and Minnie Driver to a lesser extent). That one casting decision completed ****** the entire film.
