    I think from now on all films should be made up just of singing. In fact, unless Osama Bin Laden bursts in to chorus when I go to see Zero Dark Thirty then I'm asking for a refund

    I want to see it as well.

    We're down in Landan this week, was thinking of seeing the 'proper' version.

    I took some dogs abuse when the soundtrack appeared on my Spotify feed.

    I 've seen the stage production too. Loved it. My mum was well in to it when I was a kid, reckon I know every word

    Was forced to go and see it with the Mrs and was bored to tears. Fortunately, so was she and we walked out half way through (Even though she loves musicals)

    Given the bloody IMAX cost 26 quid for two I would have stayed and watched it all if it had been a Wath Comp production.

    What's not to like, its like a 19th century French miners strike with singing

    Tbf the second half is a whole lot better than the first. Each to their own though.

    I agree that Russell Crowe was dodgy. Some of Huge Valjean's notes were nasally weedy an all. For the emotions though it was alarmingly tear inducing for a long standing Glum worshipper such as I.

    Judging by the early reviews it's dogger. Shame.
