Default Les Miserables - reviews?

Saw Les Mis on Christmas, first showing. Fabulous. Saw the live musical in 3 different cities incl London and always is tops.
HAD to see the movie as the music is so memorable and dramatic. Not disappointed in the least. Jackman and Hathaway performance is breathtaking and will win Awards. The Direction and filming is spellbinding. Movie is over 2 1/2 hours but feels much less. The closeups and live singing of all songs impacted the experience. Music is heartwrenching. I must say (I'm a 64 yo guy). I wept the last 10 minutes - and I KNOW how it ends...
If you enjoy music and great performances this is for you. I'm going again.
