Let's make a mockery of a classic, shall we?
This movie was an awful adaptation of the book. It lacked depth and the merciless slashing of characters was almost humorous. How could they cut out Eponine? Eponine is a truly loved character in the book and the musical, how lacking in vision must you be to cut her out? Painting Marius as the leader of the rebels was completely in defiance of the Victor Hugo character. And Claire Danes was actually more whiny and affected than in any of her previous movies... which is saying a lot.Don't bother with this silliness.
