saw it last night. could have been better, ALOT better. Russel Crowe was the wrong choice for Javert. He does not have the vocal range. I think most of the cast didn't have the vocal range of Les Mis. I could tell where there had been cuts made. It was clear they cut the beginnings of a few of the songs. And not only didn't 'Do you the people sing" not immediately after "Red and Black" but they put it after "One More Day" wrong, wrong, wwwwwwwrroooonnnnnnnnnggggg!

*sigh* what could have been. *shakes head* what could have been. yet another in the long line of Hollywood f___ups of Broadway classics. *sigh*

AND THEY CUT OUT TOM BOMBADIL!!! OMG RUINED FOREVARR!!1!1!!!!1ONE!!!1!1!1! LOLZ!

I've only seen the stage show once, but I thought they did a pretty good job adapting it. Obviously there's going to be changes in adaptation, and I thought some of them actually suited the story within the film better than in the show.
