Title: Les Miz fans beware
Product review: I was extremely disappointed by this adaptation of the book. Having read the book and seen the musical, I was unable to watch the movie as a uninfluenced obserever and so I was very upset by what they chose to include and leave out from the book. I have yet to see an adaptation of this book that is worthy of what Victor Hugo wrote. They turn a story full of intricate connections and wonderful character development into what Hollywood is famous for, romance and a little action. Marius bares little resemblance to the character that Hugo formed, neither does Cosette. And where was Eponine? As a book and as a musical, this story moves me, as a movie, it was a giant flop.If you are a fan of the book, stay away from the movie. If you watched this movie as though it was the book, you are far off the mark.
