Why does everyone always say that Russel crowe ruined the movie of Les Mis??? I don’t get it I’ve seen Les miserables live and I’ve seen the movies loads of times and I don’t get what’s so bad about him lol

thecandlesticksfromlesmis:

cause….compared to the actual musical theatre kids….my boy can’t sing.. crowe can act the hell out of a Javert but dude if you can’t make stars sound like an effortless, almighty lullaby that a man of the law has sung to the midnight sky for a decade?? then like…. you aint Javert…….

but also he did not ruin the les mis movie….I mean ur telling me that one bruised egg ruined the fact that you got to watch those rebel boys build an actual barricade in real time ???? or watch huge jackman CRY to a crucifix for redemption ??  

ur saying that one little not-amazing song RUINED THIS SHOT??

or THIS series of EMOTIONS where my other boy sums up the character of Enjolras IN ONE SHOTTTTTT

OR THAT F U CKING TRANSITION BETWEEN STARS AND 1832??? WHERE WE GO OVER THE C ROSS AND INTO THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY AND AGE WHERE EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT YET NOTHING HAS CHANGEDDDDD

look i grew up with the stage musical and listening to philip quast and i think having a good javert is super important. russel isnt the greatest javert but i’m not gonna let that ruin the face that we got a  f u c k i n g  HQ musical movie where courfeyrac’s name was spoken outloud several timeessss 

i literally could go on and on, but the point is my dude, dont let the haters get you down. like what you like
