re: Anne Hathaway does a good cover song, therefor is front runner for Oscar?

I thought Crowe was fine after the beginning. I thought Jackman's voice was worse. I actually think Crowe's acting was good; I think he captured what you're supposed to think of Javert.

I didn't like Eddie Redmayne's (Marius) voice. I know he was lovestruck but he came off way too weak, IMO.

I enjoyed Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter.

The kid playing Gavroche was very, very good IMO.

Samantha Barks was incredible.

I hated Amanda Seyfried.
