Three "critics" are named; which one for which film? It's okay, I'd be embarrassed if I were two of you also. The commentary on "Django..." is first a precis, then an assumption that viewers don't know the difference between violence in Tarantino's imaginative films compared to Other (which ? ) film violence. Query; Is it good?, one of his best, worst? Now, "Les Mis.." review.Again, too thin. Best "loved" or "hate" reviews?From unpaid viewers. WORST view to "West...",only re:event,not film!

I thought the same thing about Les Miserables. While I commend the vocal and acting performances of the actors, whom I believe lived up to roles they had, I felt as though viewers lost sense of Les Miserables' essence. I love the different versions of Les Miserables, the ones on stage and the one done with Liam Neeson in 1998. As a viewer of many different versions, I just felt a little unsatisfied. For viewers who haven't been exposed to it before, they'll like it.
