Loved it! I was surprised that they changed it from the musical in many parts, and they did it to agree more with the book! You don't see that sort of thing very often. I wish they had done that a bit more with some of the Fantine scenes, but I'll take what I get.
Hugh Jackman was brilliant, and I loved the touch of having Colm Wilkinson as the bishop. I have to admit that I was disappointed with Russell Crowe as Javert. Not because of his acting (which was excellent), but he just doesn't have the power in his voice that I think Javert needs.
Overall though, it's a keeper.
