I loved the play, loved the book, and got around to seeing the film made recently. Liam Neeson is excelent. In fact, the cast, locations and overall production are great. But the story gets warped about midway through with the introduction of Marius. And in the end Jean Valjean is still alive.  
Sacre bleu that pissed me off. I wish the whole movie had sucked.

Haven’t seen the film, but I’ll look for it. From looking on the [IMDb](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0119683), it doesn’t appear to be an adaptation of the musical (which disappoints me). I only hope I can manage to purge _Quills_ from my head first. All I need is cognitive dissonance causing me to get Javert and DeSade confused…

“Sucked”? Fellation being repellent?
