I did see the Les Mis review, I didn't see the Modern Hobbit-- that was a pretty impressive editing job! Wow.
I think we actually DO agree about The Hobbit, I'm just more positive about it overall! -- we agree about which parts are the best and which parts we could have had less of (I would LOVE a Martin-Freeman-scenes-only cut. Obviously. I WANT TO SEE THAT! I just don't MIND the rest). So obviously we're right about which were the best parts, at any rate. I guess Thorin has a lot of fangirls, but I never liked the guy. ;)
Speaking of taste in men, I'll agree that Marius was fantastic-- I don't know what it was about his looks that just didn't appeal to me, it's just a weird personal thing, but the rest-- his singing was definitely superb. I don't know what else he's been in, but I know other people beforehand HAD seen him in other things and were wondering how much talent he really has. Obviously, he does. On the other hand, I wouldn't go as far as to say Russell Crowe did GREAT, he just did better than I thought people gave him credit for!
