The end of that movie was .... argh! Wrongs end of all and not acceptable, that smile on JVJ face,.. nono. They cut something there, I'm sure about it or that is not JVJ.

Merde.. Valjean, t'es un salaud.
Actually I hate this version of Miz.... JVJ is too brute and J also, but it doesn't mean I don't like Javert's actor~~~ Geoffrey is great !!!!!!!!

Well, there are a few things I really don't like of this movie, overall the end... with a jumping happy JVJ walking near the river... ARGH! The real JVJ would, at least, try to save him!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes! I watched this film with my mother, my mother said: why Jvj don't try to save Javert, he can do that! And me, was as: oh gosh... This is not the real end! When Javert jumped in the river, there shouldn't be a Jvj near the river!
BTW, I love Goeffrey's Javert~ even he is so brutal in the movie, like, slap Fantine, abuse Cosette.. Those never happen in the book! [slap the director and the scenarist!!!

Hehehe, yes I agree.

The thing that I hate most of all about Geoffrey Rush's Javert is not his height, nor his lack of mystique, it's... his HUGE FRICKIN NOSE!!! LOOK AT IT!!!! IT'S GIANT AND UGLY AND... AAAAARGH!!!!!
Yeah.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL, you are right, should have put that on the comic too. But without that nose Goeffrey wouldn't be Goeffrey
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But it's just so.... GROSS!!!!
And that is in no way a snub nose, the way his nose is described in the book. And I feel that his muttonchops are unsatisfactory.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm... two huge bushy sideburns... I think Quast is satisfactory on the muttonchops front.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What about Vanel? He has good sideburns too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
As much as I love that adaptation, I'm actually not a fan of lil Charlie's sideburns. They're too perfectly round at the ends. I mean, look! [link]

Hehe..didn't notice so much until now....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but my least favorite Javert is a tie between Charles Laughton (he is an excellent actor, but his face was too fat and did he even HAVE any muttonchops?) and the anime Shoujo Cosette Javert. That... thing looked more like a messed up Thenardier with painted on sideburns.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I give you all the right about Laughton but Shoujo Javert was ok. Perhaps not too according on the style of the other characters (Enjoldras and Co), but I liked him. Well about the end of Shoujo ... no comment
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm just talking about his design. His character was alright, it's just.... everything about his face screams rat, not bulldog/tiger.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's another interpretation
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It was a very strange interpretation. Just like Valjean's apparent lack of a mouth. All he had was a moustache that jiggled up and down when he spoke.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well... JVJ only with moustache, that is something that I don't like.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I mean, having a moustache is fine, but that's just downright lazy animating. It's almost as lazy as the cartoon version of Phantom of the Opera, where they would zero in on eyes as characters spoke or something so they wouldn't have to animate as much.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe.. an animated Phantom?? It's possible that I saw a version years ago but can't remember. Would be cool to find an jp-anime version of the Phantom....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That could probably either be really good, or REALLY bad. I'm leaning toward the latter. They'd probably change the story and characters, and.... crap. Argh. Not something I would look forward to.
And yeah, Emerald City Production released a lot of hour-long cartoons of classic novels, like Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables, in ways that kids could understand. But.... Phantom was just weird. I mean, they did the book deformity (he looked kind of like a monkey) and everything, but Raoul had this weird black Elvis thing going on, the Persian looked like Osama Bin Laden, and Christine was like brunette Cinderella.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah... I hope a good one. They can change things, maybe something like The count of montecristo, I wouldn't mind. They just don't have to be OOC and change too many things.
LOL. Emerald City Production... I only saw pictures, but never get interested in these productions.
Did you read Phantom by Susan Kay ? I love that book.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I love Phantom! My copy was stolen.... So I'm reordering a new one.
"It is the custom."
"FUCK your customs!"
Oh Erik. Your disregard for other cultures is so sexy. xD
Yeah, and Susan Kay stated in the preface that she got a lot of inspiration from the Emerald City cartoon. So I guess it's good for something.

I've just ordered the Maximilian Schell version on eBay. I'm excited to watch it. :3

aww..

Ok! Did you see the Phantom Review on it?

Nope.. will give a look now

D: I love Geoffrey. Everyone has different opinions, and everyone's opinions on what Javert should be is different too I suppose.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He's not short, he's a man of normal height. Liam Neeson is a big damn GIANT!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, but he is to short for Liam!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
XDDDD The head bash moment. I love it. "I love my job!"

Plus - his hat looks really really funny on him.

There is a lot of people who likes Vanel version (me too) and I'm surprised. And you are 100% right whit Geoffrey version, they're gone to far.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think they made both Javert & Valjean too physical in the '98 version. I mean, Valjean BEATS UP Javert. Huh?! And then JV turns to the nun who starts freaking out and he's like, "She repented, didn't she? She made her peace with God."
That was a quick turn-around.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Poor Geoffrey. XD He actually is tall , 6'1'', but Liam is super tall, 6'4'', so it throws everything off. Wah.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So that's Liam fault... indeed in the Pirates film Geoffrey is not so short. Poor Geoffrey!

this is too wild! I am in the library with my friend Dav and our computers and we are attracting too much attention, having fun with your cartoons!! SUPER!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A wild library? Wow... Here you can't say a word (even if there is fire) or you get a lot of accusing looks on you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wouldn't say the library was wild-- just the fun we had looking at your posts! We didn't get in trouble, thank goodness.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh... ok! But i you come in trouble, call the police (you've a friend there, right?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Then it gets even more dangerous!

I agree with VJ, that Javert is not at all what he should be (most importantly he's too short 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's difficult to find a Javert like the one in the book. Tony is similar, but to handsome. (better or all of us) hehe
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah I agree, Tony is awesome as Javert but not quite the same character from the book.
if you haven't already, check out the French 1934 film - it's long, and the Valjean is terrible (IMO) but the Javert is pretty book-like and it's overall one of the more accurate LM films I've seen.
also, it's on youtube: [link]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I agree with you. A wonderful Vanel/Javert except the stick...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, me and my sister had such a good laugh over his stick
not to mention the 12 Javert clones that are always following him around...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There are 12? I never count them, too busy to identify the real one!
