See I don't find him attractive so I didn't really notice that aspect.

It was ironic, iconic, and bubonic.

Don't forget "histrionic".

A performance sardonic, neurotic, and moronic on a medium electronic and stereophonic.

3 Oscars out of 8 nominations, 3 Golden Globes, 4 BAFTAS, a slew of other honors and a gross of half a billion. Yeah, it was dreadful. I thought Hathaway was terrific but it's too soon to call it iconic. That term implies time having gone by.

Awards don't mean anything, and they have nothing to do with the general public liking it.
Put me in the camp that hated it.

I thought she (over)acted the HELL out of that role. Just look at the last second of her screen time in the finale and that's all the proof you need.

She's a famous movie star and she gave a perfectly fine performance. Or translated into the inflationary language of 21st Century entertainment: iconic!

I cry when a drag queen sings "Tomorrow," yet sat dry-eyed through her performance. I blamed the over-hyped trailer, which used a different, less over-the-top take. After seeing snippits of it with flickering candles behind her obligatory I-lost-half-my-body-weight cadaverous face, I had nothing to discover. She wasn't Fantine, she was Fantine-NESS. She turned a character's suffering into its own state of being. What could I feel, when she was feeling the pain of all who observed her? The song should've been one of the best-kept secrets in the film; instead, it became The Brand. She had to win the Oscar, or the brand failed. We were told to pay attention, told to never forget the performance, and finally told "look away from the Oscar ceremony If You Dare." The whole damn thing wore out its welcome.

Sadly, they knew her scene was the money shot and they pimped the hell out of her and the scene and drove it into the ground (thus the Anne-hate come award season.) She is the best part of the film and her performance was stellar. I should have left after she died.
Overall, hated the film. Then again, I hate the WSS film too. I think its a turd with a diamond of a performance by Rita.

If Catherine Zeta Jones in CHICAGO is the gold standard, then (a) obviously somebody never saw Chita Rivera, Bebe Neuwirth or even Lenora Nemetz in the part; and (b) Anne Hathaway in LES MIZ is PLATINUM!
But by any reasonable standard, Hathaway was just okay.

She offered a decent performance, but overall the movie was pretty bad. Her singing certainly would never make it on Broadway.
Did she change the role or provide an "iconic" performance? Not even close. I don't even think she's the best performance of Fantine.

I personally preferred almost everything about the movie to the recent Broadway revival.
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.
