He kept emotion in his eyes, and his body was like the immovable wall Javert is supposed to be.

It doesn't matter if the emotion's in his eyes. It's got to come out of his voice. It's a musical; close your eyes and you should be able to imagine the face.

And that was my big problem with Crowe. I thought he had a decent enough voice; he just was too wrapped up in singing the notes to actually sing the song.

Except we're not at a stage play. We're at a movie. I'm not going to a movie theater to sit in the dark with my eyes closed. Part of a movie theater is the visual experience, so you can't apply the typical musical theater experience to it. Which is why I enjoyed this version of Javert. I get tired of seeing exaggerated motions and having to rely on voice to the point of I may as well just be listening to a damn soundtrack. That he made Javert into the emotional brick wall I always assumed he was supposed to be on the outside while still having him affected by things inside was amazing to me. It's like he'd read the notes on the Javert of my heart. I mean, shit, the medal scene and his expressions there had me bawling in the middle of a crowded theater.

He got to bring something new to the role, which is amazing since it seems everyone plays Javert almost exactly the fucking same and it got boring after awhile. Yeah, yeah, if it ain't broke, but this girl's first experience was her best friend babbling about the book and how awesome Javert was as a character, so I'm irrationally pissed at the musical for making him an incompetent, angry shell of who he should be, and was thankful the movie took a few pages from the book to make him seem less like a goddamn moron who sucked at his job.
