What is this film?

Step 1: Some people go to a winter-sport location. Step 2: They talk about the stunts they are gonna do there. Step 3: They do said stuns. Step 4: Repeat.

This is THE ENTIRE FILM!!! After the first three-ish times it gets incredibly stale and repetitive. The only thing keeping me from rating this a 1 is that the stunts are admittedly cool and well shot, but like I said the novelty wears out incredibly fast.

As I am a huge fan of my country's history, this film was right up my alley. All the historical elements of the film are excellently portrayed. A few historical facts were changed a little, but not so much that it ruins the film. The changes work. The more fictional parts of the film are also very good.

The acting is also very nice. Main actors Kristofer Hivju and Jakob Oftebro have a lot of good chemistry and work well off each other. The other actors do a good job too.

The cinematography is wonderful. Beautiful shots of the Norwegian wilderness make this a spectacular viewing experience.

All in all, this film is excellent!

I had never seen any stage-version of Les Misérables. I had only heard Two songs from it; "I Dreamed a Dream" and "Bring Him Home" But still, my expectations were pretty high. And the Movie lived up to all the hype! There are plenty of Amazing performances in this. Hugh Jackman gives one of the best performance I've seen in my life! Russell Crowe has gotten a lot of undeserved criticism. His singing voice is actually very good! And his performance is incredible! Anne Hathaway is not in the film that long, but the time she is in it, is amazing! Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter as the Thernadiers are really funny! They give the film much needed comic relief. All the other actors are also amazing, but I won't take time to mention them all. They're all Great!!!

The film is full of really powerful moments. I Highly Recommend This film to everyone who likes musicals, and to everyone who likes movies!!!
