Les Miserables

A mixture of fantastic, adequate, and poor performances make for a "good" movie, but not a great one.

Anne Hathaway absolutely steals the show SO thuroughly, and is in it so short a time, the rest just feels inferior. 

Cinematography was a similar mixture of superb and confoundingly awful.  Various techniques were used to purposely make the actors stand out and it leads to some distracting shots.  Things that should have been set pieces were green screened, and stuff, just confusing. 

I am very rarely blown away by the makeup department anywhere, but this is one where they absolutely NAIL it perfectly.  Yeah, it's minimalistic no fancy effects, but just expertly crafted when you know what you're looking for.

* Random quote

The prevalence of anoxic environments rich in organic material, combined with the presence of nitrated compounds has led to an astonishing variety of underground organisms which live in the absence of oxygen and 'breathe' nitrate. Likewise, the scarcity of carbon in the environment has forced plants to economize on its use. Thus, all our efforts to return carbon to the biosphere will encourage the native life to proliferate. Conversely, the huge quantities of nitrate in the soil will be heaven to human farmers.
