Tom Hooper and the Art of Cinematic Affectation

I tried but the all caps was just too hard to read. I might copy it into word later to fix it.

EDIT: I've attached a copy of the article converted to lower case below, much easier to read (post #5)

I thoroughly enjoyed The Kings Speech and John Adams, but I do get where Hulk is coming from. Hooper gets great performances from his actors, but visually his films do seem to be a bit off. However I don't think he's a bad filmmaker by any stretch.
 
HULK nailed it. I could not have said it better myself. And I know this because I've tried.
 
I reformatted the article to be easier on the eye. Figured I'd share it save someone else the bother. His commitment to writing in character is a bit annoying but pages 4-7 are one of the most succint presentations of the basics, usually spread across chapters in any text. Well worth it.

His primary criticism is clearly understood by whoever made the Les Mis trailer because the complaints hulk makes are conspicuously absent from it after reading the article.
