* DesignatedHero: One of the biggest criticisms of the film is how Valjean's actions make him rather hard to root for. He punches Bishop Myriel when trying to rob his silver cutlery, slaps Cosette when she calls him out for refusing to tell her anything of his past life, and does nothing when Javert commits suicide in front of him before walking away with a smile on his face.

Renamed one trope.
* QuestionableCasting: John [=McGlynn=], who plays Carnot (the man mistaken for Valjean), looks nothing like Liam Neeson so it's difficult to believe that anyone would get the two confused.

* SoOkayItsAverage: Most reviews found it good enough, "perfectly respectable" as Creator/RogerEbert put it, with particular praise going to Neeson and Rush. But many also said that at the end of the day, it couldn't shake the feeling that it was just the latest of many live-action versions of the novel. And so it's kind of a footnote nowadays. Years later, the film of the musical got a lot more attention for being, well, the film of the musical instead of yet another film of the book.

* AcclaimedFlop: Downplayed on both counts, but there's a good chance it is. The budget has never been disclosed, but the box office take was only around $14 million. Yet most critics seemed to find it okay to good, if not exactly showering it with raves.
