Premise
An adaptation of the broadway show about a disgruntled former employee who sings and terrorizes an opera theatre.
Who should watch
Fans of the show.
Thoughts
The cinematography was cool, the special effects were well done, the music was bad-ass.
However, like many musicals, the story is lame. The characters were uninteresting and unbelievable.
I have not seen the musical (feel free to boo me), so I never realized how mundane the lyrics were. Their lack of poetry just seemed so out of place with the bad-ass music and visuals.
What I would change
Catch-22: I'm damned if I keep the lame lyrics and I'm damned if I change something so well-recognized.
