((*imagines Meryl's and Ryan's wedding* *has a similar reaction to that of watching this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPhYD07NWbY* Okay: that video is the trailer of a movie that is actually being published!!!! MY EYES! It started out as a direct recount of Gaston Leroux's Phantom of the Opera (as you can see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V1vZB1VgDo...related&search= and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1n1EwYUMgw...elated&search=) but due to budgetary constraints (no wonder they couldn't get more money!) they changed it to an investigatory modern day piece about a man trying to discover the truth about the Phantom.)) |

((What makes it really bad- the producer seems to think it's good, and won't listen when someone gives him criticism! That script... *shudders*)) |

((You want to split this, or talk about it in another topic? Personally, I don't care about Phantom of the Opera, but I can see your point, it's never nice when someone ruins something you like with a bad plot/movie/story/whatever.)) |

I just watched the video. Eesh. That IS bad. The initial premise isn't awful, and with a good script and decent actors and direction, might have been workable... But :nono:. What drives people to make crap like that? |

Very few movies based on books and plays are true to the original version. It's just something that happens. If you don't like it, don't watch it. |

I don't think he dislikes it because it deviates from the original, I think he dislikes it because it looks like crap. |

I'm on Cheese's side. If a movie sucks, don't watch it. And then it won't spawn any bad sequels. |

Unfortunately, some sequels just seem to pop up anyway... |
