*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*))

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.
Thanks for the banner, silverdrop!

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.
