I just had a big conversation on lj last evening about the movie versus the stage production. I haven't read the book, I admit, though I've read a couple other (not too bad) books of the same story - including Phantom, which [livejournal.com profile] linithiliel mentioned.

...

So I had this whole comment written up about how a lot of the guys who have play Phantom were attractive, but the makeup worked to make them look ugly...and hen I looked at the picture you linked to. You have got to be kidding me! I'm with you, now - what happened to the whole "so ugly she screams and faints" bit?!

Anyway. Before I looked at that picture, what bothered me most about the new movie is the fact that Gerard Butler cannot sing for shit. I assume that part is also in the orginal book? The part where the Phantom has the angelic singing voice? Have you listened to the clips from the soundtrack? Christine sounds okay, not great, but okay, everyone else is fine, I've heard Minnie Driver is fantastic, but Butler just can't sing, and that totally defeats the whole premise of the story.
