Re: 101 (more TL;DR. Sorry!)
I mean, I've said it time and time again that I was first introduced to Phantom of the Opera by the 2004 movie (unless you count Wishbone's rendition...) and I give it all the credit for making me curious about the novel, about the original musical, and about the other renditions of the story. I never knew anyone interested in it before that point and I'd never heard enough about it to want to actually go out and pick up the book.
The movie definitely has its flaws (my main complaints involving the overall plot), but I still enjoyed it. However, I also enjoyed the original novel, Kay's Phantom, and Siciliano's Angel of the Opera as well. I know I haven't seen all there is to see or heard all there is to hear where Phantom is concerned, but I agree with scapegoat1989 about how frustrating it is to be shot down for liking one particular version and being told I haven't read the book as a result.
It does all come down to personal taste, like both of you said and, honestly, I don't feel like people should be shot down and flamed for liking one version or another. I'd much prefer to agree to disagree because, let's face it, not everyone's the same and not everyone has the same preferences as a result. I'm not going to shoot someone down for hating the movie and I find it ridiculous for anyone on either side of the fence to flame one another over personal tastes.
Besides, I think people should take into consideration the fact that if the movie had featured purely Operatic renditions of the songs, it wouldn't have appealed to its target audience, which probably also explains the portrayals of the characters... Personally like Opera, but I know I'm in the minority there. >__> My own family doesn't understand me...
Hooray for ranting! XD
