What an unadulterated piece of shit.

Well, maybe slightly adulterated. The sets were nice.

I haven't seen the musical version of this, but I can definitely see where it might be more enjoyable than the movie. For one, I thought it was a bit excessively graphic in terms of violence (and I'm no prude when it comes to violence... I cackle at corpse flight patterns in FPShooters:p). Something about lively music juxtaposed against the close-up slashing of a man's throat kind of sets me at odds. I think watching the musical, being a bit back from the action, would leave more to your imagination and perhaps make the whole thing a bit more enjoyable. Also, watching a movie with 5 minute long explanations of scenes is a bit... boring. It dragged horribly. Again, probably would've been more interesting in a theater because if you got bored looking at the singers you could look at the scenery. As a movie, your view is fixed to that of the camera. Could be interesting with alternate viewing angles though in a special edition DVD set...

Anyway, I liked the fashion, was surprised by the different actor's singing abilities (yeah I know, heavily produced), and the sets were pretty cool. However, it would've been more enjoyable as a musical theater experience rather than a movie theater one.
