A shame it took me this long to watch it

Liked the Neeson/Rush version as well but this one definetly held its own. Hathaway and Crowe had great performances. Singing was pretty good considering musicals aren't any of the actors' specialty

Hugh Jackman was born to sing and dance in this kind of thing.

Hathaway

I thought she was passable at best. Compare her performance to Ruthie Henshall or Patti LuPone.

They were doing it live while Hathaway and the rest of the movie cast had a great deal of electronic assistance.

I thought Hathaway was quite good and Jackman inconsistently good. Crowe was intermittently terrible as a singer (I was surprised to hear he supposedly did a lot of singing earlier in his career).

In my humble opinion, I thought it was great. Saw live show in London years ago, great story and music.

Interesting Film Trivia

I didn't mind Russell Crowe's bad voice... I think it added to the experience, but my problem with the movie is that they had to sing EVERYTHING. Even the shortest, most trite utterances. Like thiiiissss. It wore thin.

Also, the story, itself, is pretty damn farfetched.

I didn't see the movie, but I hate Anne Hathaway so damn much
