Some things I liked, with regards to the lyrics, was opting to make certain passages speaking. There wasn't a lot of dialogue in the play, and I liked "Come, those two fools....." being spoken, as well as some of the Raoul/Christine stuff that I always thought was silly being sung.

LOL I dunno about the Think of Me sequence... actually that was one sequence that I thought she was "off"... also because of numerous takes/angles/extra noise, it seems odd that they would want to film any singing live since it would require lots of unnecessary work
I felt the opposite about the speaking lines in the movie versus singing lines in the play. But that's prolly cuz I have the whole damn play memorized, and so hearing singing words spoken was slightly jarring.
