Which just reminds me...I hate opera.

But yeah, more problematic than the chosen format was the content. What was particularly weird was that the first act of the movie felt, to me, rushed and muddled as they tried to cram way too much exposition into a very short stretch of movie...but then the second and third acts dragged as nothing new was imparted to the story. It really suffered immensely from lack of good pacing and story telling, and no amount of visual artistry (and I really did like the look of the movie) or bad acting could make up for.

And they absolutely ruined the characters of Luci, Pavi, and Rotti in the rewrite. Bleh.

I completely agree with you.
