f4f3And all in all, there's more to like than not to like.
There's a few alterations from the source material, and some of them are a bit cringeworthy (mostly dialogue and one hideously, hideously misjudged song placement) but nothing that undercuts the story's spine. The temptation is to say "It's both original and good. Unfortunately the good parts aren't original, and the original parts aren't good" but that's unfair - some of the new stuff works well.
And it's a stonking soundtrack.
