Why did the lovers not sing Somewhere? The whole story revolves around their tragic love story and that was their song, not the song of a widow singing about her dead husband. Who cares about that, honestly? The male lead lacked passion and power. Why no subtitles for all the dialogue in Spanish? That was a missed opportunity to communicate every bit of the story that you could. Why cast a skinny guy as Riff? Also the original choreography was brilliant - why scrap it? I'm surprised Bernstein's score wasn't discarded, just to do something different. But certainly not better than the original film.
