We saw POTO movie today for the first time and plan to see it many more times. It is different enough from the stage play to keep me alert to the changes, while filling in many of the blank spaces the theater version didn`t let us know about, plus the sound system in the movie theater was much better than any of the 4 stage plays I have seen. The greatest music EVER!!! I think it is or will be my favourite movie of all time- Sonny
The acting was terrible. The Phantom is supposed to evoke pity, not loathing. I felt nothing for any of the other characters who were one dimensional and bland. See the original black and white film for an enjoyable plot and acting. I wanted to really like the film as the musical was great but I could not delude myself.
I thought that the music and drama was awesome. the whole movie I was clinging to my dad!
This is the most brilliant, sensuous and beautifully haunting movie I have ever seen! I thought "Moulin Rouge" was awesome, but this movie tops it by far. Gerard Butler is just one of the finest and most handsome upcoming actors in the business. Emmy Rossum sings like an angel and is an amazing actress. High praise also to Minnie Driver(so funny) and Patrick Wilson(handsome). I was really upset this movie got no Oscar nods for the top awards.
Wonderful! Ive seen the play several times and was worried the film would not live up to the quality of performance but it was Excellent!! Ive seen the movie twice already and will see it again! HIGHLY Recommended!!
Absoloutley amazing! My new favorite movie. All the stars were amazing. It was always my favorite play but I love the movie so much more. The voices of all the actors were amazing. I`m definitley preordering the movie! And did I mention the guys, Gerard (Phantom) and Patrick (Raul) are hot!!!
I don`t know you could not be taken into this movie and live the story! The beautiful music, the cast did such a wonderful job. Having seen the stage production several times it was amazing to see it in movie form. this will be a movie I will see again and again!
He is the best Phantom ever, my daughters which are 11 and 13 loved him. We have seen the movie 3 times and we can`t stop listening to the movie sountrack.
My name is marta i am from portugal and all i want to say is that i have seen the phantom of the opera for three times now,and i simply love it.i am not going to comment technical aspects like the performance of the actors( which i thought it was brilliant) because my knoledge regarding that is samall,this is just the opiniam of a cinema lover.
I absolutely LOVED-LOVED this movie. Gerard Butler was so dark, so tormented and sooooo sensually menacing. I couldn`t take my eyes off of him. He played the part of the phantom to perfection. As the viewer you felt the passion, the yearning he had for Christine. The desperation that he would do anything to have her. Gerard Butler stole the show! I loved the way Christine evolved within the phantom`s presence. There was a sensual awakening in her eyes. A fire that threatens her peace of mind. You felt her struggle. Should she stay with a "safe" lover (Raoul) or should she surrender to the phantom who wants all of her mind, heart an
