Brilliantly done. A stunningly beautiful film that will leave you breathless. A must see film.
Absolutly amazing! There were some things I think they shouldn`t have changed from the stage production but neverthe less a complete masterpiece! I`ve loved it since I was 8 years old when I saw it in Toronto and it was everything I hoped it would be!
one word. Phantastic. i watched it for 5 times and the water works get worse each time. yuppers.
Fan bloody tastic!!!!!!!! Gerard Butler was gorgeous as the phantom and i would have chosen him over roule any day, and he has a fantastic singing voice. I went to see it 3 times at the cinema and will be buying the dvd
First off I would just like to say to the SOPHISTICATE....how snobby are you, some people live in areas that are too far to be able to see the stage production....how dare you imply that you are better than others.... Secondly, to the person who said that the Phantom never threatened to kill Raoul, uh...I think you need to listen to the last 15 minutes of the play again, of course he does, that is the whole climax at the end!!! That said, this movie was very well done, I was aprehensive since the stage production is my absolute favourite show of all time and I was afraid the movie would not do it justice but I got those same chills.....well
A hauntingly beautiful film that will please it`s millions of "Phan`s". The sets, the costumes and the music are all spellbinding. Highly recommended.
An extraordinary movie musical. It stayed true to the original stage show and the movie is brilliantly done. The cast does a great job with the material and Emmy Rossum gives an Oscar calibre performance. Sumptuous sets, colourful costumes, an attractive cast and glorious music. This is a perfect musical film and the millions of fans will not be disappointed.
Having seen the show 3 times in Toronto before production was stopped, the most memorable of times being the last 2 when Paul Stanley of KISS fame was playing the Phantom role, I must say, the movie blew me away! Butler was stunning as Phantom, evoking just the right amount of sensuality and pathos, and his voice was divine! I own the original London cast recording, but Michael Crawford is a bit too wooden for my tastes. Butler was perfect for the role, bringing emotion to the songs that had moved me before. I had chills. I cried... and I can`t wait for this one to come out on DVD!
The fantastic music gave me chills!
Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Such a terrific portrayal. I am pleased that it stayed true to the stage version of the musical. I hope everyone goes to see it because it is so magical and passionate. I had chills those whole time. It is a must! I give it 5 stars!
