visually stunning and heartbreakingly romantic. The best movie I`ve seen in awhile
Really enjoyed the movie. Have seen it 2x, will go back again. Some flaws in the production-most noticeable the sword fighting sequence. Should have used a double for Butler. Otherwise wonderful. My favorite pieces from the stage production were `All I ask of You` and `Music of the Night`. Now I`ve fallen for Butler`s rendition of `Past the Point of No Return`.
needed more emotion and less lip sync
We loved the Stage production, but the movie with its greater scope was just incredible. Though many of the cast were not well known, they were good. Minnie Driver`s roll was great ; I didnt recognize her. It is a movie to be seen on the big screen and the music raises the hairs on your neck!!! Definitely 5 stars.
it was ok.... not the best but OK
Gerard Butler was the perfect Phantom. He captured the emotion and character perfectly. He was by far my favorite character in the entire movie.
In response to the person who said nobody sings it like Sarah Brightman. With all due respect, but Rebecca Caine sings it, and sang it, like no other...bar none.
i have seen the phantom of the opera on stage about ten years ago and enjoyed it very much. saw it three times in toronto. then went to the show this afternoon, december 31 2004,, i enjoyed seeing and listening to Emmy Rossum and Gerard Butler .. this movie will be a classic years to come....
The movie was probably excellent for those who have not bothered to see the play. Sophisticates, like myself, who`ve seen the play were disappointed by the muted spectacle presented in the film. See the play if you can afford it, you won`t be disappointed!
I found this movie absolutly amazing!!!! Best movie I have ever seen, the actors and music were wonderful. I recommend everyone to see this fantastic movie!
