    This is Schumacher's (a director who is underrated in my opinion) film based on the stage show. I love the costumes, and the amazing cinematography, and unlike some other crap movies based on stage muscials *cough-Chichago-cough* the filmmakers got people who can sing!

    Un musical sobresaliente basado en la puesta en escena de Andrew Lloyd Webber, que combina perfectamente un romance inusual con música impresionante y una dirección de arte fantástica.

    Una de las películas más emotivas que he visto sin lugar a dudas, donde el villano resulta s...( read more)er un genio musical que se aferra a la joven corista Christine, el único rastro de pureza y bondad que ha tenido en su atormentada vida.

    Contiene elementos gráficos que recuerdan fácilmente a la Bella y la Bestia (la de Cocteau por supuesto) e incluso la historia recuerda un poco la de esta última, con el "monstruo" enamorado que está dispuesto a sacrificar su felicidad con tal de dar a su amada la oportunidad de ser feliz al lado de otra persona.

    La elección de Emy Rossum y Gerard Butler para los estelares puede llegar a ser cuestionada, por un lado Emy Rossum no es una actriz impresionante y Gerard Butler no tiene entrenamiento vocal; sin embargo, la conjunción de los dos en la pantalla resulta espectacular, y si bien la voz de Butler no impresiona a nadie por su potencia, contiene un calor y una emotividad que congelan.

    Con ambientes góticos muy bien logrados y una buena dirección, El Fantasma de la Opera resulta una gran adaptación y una película sumamente notable.

    ****

  • November 2, 2009
    Amazing! It left me breathless...and wanting more...
    (Can't believe that the phantom was Gerard Butler!)
  • October 24, 2009
    Tragic unrequited love. How sad. I feel bad for the phantom. Even though half his face is scarred he's still kind a hot.
  • October 22, 2009
    The fantastic sets, costumes, art direction and cinematography make for a wonderful visual spectacle, even though the songs are not altogether great and Butler is a terrible singer.
  • October 20, 2009
    Gorgeous and touching film. Love the music, love the casting...Shitmaker got lucky here.
  • October 12, 2009
    Schumacher da rienda libre a su lado recargado y excesivo en esta peli que yo hubiera preferido mas oscura y gotica. Recomendable solo a los aficionados al musical (7-)

    Its was based on the novel by Gaston Leroux. The Phantom (Gerard Butler) has scarred face with his white mask lives in the watery labyrinths beneath the Opéra Populaire in Paris, France. The beautiful young soprano Christine Daaé (Emmy Rossum) plots to place his protégé at center...( read more) stage. Christine's love for her childhood sweetheart named Raoul the Vicomte de Chagny (Patrick Wilson). Christine married Raoul & they have children on their own.

    Great acting but not very solid. The film loses it's starting grace with some of the dialogue and pacing. I liked the cinematography though.
  • September 20, 2009
    An amazing and delightful remake of a legendary classic. The musical socre is great, the dressing and the setting fit perfectly and artistically fine. Good work.

    60/100
  • September 20, 2009
    After seeing the WestEnd show... THIS IS NOW ONLY 3.5! GERARD BUTLER SUCKS ASS.
  • September 20, 2009
    Interesting and enjoyable. Doesn't offer much, but I liked it.
  • September 19, 2009
    The Best Musical I'll Always Remember, Forever.
    Also The Best In The World. Better Than Any Musical.
  • September 16, 2009
    the perfect love triangle.
  • September 13, 2009
    Very impressive! I've always loved the Phantom of the Opera and this movie was just an extension of that. this comes close to the amzment and true magic that the broadway performance had offered. it was a thrilling experience. so much detail was put ...(read more)into this. the s...( read more)ongs and lyics were transfered perfectly. the acting at times was a bit disapointing. however, the beauty and passion that this film brought was enough to keep you entertained throughout all of this. another visually entertaining movie. I highly recomend this.

    The Phantom of the Opera looks fantastic and it's hard to keep your eyes off the screen but not because it's a good film. I just loved the set design and the look of the film. It's too bad that Joel Schumacher didn't make a Batman film that looked this good. While Emmy Rossum gi...( read more)ves the best performance of the movie as the singer that the Phantom (Gerald Butler) falls for.

    Other than that I felt it was just loud with off tune songs that drag on and on. While Gerald Butler trys hard as the Phantom, he's not very scary. When he's angry he just shouts angry words while not being very menacing. I'm not sure who could have pulled off the part though. I mean, Hugh Jackman can sing, but I don't think he's too good when he plays a villain either. Butler, might have been able to pull off the role if the film was done now. His acting has improved and he has actually improved tremendously in roles where he has to show aggresion. So perhaps he was the right guy for the part, jjust not 5 years ago.

    decent even though im not a musical fan
  • September 10, 2009
    Mr. Butler in my favorite musical role lol can't get much better than this!
  • September 7, 2009
    love the songs in this movie especially the lyrics that goes like this: say you'll share with me one life, one lifetime. lead me, save me from my solitude. say you want me with you here beside you. anywhere you go let me go, too. love me. that's all i ask of you.
  • September 7, 2009

  • September 3, 2009
    I love musicals,so I watched this version of "Phantom of the Opera".It wasn't what I thought it would be,but better.It's worth a watch.
  • September 3, 2009
    the first time i watched to be honest i get bored.. and i full asleep maybe because of the music. then i watched in the second time. hhmm! not so bad the actors did a good job. Emmy Rossum as Christine is stunning, her voice is amazing and her talent shines through this movie.
  • September 2, 2009
    Not good enough boring and so long
  • August 30, 2009
    "I am your Angel of Music... Come to me, Angel of Music."

    Pretty solid film. It does drag here and there between the middle and the end and becomes kind of boring, but it's still a decent movie. The songs are really amazing, so it helps keep you focused. And considering this is ...( read more)the same guy who did Batman Forever and Batman & Robin, I'd say this movie is pretty ranked up in his filmography.
