    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    <3 the Phantom!







    ahhh....omg i love this movie i know all the words!!!
  • August 2, 2009
    andrew lloyd webber is an absolute genius. plain and simple. emmy rossum, playing christine, is sumptuous, however, it is her counterpart, gerard butler, who is the real focus of the piece. surprisingly adept at singing, butler makes the hair all over your body stand on end when ...( read more)he goes from beautiful falsettos to incredible full bodied sound. a masterpiece.
  • July 29, 2009
    Gerard butler is the perfect phantom!
    and can sing like omg. lol.
  • July 29, 2009
    Could not believe Gerard Butler's voice. Simply amazing.
  • July 29, 2009
    The broadway production is great! The movie comes close and I really did enjoy it, but nothing compares to seeing that chandler fall from the cieling to the stage at the end of Act I.
  • July 25, 2009
    Schumacher's direction and staging is so lavish as to be over-the-top, but the absurd decadence of it all is one of the film's better qualities. Its best quality is Rossum, a true talent with a beautiful voice and the looks to match. While the movie delivers an adequate visual ex...( read more)perience, it's emotionally flat, so ultimately I can't really recommend it. I just couldn't connect with it. Still, as a chance to ogle Ms. Rossum, it's certainly watchable. There are a couple of great songs, too.
  • July 22, 2009
    This movie is so sad and beautiful.
  • July 22, 2009
    Not perfect, but a lovely and lush adaptation of the Webber musical. The music still kicks ass all these years later and I love the costumes, design and look of the film. Though normally a big fan of Butler, whilst he had the presence and acting ability to play off a great Phanto...( read more)m, his voice DOES leave a little wanting.
