The Phantom of the Opera Reviews and Ratings



  • 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.

    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.

    This is officially my favorite movie of all time. (Along with the 3 Pirates of the Caribbean movies)
  • July 17, 2009
    Omg, this was the first live production i saw with a professional cast. That was 6 years ago, and i'm still in love with this show!!!! This has got to be Andrew Lloyd Webber's greatest work, and they couldn't have picked a better cast
  • July 15, 2009
    Some plays and musicals just aren't meant to cross over. The old black and white version of this was gone but I feel this fell flat

  • July 7, 2009
    LOVED this as a movie... but nothing measures to the real opera at the Phantages Theater in Toronto, Canada. Also seen it live in Pittsburgh. Mesmerizing and music is infectious & intense. I have the CD's, etc. Will continue to see it live whenever possible!

    Best movie ever made!!
  • July 1, 2009
    Doesn't work, mostly 'cause of the editing and casting.
  • July 1, 2009
    Fabulous visuals of Gothic romance, thanks to roses, sets, costumes and photography, fabulous music and Beauty and the Beast-like story - although "hot" (or not) Gerard Butler is miscast in the role of monstrously UGLY man. My, the critics have crappy taste - but then, I pref...( read more)er roses.
  • July 1, 2009

  • June 30, 2009
    pretty good if your into that sort of thing.
  • June 29, 2009
    loved the orginal soundtrack, who would have thought that michael Crawford could sing like, when he played a goofball on "some mothers do have im"
  • June 29, 2009
    Gerard Butler takes the hideous and demented Phantom and makes him sexy and appealing. Lloyd-Webber had a hand in this grande adaptation of the popular broadway play. Brava, brava.

    i LOVE this movie!! i know almost every word to the songs.
  • June 18, 2009
    Very good adaptation of Webber's material. This is a timeless story that you can really appreciate. On the level of a movie the plot is revealed remarkably. If the set design were anything less than stellar it might not have worked. What gets me about this movie is its tragic nat...( read more)ure is prevalent throughout but you can still have fun with it. As a fan of the original Phantom of the Opera I am pleased with this take on the character. Butler's pretty bad ass in that cape deal.
  • June 17, 2009
    I prefer the original cast of the Musical from Broadway--I have the CD--but this is a pretty good film version.
  • June 17, 2009
    i have no idea this musical movie is well-know or not but its the one that not a kind of tame one, the music with divine tone like it flows into u then invade all over ur mind.so kool! i have my eyes on the phantom during the duration of it, hes so attactive but i lil bit upset w...( read more)hen they let the behind-the-mask face shown.sometimes, hiding the truth is the best like the "V for Veretta" which obviously successful! my sis assess this one as the best musical movie ever, she said noone has done that great job so far.
