    pretty good, I hate Emmy Rossum, Patrick Wilson and Gerard Butler make up for her horribleness.
  • May 21, 2009
    One of my favorite musical movies. I saw it live and both are quite similar. All the cast is great and even if your not a fan of musicals I highly recommend you see this.

    I love the book, the musical, and now the movie. The gal who plays Christine was wonderful especially her rendition of Think of Me.

    Let's be generous here - musicals in the round tend to be brain-numbingly tedious, and Andrew Lloyd-Webber's output generally follows this tradition perfectly. But he seems to have slipped up here, big style, because not only is Phantom of the Opera halfway decent, it's also qui...( read more)te entertaining, if you like that sort of thing. And I do, because, you see, Opera is, well, opera - or as close to it as the en-nobled ugly-stick victim gets. Okay, those who have studied this sort of thing may mock - but then art should never be tied to form, because form becomes formula which then kills art stone dead. And whilst the Phantom is supposedly possessed of musical genius, it does not translate too well into Gerard Butler's limited vocal range. The two American lead actors for Christine and Le Comte do not ring true - the person who cast these two should be taken to one side and preferrably left there. Added to which, the sub-amdram spaghetti-western style lip-synching on many of the songs means this film falls far short of its potential. Then again, is it possible to make a silk purse out of a dog's breakfast?

    phantom of the opera
  • May 13, 2009
    One of the only good Joel Schumacher movies
  • May 9, 2009
    A great musical spectacular of a scale not seen since the fantastic Chicago a year ago.

    If you only know the main Phantom theme tune, you will quickly learn to love the other beautiful tunes throughout this film.

    I had never seen the stage show, nor knew the story before se...( read more)eing this film, so everything that happened was a surprise including the wonderful ending.

    Take a tissue or two with you as it's sad...I won't say any more about that.

    The ONLY thing that slightly annoyed me during the film was that the solo musical numbers were not perfectly in sync to the person singing it and it spoilt the illusion that the person was actually singing it and not just miming.

    Nevertheless, one of the best films of the entire year, and I've seen a lot of films! An easy 8/10 vote for me.

    A disfigured musical genius, hidden away in the Paris Opera House, terrorizes the opera company for the unwitting benefit of a young protégée whom he trains and loves.
  • May 8, 2009
    the singing of the same song over and over and over drove me a little mad by the end =)

    "In sleep he sang to me. In dreams he came. That voice which calls for me and speaks my name."

    Gerard Butler isn't your typical Phantom, but he pulled it off with great strength!!! Emmy voice is superb!
  • April 29, 2009
    i liked this a lot more than i thought i would. i don't usually like musicals, but this one had such dark, beautiful music. gerard butler was wonderful!
  • April 29, 2009
    Love Gerard Butler, and I Love when he sings!!
  • April 29, 2009
    This musical is certainly a masterpiece. I wonder why many critics didn't like it much. The story and the music was great, as well as the cast. This is a film I would love for the rest of my life.
  • April 28, 2009

    own...
  • April 28, 2009
    Love it! It was my favorite movie!
  • April 28, 2009
    I knew Emmy in this movie=]
  • April 26, 2009
    Despite one's critic's opinion, I was moved by Gerard's singing as well as his gallant potrayal or this misunfortunate soul. Andrew Lloyd Weber at his best yet! better than the Broadway production, in my opinion.
  • April 23, 2009
    A heart-rending musical. One of my BEST MOVIES.
  • April 18, 2009
    The Phantom of the Opera is the movie in which "passion was put in to action"...Gerald Butler(the Phantom) really made every seen emotion filled...Can you imagine King Leonidas not only singing but also very good at it? :)
  • April 18, 2009
    Oh Christine...why did you choose the ugly and uninteresting prince boy? I would have chose the Phantom.
  • April 17, 2009
    I feel sorry for the phantom...
  • April 17, 2009
    I quite enjoyed this movie, the songs, action, drama was very good. Butler did a pretty good job as the phantom. Who'd have known that Rossum could sing so well also. In particular I liked the song they were singing when she pulled his mask off as well as the 'wandering child'.
  • April 17, 2009
    Yeah ok, I liked it...so call me sad.
  • April 14, 2009
    Ok movie, but too much singing...
  • April 13, 2009
    The Classic Musical. 6/10.
  • April 12, 2009
    stupid girl..she left the phantom
  • April 11, 2009
    I L-O-V-E this! But its sad also.
  • April 11, 2009
