To put it in a word - sublime -Alex
this movie is the best of the year!everyone should see this movie. it better win oscars or else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favourite movie of the year! I do not know why most critics are giving it such horrible reviews. It`s not -that- bad. I love the music. I love the art design and beautiful sets. I love all the actors/actresses. Though this is all coming from a `phan` of the music though. =)
It was beautiful, Gerard Butler was an amazing Phantom!
Excellent! I was so impressed with the film version......SEE IT!
Some things just aren`t meant to be transferred to film; this is one of them.
I thought the movie was horrible.It was brutal.The singing and the acting was if i was watching the simpsons.I give this 2 stars.After remake after remake...this was never good.
I was truly impressed. It`s quite a story. Excellent casting. Emmy Rossum made an awesome performance.
Every emotion that I felt during each of the 12 times i saw the stage show were still there in full force when I saw this film. Having read the original novel three times, this film puts to screen everything that I had envisioned while reading that text. It`s rare to find a film for which I can honestly say I wouldn`t change a thing and it`s exactly what i wanted to see! Rob.
This movie was absolutely rich with power. It was incredible-I am a fan of the Phantom of the Opera and though at first the singing doesn`t seem to add up to the singing on the CD, this movie will blow you away. Top notch.
This was one of the best movies I have seen this year. When I read the unfavorable reviews by some of the critics (i.e.: the New York Times) I was a little wary to see this movie production of one of my favorite plays. However, from the first moment to the last second, I was struck by how closely it follows the play, with a few extras here and there! This is an absolute MUST-SEE! Ignore the bad reviews. See this movie and revel in the beautiful singing, excellent acting, and beautiful cinematography.
Very good movie, but not as good as the stage version. Anyways, let`s be a little sensible though. It was a good movie. The songs were, as usual brilliant to listen to. Acting was great, but there were alteration made in the songs and slight alterations in the story line. I can`t agree with the alterations. Some songs were compromised. As good as the actors were, they were not as good as SARAH BRIGHTMAN and MICHAEL CRAWFORD. Michael Crawford still stands alone as the original and the best Phantom ever and Sarah Brightman the original and the best Christine Daae. Emmy Rossum was brilliant but there were times I felt that she couldn`t quite per
It was breathtaking.
I love it.
The film critics who have panned this movie have got it all wrong. The movie was brilliant. From the film`s opening black and white scenes to the conclusion, the audience at the screening I attended were captivated, not a sound in the theatre could be heard, save for what was presented on the screen. I cannot wait to purchase the DVD.
Electrifying. Without out a doubt the finest screen adaptation you will ever see. The voices are magnificent, the staging superb. If you want your "spirit to soar" don`t miss the experience. Tatally captivating. 5 stars
I thought that the film adaptation was long over due, but in return it was well worth the wait! The casting could not have beeen better. Gerard Butler did a brilliant performance. No doubt that this film will make him North America`s next hottest bachelor pick in Hollywood. Good luck on that one, Gerard!
This movie was excellent, it really blew my breath away! I am one of those people who, if they see a movie that they really like, they cannot forget about it. This movie is most deffinitly the best i have seen in a VERY long time. I would really recomend seeing The Phantom Of The Opera! It is breath taking, just absolutly amazing!
this movie was so powerfull especially the music i loved it.
Love it! no other words to describe. Just simply loved it.
This was an absolutely gorgeous movie in every aspect of the term. It deserves every single one of the golden globes it is nominated for. Beautiful
The movie cannot compare to the Canadian production with Colm Wilkinson (however you spell) as the phantom. Overall I liked the movie but parts of the music here and there were altered and I don`t like the alterations. Was it me or did the phantom not wear a hat in the movie? Oh well, superb movie - but some songs were oversung by too many ppl and I couldn`t make out the words even though I new all the songs by heart :)
WOW!! I was speechless when I left the theatre. The movie was absolutley wonderful & fit my high expectations of it. I am a huge fan of the music & the book & seeing it all come to life on the big screen was what I was waiting for. I believe that this is a movie for a wide range of people to go & see, as I`m a teenager & I loved it, as well as a good family movie that teaches you & touches you in some way & it`s only every so often you get the chance to go & see a musical. I have high hopes for this movie and the oscars and & I`m glad to see it`s up for a few golden globes. Overall, this is definitley one of my favourite movies (if not alre
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA IS AMAZING! THERE`S THE WORD "OSCAR" WRITTEN ALL OVER THIS FILM!!! ONE OF THE BEST OF 2004!!!
Amazing, touching, wonderful movie I have ever seen.
I am a phanatic about Andrew Lloyd Webber`s The Phantom of the Opera, and the original novel by Gaston Leroux. Having recently seen the Broadway version and studied the novel and musical, I feel that perhaps the the music was compromised. Although Gerard Butler is a very gifted actor, as shown very clearly in many scenes, singing is not his forte. The Phantom of the Opera is a musical, first and foremost, and the voice of the Phantom should have been designated to a more experienced singer. However, overall the film was phantastic and I was very pleased to see more background given to the Phantom.
While the stage production of the "Phantom" is a tough act to follow, the movie version has succeeded in other areas such as set design, costumes and visual impact. A thoroughly entertaining and extremely well done movie.
I have seen the stage show many times, I am a professional stage manager, and alot of it didn`t make sense even to me until I saw the movie. Gerard Butler was absolutely amazing, I actually left feeling sorry for the phantom, even after all the trouble he cause. Emmy Rossum was born to play this role, and well what is there to say about Patrick wilson hot! hot! hot!
Not what I thought it would be like......
