Joel Schumaker's film version of Andrew Lloyd Weber's PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is everything a movie can--a story of mythic dimension, emotions of the greatest power gorgeously expressed in song--altogether a production that shows how truly glorious a movie can be.

I have been checking out films on IMDb for years but have never felt compelled to open an account and actually leave a review so that should say something. I loved this film from the opening scene but the last 1/2 hour was just spectacular! Gerard Butler was so much more than just eye candy (although he was this and more). Classic dramatic performance that actually had me on the verge of tears. Ignore any negative reviews this was quality.

Great songs. However a lot of lip sync. A lot of goofs. The story in this film is so disconnected from the novel by Gaston Leroux. The phantom is described as being sad even if sadistic. The scene with the mirrors is far from as brilliant as in the novel. Mr. Buttler has no breathing technique and is not as good as most singers that sang Music of the night on stage! I'll give this movie a 6 out of 10.

Loved this adaption. I only watched this movie now in 2016 and was surprised with all the bad reviews Butler had at first when this movie came out. I thought he was Very captivating as the Phantom and it's hard not to fall in love with him. His body language and the way he sang with emotions added a lot of depth to the character, we can actually feel what torture he was going through. His eye contact behind the mask, scary and seductive in one. Emma is top as a very sweet Christine with a gorgeous angelic voice. A great render of the theatrical musical, I enjoyed every bit, the costumes, the music, the acting and the settings. By now, they are probably thinking of doing a new remake but for now Butler takes my award of best Phantom!
