Fantome De L Opera, Le 04 (Ws)

Loved it

Strengths: Great music, great singing from the principals

Weakness: 2.33 theatrical widescreen format. I would have preferred optimized for 16:9 HDTV format

Ok, we saw the original Broadway production with Michael Crawford. We loved the live stage performance, and we also loved the dvd version. I say that because many on the internet who saw the original seemed to dislike the dvd version. I agree with Mr. Webber, they did not stray that far from the original. The dvd version seemed to fill in some blanks for me, anyhow.

Amazing Movie!!

Strengths: voice, songs

Weakness: None

My family loves this movie simply because we love music. We've watch it about 5 or more times. Emma Rossum's voice is beautiful, clear and much better than the original Live broadway show voice. The lyrics are soulful, powerful and catchy. A MUST for broadway musical fans!!

n/a

Strengths: Captures the energy of the play

Weakness: eighties guitar...enough said

A big fan of Phantom of the Opera, I was looking forward to the movie coming out. Although it didn't live entirely up to my expectations, over all the movie had very interesting scenes visually. I also thought the characters were well scripted, and the singing was satisfactory(although at the risk of sounding like a theatre snob, not up to par with the actual play itself). The only time the movie...

Even though the guy who played the Phantom also starred in Good Burger, this movie was about as funny as a basket of soggy fries.

Oh my goodness, I loved this movie. I was skeptical at first because film just doesn't have the same spark as a live Broadway show but this totally blew me away. Its beautiful to watch and Emmy Rossum, who plays Christine, is fantastic. She has a true talent.

I was fortunate enough to get to see this on broadway and I was captivated...so naturally when the movie came out I was really excited. I loved the fact that in the movie they add a background story for the phantom. It is a beautifully done movie.

I absolutely LOVED the music and the fact that the actors actually sung for themselves. Even though the Carlotta had to have someone do the singing for her, that woman was still great. It did get a little boring, but of course all movies do once in a great while. The musical scenes were very long but they had astounding mise en scene throughout the entirety of the movie. POTO had such a well...

Nowadays, people don't seem to understand the word TALENT!!! (Singing, Dancing, Costumes, Settings A++++) The Phantom of the Opera is an excellent movie that was well written and composed in an excellent fashion. Not only was the plot interesting but the settings were very beautiful and the music was spectacular. Whether you enjoy classical music or not surely you can appreciate the effort that...
