Phantom Review
I have seen this movie three times now and I feel that it is one of the best musicals made into a movie. I myself being an actor for musicals, thought that it would have been much better if one,they had had Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman playing... more

Unbelievable
This movie desserved to be nominated for best picture. I mean who can't like it. It had a boutiful story. The music was unbelievable. How didn't Learn to be lonely win in the academy awards. Phantom desserved to win all 3 of the awards it was up for in... more

WOW
That's all I can say, WOW. For years I have been wanting to see this on stage. I know all of the music but I have never seen a live performance until now. Granted this is a movie and not the stage but I was blown away by everything in it. I've been a... more

Wowed by the movie and dashing Gerard Butler
I was skeptical as to how much value a movie rendition of one of my all-time favorite musicals could add. To my utter delight and astonishment, I walked out of the theatre unduly satisfied, rating the movie more highly than the musical. I had the opportunity... more

Truly fantastic
I have seen the Phantom of the Opera film more than once and enjoyed it each time. It is exquisite, moving, and never ceases to give me the shivers.
The music is of unparalled beauty and I think, wholeheartedly, that Miss Rossum, Mr. Butler, and... more

I absolutely LOVED this movie but...
I was so excited when I hear that "Phantom of the Opera" was being released as a movie. I have never seen the stage production but have been listening to the music for years. I found the movie to be very beautiful and beautifully made but I cringed... more

A Grand Show of Emotion and Love
I have to admitt i was a bit skeptical when i saw that Phantom was being turned into a movie, but then i saw the previews. Them alone made me dig out all of my Phantom CDs and books.

When i saw it for the first time, i was amazed. Not only... more

This movie is a jewel
I don't understand all the hipe about Sarah and Michael. I've seen the stage play twice (and hope to see it again) and neither time was Sarah or Michael in it and both experiences were fantastic.

I was expecting to be disappointed having... more

Hypnotic Magic
Having never seen the musical performed on stage (and knowing only bits and pieces of the story) I was eager to see the original Andrew Lloyd Webber songs and storyline played out, if not performed before me in person then performed on screen. I just... more

simply awe-inspiring
The firt time I saw the preview for the Phantom of the Opera, I thought it looked a bit too "opera-ish" and flamboyant for me. But I broke down when a friend of mine begged and begged and begged me to go, with the additional pushing of my mom. Walking... more

Brilliant (4 1/2*)
Brilliant! This movie blew me away. I saw both versions, meaning I saw the Broadway show in NYC. Comparing to the show I thought they did a great job! This classic story of a Phantom," the masked man" who roams the Opera in Paris is spellbinding. The... more

Sublime
As a die hard fan of the stage show (5 times), I eagerly awaited this movie and was not disappointed, despite a few minor quibbles:
(1) The "through the mirror" scene, one of the first spine-tingling moments in the show, was done terribly.
(2)... more

Don't listen to the Critics
Every time that I speak with someone and say: "You have to see the 'Phantom of the Opera', it was wonderful"; I either hear one of three things:

1) "I've heard it was horrible and not worth seeing. All of the critics say so."
(So,... more

AMAZING! Why didn't this get nominated for picture?
This was my first time experiencing "The Phantom of the Opera". My mom owns the tape of the original stage version with Crawford as the Phantom, yet I hadn't heard this amazing music before now.

I'll basically explain the story in modern... more

If you miss this, you miss a classic.....!!!
This film will become the classic musical of the 2000's, with a performance of Phantom by Gerard Butler, that is unmatched....he channeled the character of Erik, felt his pain and gave his soul to the screen. The music was superb, the colors and faces,... more

The best movie in the world
Phantom of the Opera is definitely the best movie i have seen in my entire life. i am not a fan of musicals, but POTO captivated me and now i am a fanatic. i have read the book and the movie is definitly better. many have said that Gerard Butler's voice... more

Not as good as seeing it in theatres.
I'll start off by saying that I am an admitted Phantom of the Opera obsessee. Also by saying that I'd give it 2.5 stars, but, considering that it's not an option, it gets two.

Now that that is done, I want to say that, while the movie is... more

COLLOSSAL
... and fortunately, unlike Evita 1996, the moviescript DOES allow the characters to speak a little bit. It is quite apparent however that its virtues are theatrical and not cinematic and the style is borrowed from the excellent Moulin Rouge 2001. more

Music Of The Night
This is the movie Webber fans and Phantom fans have waited for and it lives up to the stage version in every sense with stunning costumes, and wonderful sets. This movie deserved more Academy Award accolades than it was given.

This movie... more
