    A wonderful, marvelous, fantastic movie!

    Pros: Virtually flawless in every aspect!

    Cons: I can't watch it 24/7!

    I absolutely love Andrew Lloyd Webber plays. Evita, Starlight Express, Joseph's, all are exceptional, up there with Camelot, South Pacific, The King & I, Oklahoma!, as the cream of the crop. However his stage rendition of POTO is so far above any...thing else that has ever been done that there are no peers. I have seen it on the stage many times and am still emotionally moved every time I see it. I had HUGE misgivings mixed with great anticipation for the movie version. In the rumor mill for at least a decade I had all but given up hope that it would ever be done. Then all of a sudden, it popped up in the movie previews and hit the screens in December. I was at the first screening in my town and to say the least I was ecstatic at the movie they produced. They stuck very close to ALW's stage version (I have both sound tracks and it is hard to tell which I am listening to they are so close). The few story enhancements they added only served to clarify the parts of the story that were poorly depicted in the stage version. All were more than appropriate. The movie shows the time and care that ALW gave to producing his masterpiece - virtual perfection in every aspect. True Gerry Butler is not the singer that Michael Crawford is but neither is Crawford near the actor that Butler is (evidence - get a copy of Disney's Condor Man to see Crawford at his acting best!). Butler's performance is brilliant, magical. I can't imagine any other contemporary actor coming even close. Of course all the other cast members were perfect for their roles also. Incidentally, if I were the loser in the Christine lottery, I would have made a move on Meg! What a cutie!! Criticisms I have heard are bogus; the phantom was too young Read more Less

    Pros: ALL

    Cons: NONE

    This movie was fantastic. I don't care what the critics say. If you were privledged enough, as I was, to see the stage version by Andrew Lloyd Webber you will love this movie. They did his marvellous score justice and visually it was stunning.... There were some new things that couldn't be done on stage but it didn't take away from the original. Gerard Butler is a sexy, swooney Phantom and any hot blooded women would love him. That kind of takes away from the Phantom being a hideous gargoyle as he was originally intended in Gaston Leroux's novel. Although in this movie version his deformity is explained. His singing voice is less operatic than the rest of the cast, but is still fairly good. Emmy Rossum is a fair to good Christine. Her singing voice is a little too Disney cartoon character for my liking. But she does a good job. Patrick Wilson is a great Raoul. He has an amazing voice. He has a young Patrick Swayze quality that makes him easy to watch, and easy to root for. Minnie Driver plays a perfect Carlotta. The diva prima donna. A high pitched, almost screaming soprano makes you dislike her character even more.In closing, I say even if you don't like musicals, go for the special effects and eye candy. You'll leave with a good feeling. This movie had me on the edge of my seat, and holding off going to the bathroom in the middle of the movie. I can't wait for the DVD to see what special features are in store. You have to see this movie in the theatre, don't wait for it to come to home video. The big screen lets you appreciate Joel Shumacher's vision of 19th century Paris, and it's famed Opera House. Read more Less
