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. ...
