Simply enchanting.
A truly amazing film...the music was breathtaking.
Fantastic movie. I was absorbed in it. Gerard Butler does an amazing job and brings real sex appeal to the role of the Phantom, he is so sexy !!
AN AMAZING MOVIE !!! THE GREATEST CLASSICAL MUSIC I HAVE EVER HURD AND I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT ~ I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT !! GREATEST MUSICAL !
It`s absolutely beautiful. I`m quite speechless...
I loved it. I thought it was well done and tasteful for the classic love story. The music was awesome, and the cast was well picked.
The music and the characters stayed with me for days after I saw the movie. I couldn`t get it off my mind, a sign the movie had affected me. I definitely plan to see it again soon.
Two hours of beauty! I`ve been more than once and like it more each time.
The movie was awesome, it was so powerful and I can`t resist going to see it all the time. I`ve been to see it three times already (which is all my schedule has allowed), and every time I see it I can`t wait to go back and see it again. I realize that not everyone will like it, but my friend and I agree that it is a great movie. We really think that Gerard Butler is amazing as the Phantom and has an awesome voice. Well done!
I am in love with Gerard Butler, never dreamt anyone could ooze sex appeal as the Phantom but he has pulled it off.
AWSOME MOVIE!!!!!! Beautiful music, and FANTASTIC SETS :)the phantom is pretty HOT ;) GO SEE IT NOW!
It was amazing. From the moment the phantom enters the sceen, you become entranced and like he says in the song " my power over you grows stronger yet" is quite true.... i will buy the dvd, i already bought the soundtrack. gerard butler and emily rosenbum are really great.
I`ve fallen in love with the music and the movie. I really want to see the stage musical now.
Haunting. You will be mesmerized.
A stunningly beautiful motion picture. It will leave you speechless.
Wow. I never thought it was so sad when I saw it on stage, but this production will have you weeping. Brilliant. A must see. It translates to the big screen perfectly and leaves you wondering, "why didn`t they do this sooner?"
YAWN !!!!!!
This is the second time that I`ve seen the movie and if I could I would go see it again. I recomend watching this movie it is outstanding, pay no attention to what the critics say about it. The actors do and ammazing job and the music is truly wonderful, quite breathtaking. Its a great refesing take on the theatrical version. It is like nothing i`ve ever seen before. It`s a truly outstanding movie.

Spectacular performance, excellent set design, costume, great songs. No Doubt. However, it is quite boring.
A magnificent film! What talent! What music!The use of young relatively unknown actors was right on target. Revisiting the Phantom was delightful experience! Wilson, Butler and Rossum are so talented and are as handsome and beautiful as they come! The three have many great performances ahead of them. I have ordered the sound track and I can`t wait for it to arrive. I will go back to see the movie again and again. The wait for this movie has certainly been worth the wait. I would like to see Schumacher and Webber work together again filming other musicals. Musicals are back!
Possibly the most BEAUTIFUL film you will ever see. A haunting and surreal movie-musical experience.
A Gorgeous film. A work of art and a feast for the senses. The BEST film I have seen in a long time.
Pleasantly entertaining.
What a show, almost as good as the live play. Keep up the good work.
I love this movie and I`m very happy and surprised that other people in my high school are raving about it. :)
Great illustration on Webber`s music. Couldn`t be better. Loved every moment.
Why is this rated so low?!?!?! It was a fantastic movie, totally captivating and brilliant in every sense... my brother and friends were enthralled... Best Picture right here, folks!!!
I thought it was the best movie ever i can`t wait till it comes out on vedio
It was done very well.
This movie is breathtakingly beautiful to watch and listen to. The stars were brilliantly cast and Gerard Butler makes a superb, smouldering and agonizingly romantic Phantom. I have seen it twice and will certainly see it again and again. I plan to buy the DVD of the movie and CD of the music. Bravo for a superb, romantic fantasy.
The best movie I have seen in a long time. All the characters are played to perfection. The "Phantom" is outstanding. The score is phantastic !
Magnificent! Gerard Butler is a fabulous Phantom and I cried my eyes out! Andrew Lloyd-Webber has had his dream for the film answered! I will go to see it again, and again!
I saw it at the pictures 3 times and would have gone more if I could have. Since seeing it I haven`t stopped playing the CD from the original stage version today I recieved the film version and the bit when Gerard lets Christine and Raoul go and sings about the `music of the night` being over made me start to cry as it did in the cinema. Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum were truely brilliant and I defy anyone to say any diferent they can not be compared to Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford because they will always be the "originals" but they should be given the credit for their performances which I felt were outstanding and constantly left
Breathtakingly wonderful, fabulous, incredible remake of the stage show. EXCELLENT movie, and the Phantom is simply GORGEOUS.
SPECTACULAR! Emmy Rossum is flawless, as is the entire cast, especially the leads captured my heart. It was so great to see the expressions on tbeir faces (not as easy to do onstage) and the opening scene with the chandelier was as breathtaking as it was onstage! KUDOS!
spectactular preformance from all actors, directors and producers are grately applauded. thanks!
I enjoyed and loved this movie just as much as the opera itself. Although it is not a true Opera and it was a made for broadway and the London scene musical, the sets customes and off course the music was wonderful, I loved the effects and the chemistry between all the actors something we don`t actually always see on scene in the broadway version. I would suggest to anyone who`s seen it live, to actually pay to go see this one at the movies you`ll probably enjoy it just as much :)
Thought it was wonderful. Gerard Butler smoulders as the Phantom.
I had never seen Phantom of the Opera, and this movie absolutely captivated my interest! I borrowed my friends` CD with the music, and the movie stayed strictly to the original score. Emmy Rossum looked gorgeous and Gerard Butler portrayed the Phantom, very, very well. Excellently done! (I`ve seen it twice already, haha!)
Better than the play because you were able to see the Phantom`s emotions. Wonderful!
emmy rossum wasn`t that good...
the whole thing was visually arresting! the costumes and set design were absolutely gorgeous. what a moving plot line and so convincingly excecuted. LOVED IT!!!
Bravo! I love the passion of this story. The music moves me. I have seen Phantom in the theatre twice. This movie gave me new perspectives on Raoul and Madame Giry. Beautifully done. I would see it again.
THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME!!!! I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT....I WAS PRACTICALLY FALLING OFF MY SEAT IT WAS SO GOOD ... MY MOUTH WAS OPEN THE WHOLE TIME...THE MUSIC WAS BREATH TAKING....I ABSOULUTLY LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!! IM SO BUYING OF THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Have been waiting many years to see this movie probably about the time that Evita came out because there was talk that Antonio Banderas was singing the roll of the Phantom. I saw it today Jan 9-2005 and I was not dissappointed. I was so thrilled that I was brought to tears when I heard the overture. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and I plan to buy it when the Video is released.
absolutely incredible movie. i`ve already seen it twice, bought the soundtrack, and i`m definetly going to see it again!! beautiful music, great acting... all in all the best movie i`ve seen in a long time
Better than the play, Emmy is outstanding... She is here to stay !!!
This is the reason I go to movies.....in the hopes that someday something this wonderful will happen. I was awed by this movie, literally sitting on the edge of my seat. I will see it again and again and I will be first in line when the DVD is released. I have seen the stage play twice, but this is a totally different experience. Mesmerizing, sumptuous, wonderful...... Thanks, Joel Schulmacher!
i have seen the play and now the film. I now have gone out to buy the book it is just the best ever. I took my 12 year old daughter to see it and she loved it, we both want to go back and see it again.
