    I think the critics have been irrealistic as always in theire opinion about this movie.After all it is us people who pay to see these movies who have to decide weather it`s worth spending our money and time.I was captivated by the colours and "the mise en scene" , the realistic staging of the opera house and the custumes as it was on that time in Paris and i was transported in the time and the story.The phantom role was greately portrated by Gerry, of the phantom`s caractere and feelings overall " BRAVO "to this actor for a job well done .The selection of the others players were justifid as was Emmy`s voice sweet and inocent for the role of C

    This was truly one of the best movies I have ever seen. I have seen the stage production as well as must say that I thought the movie version was much more touching and romantic. I have already seen it twice and can`t wait until the DVD comes out!

    I saw the live performance of Phantom seven times. As an artist, it became my `muse` and ignited my creativity. It was the first time I saw my own passion equalled. Hard to keep the flame burning, though, when circumstances in life continually blow it out! As for the film version, as I watch it years later, I`m thrilled to find that the same passion is once again revived. How nice that one day I will have it on dvd, to be inspired over and over again. One thing that needs mentioning, as beautiful as the film is, the most remarkable image was towards the end of the story as the Phantom, unmasked, anticipates Christine approaching him with the

    This was one of the best films ever,in spite of what most critics wrote. Film critics are often envious when they encounter genius!

    I loved this-- I have the original Broadway soundtrack, but have never seen the play. I was mesmerized the entire time. The theater was packed-- (on a monday night!) and you could have heard a pin drop the whole time. This was a fantastic movie that I could see over and over again. Visually, and Musically stunning!

    very good screen version, although i thought that gerard butler was miscast as the phantom - the role called for a stronger, darker voice to match the character...however, i did enjoy it, and would recommend it highly
