    What a fantastic film! The costumes, the music, the acting... it was all so fabulous! My friends and I all loved it and cried at the end... truly a moving and inspiring movie. It just appalls me that such a pointless, stupid movie like "Spongebob Squarepants" would get a higher rating than this masterpiece. Take it from me... you will NOT regret taking that free Friday night to see this!!!

    Very well done! The movie conveyed the mystery and the attraction that drew Christine to the Phantom. The enigma and pull of the Phantom to one`s emotions. It`s like how you felt when you first fall in love, your whole being being pulled into sweet insanity.

    I am without a doubt the biggest Phantom of the opera fan, having seen the play nurmerous times and have read both Gaston Leorux`s book, as well as the independt book by Susan Kay which goes through the Phatoms entire life, birth till death, ( it is where the movie got the phantoms backgroud i.s gypsy capture) I would have to say that while the movie was visually stunning and did a remarkable job... the characters were not quite captured in the intensity intended by both Leroux, Webber and Kay. Both actors playing christine and phantom were with a doubt talented... but I still feel that their performances were a little dissapointing. And I

    This film stayed true to the stage musical, and to the story. I had the opportunity to see the musical 3 times since they stopped production in Toronto, and will always remain a fan of this phenomenal story. I am looking forward to when this film will be released on dvd, so that I can enjoy it with my children who did not have the opprtunity to see it musical in person.

    In a word - awesome! Emmy Rossum is exquisite and Gerard Butler a very effective and sexy phantom! The production is outstanding!

    Very good. The music, scenery, and costumes were excellent. Drags a bit during the middle, but the overall effort makes this movie one of the best I`ve seen in 2004. (4 stars)

    I thought the movie was delicious! I went out and bought both the soundtrack for the original london production and for the movie. Although Michael Crawford has an edge in being classically trained for opera, Gerard had more depth of emotion in his. In fact, I prefer Emmy Rossum and Gerard Butler over Sarah Brighton and Michael Crawford. Their voices are sexier and convey more emotion.

    This is definately my favorite movie. It was beautiful and touching. It is the first movie that has brought me to tears. All three of the eleads did an excellent job but I thought Gerard Butler was by far the best. I love his singing and his acting was superb. I didn`t see Gerard Butler acting on screed, I saw the Phantom. I can`d understand why so many critics have bashed it. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes musicals, or really anyone that just likes a good story.
