Movie Reviews of The Phantom of the Opera (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: Spectacular movie
Summary: 5 Stars
The scenery and costumes were extravagance and rightly so, nothing else would have worked. Mr. Butler did
an excellent job as the phantom with a overwhelming presence . Emmy Rossum was perfect in her part as Christine. The music has a tendency to stay with you long after the movie has ended. I am not the biggest of opera fan, but this is one that I will watch many times over.
Movie Review: Pretty good
Summary: 4 Stars
I am quite a fan of "The Phantom of the Opera". This movie does a good job of telling the story and the music is excellent. The only disappointing thing was you could easily tell that the singing voices were dubbed over the actors. Otherwise it was a great show.Movie Review: Phantom Review
Summary: 4 Stars
Great purchase, I don't regret it at all! Disc came in a timely fashion, didn't wait too long. Love the quality of the Bluray! Blows away standard DVDs by miles. I'm very satisfied with this purchase and how quickly it arrived at my home, even as I'm living in Hawaii... A+!Movie Review: He's the Most Human of the Classical Monsters
Summary: 5 Stars
And with that being said, the Gillman from "Creature from the Black Lagoon" (1954) is the most Inhuman. I think the only thing I could say is that this film does justice to the 1925 silent version with Lon Chaney Sr., as well as the 1943 "Phantom of the Opera", with Claude Rains. The latter of the two originals plays the biggest part in terms of the Phantom's appearance this time around. So far, as far as classic monster remakes go, Columbia and Tristar have been responsible for taking Universal's chance of reinventing their two biggest titans of terror: Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster, away from them. Warner Bros. was responsible for taking Universal's chance at a remake of Phantom of the Opera away from them, which resulted in this film. If you ask me, Columbia, Tristar, and now Warner Bros. have all done a good job with their distribution of these classic monsters, in turn doing justice to these legends of horror. Universal however did manage to get a hold of one of its classics, The Mummy, and remake it in 1999. And just as Columbia, Tristar, and Warner Bros. had remade the classic Dracula, Frankenstein, and Phantom films, Universal remade the 1933 classic King Kong in 2005, which was originally a RKO Picture. So now, The Wolf Man, Creature from the Black Lagoon, and The Invisible Man are the only ones left to be brought to a new generation, and Universal is remaking these.Movie Review: The Phantom's Spell
Summary: 5 Stars
I grew up listening to the 1987 casette tape of The Phantom of the Opera, complete with the voices of Michael Crawford as the Phantom, and Sarah Brightman as Christine. My parents went to Ontario at the Pantages Theatre to watch the play. So, naturally, when the movie version came out in 2004, there was no doubt that it would be seen by my family.
The Phantom of the Opera, there, became real to me - not on stage, but in a movie theater. So much more I began to understand, and I found myself falling head over heals. (Who wouldn't? This is Gerard Butler, after all...)
This movie remains my favorite film of all time. The music, the romance, its sheer unforgettableness. The Phantom of the Opera will keep you singing long after the credits roll.
