Movie Reviews of The Phantom of the Opera (Widescreen Edition)

Movie Review: Love it! Can't wait to get it
Summary: 5 Stars

I borrow this movie all the time from my best friend, so when I caught it on sale I deceided to order it for myself, the only problem is I still have not received it! I'm begining to think the Super Saver Shipping is not so great, especially since it was shipped 12 days ago and still has not arrived!

Movie Review: As good as the play!
Summary: 4 Stars

First of all, the production of the film is as good as the play itself! Now, having the chance to see it in Blu-ray gives you the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful experience almost in a live-like stage.

Movie Review: If youve ever seen the Broadway performance...
Summary: 2 Stars

then you will have to be disappointed by this film. Or if you are cynical, somewhat of a purist when it comes to movie adaptations, you will have great cause to laugh and poke fun. The movie is visually decedent in many aspects, but the singing? First of all, the phantom's modern rock star voice doesnt help the fact that he cant carry notes worth a damn. And emily whats her name who plays Christine cannot hit high soprano without wavering and pinching her voice in a cringe-worthy performance. But yes, her skimpy nightgown and sexual suggestiveness when the phantom takes her down to his lair is hilariously ridiculous. Plus the eyelid fluttering during "point of no return"- subtlety is not an issue here. The first star was for some of the costumes and visual effects: the second? Because this film is more fun to make fun of than any of the films ever featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000

Movie Review: Great
Summary: 4 Stars

This film is great. I love the music from Phantom and this movie is a fun version of the play. Even with it's weaknesses (sound editing is pretty bad and the Phantom's voice isn't perfect) it is a good rendition of the classic musical.
