I think that phantom is the best film i have ever seen! I went to see the show and then i went to the movie 3 times! Gerald Butler is brilliant and so is Emmy Rossum! I have print outs all over my room!
It would have been way better if they had cut some of the songs shorter but it was still a great movie to watch in the theatre. Watching it at home wouldn`t be the same.
Gerard Butler shows the most amazing emotions that sears deep into the soul of every person that sees him act. His stirring portrayal of the Phantom and his hauntingly, emotional and expressive tenor voice allows everyone to identify with some part of the Phantom. The movie was absolutely amazing.
Rarely can it be said that a leading actor can be so misscast - yet not affect the film he stars in detrimentally... But if ever there was a `perfect` example - this would be it. Having read all the `raveing` reviews on this Site, let me remind the authors that the visage of the Phantom was not that of a `beautiful` person - such as that portrayed by Butler... No, The Phantom`s true beauty rather lay in the gripping power of his voice... Indeed the Opera makes no sense (for those who bother to listen to the words) if his visage is appealing and outwardly dripping with sex apeal... Butler - who although can sing far better than 9/10`
Toally loved the movie. Gerard Butler was fantastic as the phantom, absolutely loved his singing.
THIS MOVIE ROCKED MY FACE OFF!
Schumacher is an astounding director, but he proved that years ago with Batman Forever and 8MM. This is just more Glory to add to his mantlepiece.
Last night was my 11th time! My friends and I are already on planning on going back this Friday and next week when it leaves Nashville, TN for good. It will be a sad day :-(
