Quan Feel so lucky to be able to finally see this on the big screen! Beautiful movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/29/23 Full Review Gianna P LIterally one of the best movies out there Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/14/24 Full Review Erin I I would highly recommend seeing this production if you have never seen a film directed by Joel Schumacher. He's an extremely skilled film writer and director who truly loved what he did for a living. I love how he incorporated special effects (such as the chandelier), thrilling music, and talented actors together to create a remarkable production that will forever hold a place deep in people's hearts. Overall, the production is about 2 hours and 20 minutes which doesn't feel long at all because of the various chilling, mysterious events that take place throughout the film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review Karen K This is one of my favourite movies. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve watched it since its release. I have also seen multiple productions of the stage show over the years. The movie is by far my favourite and while I think the rest of the cast is fantastic, it is Gerard Butler as the Phantom that is the main reason I love this version so much. I cannot fathom the low rating given by the critics. Gerard Butler has an absolutely wonderful voice and while not as “operatic” as many have had in the stage versions, he more than manages and brings a raw sexiness to the role in every song he sings. But apart from the singing, his acting performance is second to none. For the first time in any version of Phantom Of The Opera I have seen, I felt a vulnerability and human, rather than monster, quality to the character that I have never felt before. I was wanting him to win Christine’s heart from the minute Butler came on the screen. He is completely believable and charismatic and if I had Christine’s choice of Raoul or Gerard’s Phantom, I certainly would have made a different choice to hers. Highly recommend this film. Ignore the critics. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Анна Р The Phantom of the Opera is a musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber directed by Joel Schumacher, based on the novel of the same name by French writer Gaston Leroux. The music was composed by Lloyd Webber, the main part of the lyrics by Charles Hart, and its individual fragments by Richard Stilgoe. The plot revolves around the talented singer of the French opera Christine Daae, who was trained, kidnapped, protected and saved by the "Angel of Music", "The Phantom of the Opera" or simply Eric, a disfigured genius from birth, whose role was played by Gerard Butler. Butler's wonderful acting, complemented by a truly angelic voice, made an incredible impression on me. Emmy Rossum also does not leave anyone indifferent, this actress always penetrates her performance deep into the viewer's heart. I can't stress enough how well Patrick Wilson fit into the role of winkont, although I imagined Raul differently, but it's hard to imagine someone else in this role. I liked the film's richness of small details, beautiful voices, and impeccable acting Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review Madie R Thought the production design and costumes were absolutely perfection from the Chandalier to the cast. Emmy Rossum and Patrick Wilson give great performances, Minnie Driver is very funny as the Diva La Carlotta. But the star of the musical for me is still Gerard Butler as The Phantom. Butler's portrayal of the Phantom as a victim instead of a villain makes the character more sympathetic and you actually want to route for them. And there's just something about Butler's performance that makes this deformed character so dashing and charming. Between Raoul and The Phantom, I'd take The Phantom.
