Audience Member hell yeah!! this is the chinese version of the phantom of the opera with some changes i suppose Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This "Phontom of the Opera"-inspired film from Hong Kong resonates with beautifully wrenching romantic longing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member melodramatic with a capital M, but what a trip down memory lane. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Leslie's voice is awesome Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Chinese version of "The Phantom of the Opera"... a failure though... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Didn't pass my ten minute rule that a film has to engage me in the first 10 minutes. The acting was lame, the script was lame, the music was hyperdramatic. The only good part was that Chien-lien Wu was in it, and she's kind of pretty. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
