Judie H-P Oct 23 Loved the songs, the amazing voices, and period costumes, and the love story. See more Quan 11/29/2023 Feel so lucky to be able to finally see this on the big screen! Beautiful movie. See more Solerei H Nov 14 The imagery and music is utterly beautiful. I think the 'top critics' forget this film is based on a musical that has had one of the longest runtimes in theatre history. It's not an Avengers film, or a new Mission Impossible film. It's a musical based on a book published in 1909. The feeling I get after watching this is a something new movies don't impress upon any more. It is timeless, heart-wrenching, and breathtaking all in one. I am proud to say this is my all time favourite film.

See more PERCY B Nov 5 These movies with huge disparity between the public and critics are very perplexing and usually in these cases you are better going with the public review. This is a perfect case. This was an excellent enjoyable movie especially if you haven't seen a live performance but even great if you've seen in on Broadway and 2 other times like I have. The music is great and so is everyone's performance. See more Nikki N Nov 3 This movie perfectly enhances the dreamy and romantic haze of the French Victorian era that takes place in an illustrious opera. The otherworldly and floaty feeling of the film perfectly encaptures Webber’s portrayal of Phantom’s capacity to inflict a spell-like haze of beauty on his audiences. Despite its debut in 2004, its visual design and cinematic representation still holds up against today’s day and age of CGI and AI-generated content. You can really feel the heart and soul that is put in each shot, costume, and number. I saw a review calling this adaptation “too-faithful,” which I find comically ridiculous. It is true that the loyalty this movie shows to Webber’s masterpiece is evident. Any further research into the film shows that Andrew Webber himself cast the show; pretentious critic opinion or otherwise, Butler, Rossum, and Wilson are precisely where they need to be. Gerard’s strong presence as the Phantom has haunted me for decades while Patrick perfectly balances the dark with his gentle and lighthearted appearances. Emmy, despite her young age, delivers such a captivating portrayal of inner conflict and naivety. Future viewers, please note: this film was created for appreciators of art, not those with a nonexistent attention span. See more Read all reviews
