Queralt T OK. As other versions, the plot was not focused on the Phantom, but Christine and Harry (aka Raoul). It was fine, but it would've been better if it didn't have the name of Phantom of the Opera, since there were few elements form the original plot. The end was very rushed and didn't do much sense. *SPOILER* I personally think that it would've been better if it was Lord Ambrose who made the chandelier fall and the Phantom was the one making the final sacrifice. *SPOILER END* The sidekick was totally a filler, and the Phantom was way too nice and didn't have any moving motives at all. The relation between characters was quite weird. I've seen better versions (Check out 1990 miniseries version. You won't regret it) but overall was watchable. Sit back and enjoy, Phans.

Wholehearted performances and wonderful designs, not to mention very impressive music, make this a highly memorable, charming, enjoyable adaptation. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Emily P I have to be honest it’s not The Phantom of the Opera unless it takes place in 1870 and the characters have the names that Leroux gave them in his novel and The phantom was disfigured like how it was written in the book. These changes that they did for the 1943 version, this version and the 1998 version just make me want to scream. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Alexander C The Story lacks the pathos of the Leroux Original, but there's a lot to like. The production is one of Hammers best. Terence Fisher, as usual, polishes the film with his skill. But the cast is the thing, wherein you'll find Herbert Lom is the king. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/27/24 Full Review Chris M Honestly this is one of the best version of the story. As the Phantom wasn’t a craze killer, in most versions no reason. He wasn’t obsessed with Christine but honestly wanted to help her become a better singer. He felt more mentor not stalker. The true villain is the “dwarf” that took the Phantom in after his near fatal accident. I say dwarf because he’s too talk to be called dwarf. Overall, this is one of the best versions after the classic silent. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/16/24 Full Review Brad P Beautifully shot, acted, and written Hammer has nailed what I feel is the best version of Leroux's tale yet, anchored firmly by a strong performance from Herbert Lom Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
