Excellent but underrated film

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The movie is entertaining. I think it is well put together and the cast does well. Musically, it leaves something to be desired, but to just sit back and watch, you won't be disappointed.

A musical? Can it really be that good? Yes It can and it is. This movie has a dramatic plot and the filming styles really helped stress that. There are a lot of close ups and medium close ups that really display the passion and emotion between the so seen love triangle of the Phantom, Christine and Raul. This movie proved to be very powerful, from the music and characters to the messages that it sent. One of the many powerful scenes in this movie are near the end of the movie when things are getting chaotic and Christine is venting to Raul and laying it all out there and Raul sings this beautiful song to her that comforts her and then they kiss. This scene is what really sells you on this couple. It shows his deep love for her. The moral message of this is that we should be careful how we treat those who are different from us. We don't know what they went through, the trials they have had. The other thing that I learned from this movie is that music can stir up emotions like no other. I truly believe you can not watch this movie with out feeling anything. The internal conflict of this movie is both pride and ignorance. The owners of the opera house were too prideful to listen to the demands of the much wiser and cunning Phantom who made them pay dearly for that. This movie was captivates, moves, and teaches you. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it. 9/10 for me.

Undeniable, this movie is the best ever! I've seen a lot of plays, but this one was amazing, much better than the real musical.

The Phantom of the Opera is a musical. It is set in Paris in a theater in 1881. The main actors are: Gerad Butter and Emmy Rossum. The acting and special effects are very good. I really liked the whole film but my favorite scene was the scene with the fire. The music is the best thing about the film and the plot is very interesting. by jim
