Review of The Phantom of the Opera (2004) by Kara F — 04 Jul 2015
I used to be obsessed with this movie, and don't get me wrong, the scenery and vision behind the movie is spectacular. You couldn't achieve this level of sensationalism in the stage version. But it lacks what the stage version provides, which is usually wonderful performances.
Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum are decent singers but not ones that can carry this musical. They should have cast actual theatre/Broadway performers to stay true to that of what Andrew Lloyd Webber had achieved: a timeless piece.
