Review of The Phantom of the Opera (2004) by Janet I — 16 May 2014
Gerard Butler's performance is brilliant!!! Even 10 years later. A timeless classic that will stay in your heart forever!!
By Janet Iacolino.
He made him sexy, sad, scary,angry,bitter and vibrant and you got to know the phantom. In spite of his lust, manipulation and control, you end up loving the phantom anyway and how much he was in love with Christine. Gerard's voice "fit" this phantom perfectly. I wish he sees all the positives about his performance and ignore the critics negative, they are so shallow. They just don't get it. You felt the phantom's emotions all the time which brought us, the audience, deeper into the story and the phantom's personality. Acting with words, and singing a story are two different things, he was still able to bring out the characters emotions and that is a rare thing to see. His performance was brilliant. Even though I am posting this years after the movie was made and have the DVD,and watched it many times, this movie and soundtrack are still selling 10 yrs later. Never tiring to watch. Pertaining to the rest of the cast, a job well done!!
