Better than Broadway

2008-06-30
The director took pains to cast Christine and Andrew Lloyd took the time and money to make this production definitive. This DVD melds the exquisite music with an improved and expanded script to make it completely satisfying. You will love this DVD.

Book, Film, THEN Stage

2008-06-20
I am a huge fan of the original novel Phantom of the Opera. When this film came out, I had not bothered to see the stage production, because I generally don't care for productions that are based on books.

Anyway, I ADORED this film. I thought it was a wonderful adaptation of the book. The actors, the sets, the costumes, and the music were all very appropriate and entertaining. I have the whole soundtrack on my iPod. That's how much I love it.

After seeing this film I saw the stage production and was highly disappointed. I wouldn't see that again for free.

I think it's unfortunate that so many theater purists are giving this film terrible reviews. I'm willing to bet most of them haven't read the original French novel.

The Phantom of the Opera, from Andrew Lloyd Webber.
You need to go to Majestic musical theater, see the Broadway show first, and only then watch a DVD. You'll remember my recommendations when you revers the order.
Thank you,

Powerful!

2008-06-15
I love the story of the Phantom of the Opera, and have seen it live three times. However, the movie is just as powerful, if not more so, than the theater because the movie gives you more story line and is easier to understand. This is one that will stay with you!

Excellent!!!!

Thank you! This movie is fantastic. I love Gerrard Butler in this film. I've already seen it 20 times as I keep hoping the ending will change and the Phanton will "get the girl."

I thank you very much for my product. Completely satisfied. I tried as soon as I received it to get online to give a Great Review, which was very prompt but could not get online. thank you for your patience and for your good sale! I highly recommend any others looking your way for a purchase.

hot and silly

2008-07-08
ah, a hot phantom, a most lovely girl and a prince charming adds up to a beautifully cinamated story. I wish I could have helped with the editing though, snip-snip no Minnie Driver. Likewise that business of "hands to the level of your eyes" -what was that about?
But I love it and if you don't you're just not a fan of fantasy and music intertwined. Or maybe you like your fantasy and music done in animation ala Sleeping Beauty.

We've memorized every line!

This is a well written, well performed musical that has brought us many hours of viewing pleasure. Andrew Lloyd Webber's score is incredible and the 100-piece orchestra lends it such grandeur. This is the type of "opera" anyone will enjoy. Also a lot of fun for amateur psychiatrists to analyze the characters. We have literally watched it so many times that we have the whole dialogue (including song lyrics) memorized!
