#Phantom of the opera movie 2004 movie#
In practically every case (with an exception being PATRIOT GAMES), the books are better or at least I can't stop myself from unfavorably comparing the movie to the book. Generally, I am a real purist when it comes to movies made from books. Reviewed by MartinHafer 9 / 10 Just like other versions of the book, don't expect it to be THAT close to the original story Apart from these flaws, a truly beautiful film, one that is dark and sad, and one that is once seen never-forgotten. My only complaints are that the film is a little too long, and also in Angel of Music particularly, there were times when the lips of the actors weren't in time with the singing. The film does have some truly sad moments, like Christine at the grave yard and of course the heart-rending ending, though I didn't understand it when I first saw it. I liked the performances of Patrick Wilson, Miranda Richardson and Minnie Driver(as Carlotta). The performances are excellent, Gerard Butler quite terrifying as Phantom, and Emmy Rosum as beautiful as ever as Christine.
People have complained that the film has too much music, almost all of it is sung, but it is a musical, set in an opera house bear in mind. The music is just wonderful, with dark and poignant melodies and motifs that fit the very dark story, not to mention sad. Joel Schummacher's direction is very good in this film, it is hard to believe that this is the same director who directed the disastrous Batman and Robin. Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 8 / 10 Lavishly-designed, with wonderful music!Īndrew Lloyd Webber's stage hit is given justice in this sumptuous film version, that benefits from stunning sets and extravagant costumes, making the attention to detail evident here. Will Raoul, the Vicomte, be able to stop this dastardly plan?
The Phantom is outraged by their love and kidnaps Christine to be his eternal bride. Meanwhile, His pupil falls in love with the Vicomte de Chagny, but the Phantom is in love with Christine, his student. The ghost demands they keep giving his protégé lead roles. The girl is able to sing lead one night but the soprano doesn't want her show stolen so she comes back. He finally drives the lead soprano crazy so she and her friend leave. Begins when an opera ghost terrorizes the cast and crew of the French Opera House while tutoring a chorus girl.
