The music was love. The visuals were nice. But...somehow the movie totally left me cold. I didn't feel a whole lot of emotion while watching it. I'll probably end up buying the soundtrack though because some of the songs were just beautiful.

My feelings on the movie are that it was pretty good. I went to see a live preformance back in high school which was wonderful and I have the original london cast soundtrack. The movie threw me off a bit because they spoke some of the dilouge that had been sung previously. They also added in more from the book. Also the guy who played the phantom had the roughest sounding voice in places. I've never heard anyone sing the part like that. A friend of mine had a copy of another cast recording. So I had heard 3 other cast before seeing the film. I'd say over all it was good. I wouldn't buy it. I'll stick with my soundtrack.

I've vowed that one day I will have to see Phantom of the Opera on the stage. I have to admit that I'm having a very tough time not envying those of you that have already seen the stage production :sweat:

I also recently watched Gerard Butler in Dear Frankie and I've reached the conclusion I'm now a total fangirl. *sighs* Stoopid PoTO movie, starting me off on a new, quite probably unhealthy fixation..

I loved the movie....of course I've never seen it on stage *shame on me* but I just love the whole story and the music is so lovely ^^

Yeah you should definatley see it. =) I was lucky I got to go. In high school the music department went to a music festival to compete in San Fransico. And we got to go see it on stage. Only professional musical I've seen. i loved it.

The movie didn't disapoint me though like Evita did. I grew up listening to my moms record of the cast with Mandy Pantakin. And the movie really sucked compared to the the records my mom had. The singing was too weak.
