Phantom of the Opera

Summary: Not That Bad
Review: This Phantom movie was pretty good.It had a good musical score,a good storyline and a pretty good Phantom.It was hardly the original Leroux story at all (wich I never liked that much anyway).The idea of acid being throne on him was a little far fechted.Lets face it.The chance of someoe surviving having acid thrown on them is very slim (especialy when it takes them five min. to wash it of).Plus I'm sure that the acid landed on his entire face and in his hair yet when he is unmasked only a small portion of the left side of his face has burned.Even then the burn looked like a bad rash.Now for the good things about the film.The cast of characters was interesting.Christine was normal exept her last name was changed.I also found it interesting that Cristine was envied by three men The Phantom, Raoule, and the tenor from the opera whose name slips my mind.I recomend this film to anyone who is obsessed with The Phantom of the Opera.

Summary: READ THIS REVIEW OR YOU WON'T EVER UNDERSTAND THE MOVIE!
Review: When I first saw the movie I thought to myself-Why do they call him a phantom? He's not a ghost. He's just a person who was deformed in an accident years ago when someone spilled acid on his face. And since they called him ugly, he moved under the opera house where he took revenge on others for what the accident had caused him.(this I know from reading the book)When I went to the Broadway play, Phantom of the Opera, I learned that he was called that because no one ever SAW him when he did something, they only noticed after he went back to his Laberinth.

He only loved Christine for her voice at first and then when she met Raoul (again) she paid no attention to the Phantom (real name-Erik). That ticked him off so much that,well.....he did something...............................................unpleasent. But you'll have to watch this wonderfull movie to find out what it is! The only reason I didn't give this movie 5 stars,in case your wndering, is beacause I am very critical and they could've portrayed the Phantom more like the lonely man in search of compassion more than a monster-like...thing. But that makes it much better if your going to watch it on a rain-stormy day or in the middle of the night on a Saterday or, by the time you've watched it, Sunday. (I am, as you can see and just as I told you before, very critical and very deep also for.....................................................................................................a twelve year old.) ENJOY!

Summary: Phantom Eh? More like the "Invisible Man."
Review: An utter Disgrace to the Book. The book mentions nothing about acid being thrown in Erik's face. Why is it hollywood ALWAYS Screws this Great book up? Only the 1925 Lon Chaney version has done the book any justice.

Summary: We need more Phantom and less opera
Review: Much like Chaney's version and Hammer's, Universal's phantom is off from the book and has it's problems, but it does have enough redeeming values to make it worth seeing. This Phantom shows us how the Phantom gets difigured and of his unspoken love for Christine prior to going into hiding. Because they spent some time leading up to the disfiguration, the parts where the Phantom terrorizes the opera house flow very nicely and make the film seem a little more fast paced for a while. Claude Rains is good, not Lon chaney,but good nad the supporting cast is fairly good. The conclusion of this film is far better than the ridiculously quick ending of the Chaney version. The sets and costumes are very strong, I thought I would miss the gloomy black and white I associate with old Universal horror films, but the vibrant colors are right for this version. I would have like to have seen a little more of the Phantom because I think by the time he gets interesting we are on our way to seeing his end. The other aspect of this film that keeps it from being a classic is the over abundance of singing, I mean Nelson Eddy does fine in his acting, but the singing is horrible and there is just way too much of it. They could have spent more time developing the main characters, but they chose instead to try to make this a musical horror film and that is where this film falls short. This film is not great, but it is worth seeing.

Summary: A good film
Review: It makes me want to cry at how Claude Rains' undying love for Christine makes his life a misery with losing all his money. Also it is funny along with the sadness. I love Claude Rains and found that he suited his role well as the notorious Phantom who prowls through the opera. I have yet to read the book, but i shall to compare them. One complaint i have is that there's too much opera singing. a little would have been fine, but there's just too much.

Summary: erm....
Review: I thought this movie was OK, bt it could have been better. Some scenes were unrealistic towards the end, but hey, it was 1943, they weren't able to do better, i think. but What Christine does in the end is quie interesting. I kinda liked the Phantom's mood swings though, one sec he's shy and quiet, the next time you see him, he's wacko. I wish, though that it had followed the story line a bit more.

Summary: A great movie if your into watching old classic horro movies
Review: The Phantom of the Opera is a good movie because some people don't like to watch some of todays horror movies. By watching a movie like this you still have good acting but, not a lot of horror and not alot of the things that can realy scare people.
