VHS : The Phantom of the Opera
Rating: 
- As good as the play!
First of all, the production of the film is as good as the play itself! Now, having the chance to see it in Blu-ray gives you the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful experience almost in a live-like stage.
Rating:
- If youve ever seen the Broadway performance...
then you will have to be disappointed by this film. Or if you are cynical, somewhat of a purist when it comes to movie adaptations, you will have great cause to laugh and poke fun. The movie is visually decedent in many aspects, but the singing? First of all, the phantom's modern rock star voice doesnt help the fact that he cant carry notes worth a damn. And emily whats her name who plays Christine cannot hit high soprano without wavering and pinching her voice in a cringe-worthy performance. But yes, her skimpy nightgown and sexual suggestiveness when the phantom takes her down to his lair is hilariously ridiculous. Plus the eyelid fluttering during "point of no return"- subtlety is not an issue here. The first star was for some of the costumes and visual effects: the second? Because this film is more fun to make fun of than any of the films ever featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000
Rating: - Great
This film is great. I love the music from Phantom and this movie is a fun version of the play. Even with it's weaknesses (sound editing is pretty bad and the Phantom's voice isn't perfect) it is a good rendition of the classic musical.

the dvd was amazing and the time they shipped it to me was great it was delivered very fast
Rating:
- Visually stunning but miscast
Gerard Butler's singing made me cringe. Actually, he didn't sing as much as shout in a role that demands an excellent tenor. It killed a movie for me that otherwise was very good. You can do Professor Harold Hill with a non-singer but not the Phantom. Patrick Wilson did a fine job as Raoul. Emma Rossum had youth and innocence applicable to the role, and her singing is passable but immature, not surprising given that she was 18 when she made it. That Webber picked her personally shocks me since there are better singers. Throughout the movie I longed to hear Sarah Brightman but not as much as I wanted to hear Michael Crawford.
