This movie is good, but not. It's great to hear some of the songs since I remember some of them from an audio cd and from middle school. Most critics were right when they said that this movie does not translate well to movie standards. There were some moments which made no sense at all if you think movie-wise, but as a musical, it is still beautiful to hear.
There are a couple things that bothered me. The obvious is Gerard Butler. I'm sorry dude, but you can't sing for shit. The other thing is that the score still uses that damn synthesizer. They could have just opted just for symphonic sounds. My last frustration is who the fuck does she love? The phantom or Raoul? She kept on going back and forth, back and forth.........pick one already!
The high point of the film is, oh wow, Emmy Rossum. She is beautiful and can sing as well. Just amazing.
Next movie: The Machinist
