PHANTOM OF THE OPERA 2004 IMDB MOVIE

Unless YOU can sing opera music in 7 different languages and used to be/are a professional opera singer then you shouldn't say that this movie is the worst ever. They are two TOTALLY different types of acting and in no way should be compared to one another. There is NO comparison between a stage play and a Movie. You people who are judging the movie to the Broadway version, shouldn't. Patrick Willson I wasn't too fond of but he did a great job none the less.

She was perfect for the part the same as Mr.Butler was perfect for the Part of the Phantom. As for Emmy Rossum, she makes a wonderful Christine. Once again, I believe the original in this venue was the best: Michael Crawford.What are you people thinking when you say it wasn't a good movie?!?!? You must be insane!! Gerard Butler is, in my opinon, the best singer in the movie considering he had no previous experince in singing (that I know of anyway) and his voice was so captivating that it made me want to What are you people thinking when you say it wasn't a good movie?!?!? You must be insane!! Gerard Butler is, in my opinon, the best singer in the movie considering he had no previous experince in singing (that I know of anyway) and his voice was so captivating that it made me want to become an actress and sing so well that it captivates the audience like he did. The second best 'Phantom' portrayal and wonderful in its own way is the STAGE musical, NOT the 2004 movie. Chaney also made valuable contributions behind the scenes as well, thank goodness! It's a fact that Chaney and Julian did NOT get along, and I've heard that it was actually Chaney himself who directed the unmasking scene (among a few others) and who also insisted that all advance advertising had the unmasked Phantom's face covered).įor my next Phantom thrill, I'm looking forward to a full-size theater showing (usually found around Halloween) with complete theater organ accompaniment! Nonetheless I wanted to give the film 5 stars for what saves and immortalizes it: Chaney's great performance, supported best by the wonderfully creepy, shadowy atmosphere that is the Phantom's territory. Lest I sound like a blind admirer, know that I very much disliked the oft-mentioned 'wooden' performances of Mary Philbin and Norman Kerry (Christine and Raoul respectively), as well as the botched, horrible direction by the mediocre director Rupert Julian, or the tragical re-editing and cutting of the original footage. For all the jaded folks used to modern CGI and horror effects, NO one still has accomplished anything like The Man of 1,000 faces Lon Chaney did here. My father first saw the original release in 1925 as an 11-year-old boy, and confirmed that the audiences indeed were scared out of their wits with screams, faintings, and general histronics.

To fully appreciate it, one must try to avoid being over-exposed to the now-commonly-seen unmasked face of the Phantom, and know something about the times in which it was made. A must-see film for anyone who loves the REAL Phantom of the Opera, Lon Chaney Sr., horror film history, or all of the above! I finally watched this movie again after 24 years of Chaney's Phantom scaring me nearly to death but I love the Phantom character and love silent movies, so I'm glad love conquered all and I finally got to see it AND enjoy it!
