This movie does a good job fleshing out the scenes that you may remember from the stage production. If you enjoy the music of Phantom at all, you should enjoy watching this film.

Amazing work, breathtaking visuals, excellent soundtrack, haunts you for days afterwards. Weber wanted a "rock and roll" voice for the Phantom, and while Butler is off at times, I think he fit the bill. Rossum was fantastic and played the part like a veteran of stage.

I saw this movie in the theaters and it blew me away! If you saw the stage show then you will love the movie. The singing will make your heart melt. The way the Phantom loved Christine it is a true romance. Gerard Butler is the Phantom the emotion he shows not only when singing but just talking is mind blowing. I like the stage show but I love this movie and the soundtrack. If your a true Phantom of the Opera fan then you want to see this movie.

It's not for everyone. I liked it although the story doesn't follow the original story. Music is wonderful. If you want dialogue, don't rent this one. If you like music, you'll probably enjoy it.

the singing was not all that great. could have been better. isn't the phantom supposed to be ugly and scarred? he also seemed way too young to play the part.

I have never been able to see the stage version, but now I don't think I want to. Special effects were magnificent. Music was exactly the same as I feel in love with so many years ago. Only flaw I found in the production is that I would have liked to have seen the actor from the broadway version play the Phantom.

The music was OK. It would have been better if I could have understood the words in the songs.
