Phantom of the Opera. Yes or no?

[Silvanis]

Well, what are your thoughts?

[Silvanis]

Hello?

[K. Ayato]

If you mean the musical, then yes, I love it. If you mean the film, forget it.

[FadedOne]

^ shame on you. the movie was lovely!

Absolutely love it. Saw this movie about a month ago. Became obsessed lol, even bought the soundtrack.

[Radical Dreamer]

Love it. Love it, love it, love it. I saw it three times in theaters, have the 2-disc soundtrack, and own the 2-disc dvd. It's beautimous. I lurf it!!! ^_^

[mechana2015]

Well, while I think it is an excellent score and story, I am not a raving drooling fanboy of the musical. I love it. Not with an exclamation point though.

And a quick note... its a school day so most people ain't gonna be repondin' too fast, 'specially considering the demographic of the board.

[Silvanis]

Yay! I am a huge fan of musical and movie. I'm glad I'm not alone!

At night he sang to me,
in dreams he came.
That voice which calls to me,
And speaks my name.
But do I dream again?
For now I find,
the Phantom of the Opera is there, inside my mind.

WHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEE I lovesh this movie!! But I curse it as well!! For now, I LOVE romance...(I have loving romance..and yet..I LOVE LOVING ROMANCE!!) *turns into a tiny chibi and cries* Life is sooooooo confusing...*

Actually I really really loved this movie..I think the scene that made me go..WOW was the opening scene where the stage lights ingited and caused Color to overflow the black and white..imo THAT WAS AMAZING!! and from there it just built on that amazing...

Not too wild about the whole Lust thing..but other than that..it was AN AWESOME MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOT!! I give it an 8.5/10

[The Last Bard]

I didn't enjoy it too much to say the least... But it was an intresting movie all the same!

And hopefully you won't get this topic deleted...Because it should be
"In the Spotlight" section.

[Silvanis]

Oops.

[K. Ayato]

I'll only say this one more time. BRAD LITTLE SHOULD HAVE PLAYED THE PHANTOM IN THE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Silvanis]

heeheehee

[EireWolf]

I responded to the poll before I realized you were talking about the movie. I was talking about the musical. 'Twas good.

[Silvanis]

I agree, both are good. I did the poll for both, so your vote was not in vain.

[the_lizardqueen]

I need the movie soundtrack so badly!!! *whimper*

In case it isn't already really obvious, I voted for the 'loved it' option ^_^

[Rita]

Well, I am completely in love with the musical stage version, or more particularly, the Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford version (aka the original cast). I've got the highlights soundtrack, the complete coundtrack, I've read the book about 1000 times (slightly different to the musical, but still great, and very enlightening), and I know all the words to the songs.

However, I was a tad dissapointed by the movies. Don't get me wrong, I got shivers when the music started st the beginning, and the colour came in and the chandelier lifted up, and the sets and costumes and props were amazing! However I was really dissapointed with the three main characters - Raoul, Christine and the Phantom. I just don't like Raoul's hair, his voice is amazing, but as for the other two, well I guess no one really compares when you're used to the original cast.

[Silvanis]

I can't find the soundtrack anywhere either. T_T

I agree entirely. I wasn't TOO disappointed by Raoul's hair, but Michael Crawford IS the Phantom and I adore his voice so much, it's difficult to accept any substitutes. x3; The first thing I asked my mom when she told me the movie was coming out was "Is Michael Crawford gonna come back and be the Phantom!? <3"

[Ashley]

My thoughts are that this is the totally wrong board. Next time it will be deleted.

[Silvanis]

I was told it was in the wrong board, but couldn't figure out how to move it. I'm sorry.

[Radical Dreamer]

Well, having never seen the Broadway stage production, the movie was my first time seeing it...I was absolutely amazed. I think that Emmy Rossum (Christine Daae) has the most beautiful voice, and the rest of the cast sings and acts incredibly well. I can't even choose a favorite scene in this movie; I love the whole thing! When I saw it the first time, I wanted to clap at the end of "Think of Me." I nearly forgot I was in a movie theater! <<^_^' I'm sure the Broadway production is magnificent, and I really want to see it, but for now, I'll have to settle for the film. Hey, even if it is second best, it's still top-notch entertainment in my book! ^_^ My cell phone ringtone is actually Gerard Butler singing "The Pha-a-a-antom of the Opera is there....Inside your mind!" XD Sugoi...Sugoi!

[Scribs]

never seen it

[Vash is a plant]

I LOVE IT!!!!! AHHHHH!!!! *dies* OMgoodness!!! The only musical that's better is Jesus Christ Superstar! They did such a great job with the movie! I love how in the beginning they have the whole thing with the color and the chandeleire (sp!) Sorry, didn't want to give anything away! ~.^ *drool* It's so good. The music is rapturous! The pictures are vibrant and beautiful!!!!! ^___________________^

I completely agree! When "Think of me" was over, I clapped enthusiasically and my friends stared at me strangely.

Sing once again with me,
Our strange duet.
And though you turn from me,
to glance behind.
The Phantom of the opera is there. Inside your mind

Question: did ne one else find Raoul very non-attractive? sry. i did.
Angel of Music...

[Rita]

I actually began to sing along to the movie in the cinema, and my didn't realise until my friend nudged me. Even then, I mouthed the words along with the movie for the whole thing. I couldn't help myself.

[Hephzibah]

Never EVER EVER see a movie with Rita... or atleast if you do, make sure someone is between you and her She almost always talks during the movie

[Radical Dreamer]

Hahaha! Been there before...XD
