I would recommend this movie to anyone who may enjoy musicals - if you don't, then I rather think you would hate it (but then you are unlikely to be reading this are you?) All in all a wonderful night at the cinema, which I shall be repeating, and I will be buying the DVD when it comes out. My only minor detraction was with Gerard Butler, I just had this gut feeling that his voice just didn't quite have the power to portray the Phantom to the full extent but what do I know? I have no knowledge or training or background in theatre or singing, as I said it was just a feeling that I had myself. My wife and I saw the movie last night and were enthralled all the way through, the costumes and scenery were superb, and we both thought the performances were excellent. So along comes this movie and I was not sure what to expect, before going I said to friends that if it was half as good as the stage show then it would be marvelous, well it exceeded that - I would rate it at about 80% myself. Emmy Rossum began her career at seven years old in the children's chorus at the Metropolitan Opera in New York before making a name for herself in television. I have had the good fortune to have seen the stage production 3 times (twice at the Alhambra in Bradford and again 2 months ago at Her majesty's theatre in London) and would rate it as the best experience I have ever had in the theatre.
