Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004)

Cast: Gerard Butler (The Phantom), Emmy Rossum (Christine), Patrick Wilson (Raoul)
For complete cast info, see The Phantom of the Opera page.

As someone who loved the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical in high school, I was very excited to hear that the film version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera was finally happening.

Fortunately, I was not disappointed by this version. I was confused by the moving of the crash of the chandelier, but I guess they did it to make the end of the movie seem more dramatic. I was bummed that some of my favorite interludes are now spoken, but I anticipated this in the move to screen and it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would.

Emmy Rossum does an amazing job as Christine. Her opera background was very apparent. On a whole, I'm just so happy to see movie musicals coming back as a genre. I hope this trend continues.

Grade: A-

I am in high school right now and not many people find The Phantom Of The Opera interesting the least bit so please do not compare things in this manner. I though love it and have a box set of opera by Andrew Webber.....
