The number one thing that we must remember about This Film that I think separates it from the musical is the fact that Joel made the character of the Phantom in to more of a tragic lover not a madman. Raoul took something from him and the phantom wanted it back at any cost. What would a man not do for love? I was so angry that the Phantom didn't get Christine in the end!! Will they ever make a happyverse version where the Phantom gets everything he wants? cause that would be nice. Anyways the Critics once again have no idea how to critique this film. Its been getting unfair reviews. Its nice to see something classical is still popular. I didn't know Emmy Rossum or Gerard Butler could sing. I hated Raoul played by Patrick Wilson although he sang well. Why would christine pick boring, ordinary,predictable, more likely to cheat, whimpy Raoul over the hot, sexy, powerful, strong, beautiful, seductive, unique and different Phantom? She was foolish. I liked how he redeemed himself in the end, I wonder what happens to him after he escapes the theatre. He is so hot and beautiful. I Love Gerard Butler he did the role justice. the supporting cast was great too. I get a rush every time I hear the music. I am buying this movie as soon as it comes out on DVD.
