There are many great setpieces where the combination of music and scenery blend quite well as the opera house does look impressive or the graveyard scene for example. I give a lot of credit to the main actors, Gerard Butler (as the Phantom) and the beautiful Emmy Rossum (who plays Christine), because they turn in excellent performances and performed their own singing. There is this '80s vibe to most of the songs which I think is all the more reason why it resonated with me, but I can that being a turnoff for some. I love the soundtrack and almost every song is a winner. Obviously the most important part of this film is the music which it accomplishes with great success. This film is hardly a faithful adaptation of the book or even anything remotely like the many other film incarnations, but it is a solid story in its own right it is actually just the film version of a play. Review: Once again, we have the rare musical that I actually enjoy. Plot Summary: A disfigured man haunts an opera house and will stop at nothing to win the love of a young, aspiring singer.
