Phantom of the Opera the movie

[strandinthewind]

I saw it today. If you like Webber, which I know not all do - you will LOVE the movie. Here is the website http://phantomthemovie.warnerbros.com/

I LOVE this soundtrack. I know it is melodramatic. But, I still love it.

Emmy Rossum, who plays Christine Daae - has a STUNNING voice and is just BEAUTIFUL to behold.

Patrick Wilson, who plays Viscount Raoul de Chagny (the love interest of Christine) does not have a per se bad voice - in fact, he does well with what he has. But, like Rossum, he is qually as beautiful to behold - AND the two of them together is eye candy and IMO great.

Sadly, Gerard Butler, who plays the Phantom, though nice looking, cannot sing IMO. Maybe others will like his voice though - the only good thing is he has power in it.

BUT - the scene stealer is Minne Driver as "Carlotta: the overwrought, overdone, tempestous, and transparent DIVA is without exception.

All in all a B to B+ in my book.

So, a must see for Phantom fans
