Every scene is lush and vibrant with color and spectacle. Considering how closely Butler resembles Antonio Banderas in this movie, I can't understand why the producers of this film didn't go for the much more charismatic Banderas, especially since he proved he could sing in the last film adaptation of an Andrew Lloyd Webber play, Evita. And while he manages to get adequately through the songs, the word adequate should never be the main adjective used to describe someone playing the lead in The Phantom of the Opera. However, Butler, in the title role, is a singer with no experience. Rossum is a classically trained opera singer and Wilson has performed in several Broadway musicals. With Emmy Rossum as Christine and Patrick Wilson as Raul, they chose well. In a movie where 95% of the dialogue is sung, you'd expect that you'd only chose actors who could sing, especially considering these demanding songs. When the Phantom's actions become more overt and sometimes deadly, as he senses that he is losing Christine to Raul, the love triangle comes to a head inside the Phantom's lair deep beneath the Opera House. However, Christine is in love with the young count Raul and she is deluded into thinking that the Phantom is the angel of music sent to guide her by her dead father. The Phantom haunts a Paris Opera House where he has fallen in love with Christine, a young singer whose career he has been secretly trying to boost. The plot is probably familiar to everyone.
The magic of the play seems to have been lost in the translation and been replaced by soulless spectacle that has more in common with a bodice ripping romance novel than a great tragedy. While the movie isn't a complete failure, it can hardly be considered a success.
Predator" based on the "Ancient Aliens" show? Q: I just watched the movie "Uncharted" with Tom Holland, and it felt like there was some kind of cameo toward the end: the guy who said, "Something like that happened to me once." Should I have recognized him? He didn't look familiar.Q: What has Emily Procter been doing since "CSI: Miami" ended?.What is heard is clearer than other dialogue and it doesn't match with the shapes her mouth is making. Q: I was watching "Octopussy" and it sounds as if some of Magda's lines have been dubbed over.
