What I liked: I loved the music!!! All of the singing and orchestra was just fantastic. I would almost classify this version as a musical. I liked the two suitors. I think they brought a much needed comic relief. I loved the costumes. The dresses were beautiful.
What I didn't like: I didn't like the way he became the phantom. I mean, I would have felt more sorry for him if he'd been born that way instead of being doused with acid. I had a rough time believing such a mild mannered man would just snap and kill someone and then start on a killing spree. I just didn't feel for him. I think he was a fool for giving all his money away for Christine's lessons without her knowing, thinking that she'd love him for it.
Other Notes: I think what it comes down to is that I liked the everything but the storyline or at least the changes in the storyline from the book.
The Phantom
The Phantom without the mask
Christine
The two suitors - Raoul and Anatole
Sing for me!
The catacombs crumbled and crushed the phantom and yet, his violin and mask are left so artistically after all of the commotion.
