Ratings and reviews

I'm at a loss The acting and visuals are great (other than Eric's face bc it looks like bad acne scars) but I can't get over the horrendous vocals, how ALW let this happen I don't know, but I'm glad I only rented it, I can't deal with the thought that I could have spent $15 on this, I'd rather watch the 'musical' episode of Riverdale. Also the people glorifying Eric and Christine's relationship needs serious therapy. Edit: if you want to actually watch Phantom, rent or buy the 25th anniversary

Honestly, I don't need to read the book because I enjoyed the movie so much. A lot of the songs were so good and memorable such as point of no return, Masquerade, and All I Ask of You. There are people who say that the people in the movie weren't talented singers but even then it sounded really good for me. I watched some scenes of the actual play and I honestly prefer the way the Phantom sounds and sings in this movie.

I watched it one time at school and it instantly became my favorite movie. The phantom ( Gerard Butler) is so cute. I'm not going to spoil it but I 100% recommend watching this movie. I can't get my mind off the Phantom ( Gerard Butler ) he is so hot. He is such a great singer. The music got stuck in my head I love it sooooooooooooooooooooo much. I can't even explain how much I love the phantom OMG.
