anna234cn Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 (edited) I just watched The Phantom of The Opera. It was so great. The pictures, the songs, actors, actresses, the logic and costumes of the moive are all wonderful. Of course, it was very very ROMANTIC and made me filled with tears. But my friend thought it's quite boring. So what do you think? Do you like the movie? Or you like live show of The Phantom of The Opera more?

davethailand Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 The movie would'nt be in the same league as the live performance, I've seen it twice and although i'm not a fan of that sort of thing, it was great. My girlfriend at the time worked for Cameron Mackintosh so i was subjected to quite a few plays, Good though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunPadThai Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I am with your friend. I found it excruciatingly boring: bad music, bad screenplay, bad actiing, bad directing. Pretty much a clean sweep. Real opera can be so much better. But musicals can be good, too. "Chicago", for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketrichard Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I thought it was very good. Took my 10 year old and her 8 year old friend and they both loved the music and story line. Thought is was only a little scary Not as good as the broadway production but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephanbkk Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Saw the live production in New York years ago and in London last year. The movie - enjoyable but of course not in the same league as the the play. Was fun to see a more indept luck at where the Phantom lives and really enjoyed the opening from black and white to color. Plan on seeing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jai Dee Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Loved the show but the film version was disappointing. If you get a chance... go see "Cats". Brilliant!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davethailand Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I saw Cats when it first came out, brilliant, also starlight express. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I saw Cats when it first came out, brilliant, also starlight express. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I saw the revised Starlight express when they changed the show about 10 yrs ago but for me there is nothing better than watching either Phantom in one of the front stalls at Her Majesty's theatre (5 times) or Miss Saigon when it was showing in London when I saw it four times. Also seen Miss Saigon in Singapore when the Australian cast toured Asia. Cats never appealed to me but probably the best non musical show I have ever seen in the west end was the first time I saw Paul Mckenna's hypnotic show at the Duke Of Yorks Theatre when he was still a Capital Radio DJ. Absolutely the funniest thing I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
