Just saw it last night! Wow, good movie! I was impressed. Not a "musical" at all. Don't know why I waited so long. |

I had the same experience. I owed my wife for a few things, and she pulled that card and made me rent, and then watch Phantom of the Opera with her. I was shocked that I really liked it. We'll probably buy it now. It's best if you have a good stereo or sound system to watch this movie with. Meh... small price to pay for a Kimber Warrior.

lol, great 'trade' and yes, I had the Dolby D EX going

| Andrew Lloyd Weber was going to make a Phantom of the Opera movie more than ten years eariler with the original Broadway cast Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman(who was married to Andrew Lloyd Weber at the time). They were still in the preliminary stage of producing a script when Sarah Brightman divorced Weber, so he canned the project. I guess after 10 years he decided to do it after all. |
I didn't know that Sarah Brightman was married to ALW. She has an amazing voice, and it's a shame that he didn't make the movie with her and Michael Crawford. Crawford's awesome as the Phantom. |
Not only was she married to Andrew Lloyd Weber but it earned her a lot of scorn from other Broadway actors and playwrights. A lot of people felt that she got the part because of who she was sleeping with and married to. However, ALW claims that he wrote the part of Christine with Sarah Brightman in mind, if it wasn't for her he might not have wrote the play at all. Interestingly enough, the reason that Brightman divorced Weber is because her agent finally convinced her that her marriage to him was hurting her career, so her decision to divorce him seems to have been a business decision. She is now married to a record label executive. You can form your own opinion on her motives. |
