Phantom of the Opera

I haven't seen the play but i've heard the soundtrack. The movie was faithful to the music. However, it reminded me of a dubbed chinese movie where the sound does not seem to coincide with the picture. It wasnt as if the actor was saying mouthing different words but the expression on the actors' faces and the intensity of certain parts of the songs does not jive. Still it was a 4 star movie for me. Loved the music. Minnie Driver and Emmy Rossum were great. The male leads werepassable.

Minnie Driver plays the obnoxious diva who thinks too much of herself. Emmy Rossum plays the ballerina who suddenly got the chance to play the lead when the diva throws a fit. Everything follows from there.

Check out the cinematography and the costumes. This movie is worth watching at least once.
