Query: Very Disappointing.

If you are obsessed with the play and soundtrack, don't see this movie. Joel Schumacher's direction was terrible. Girard Butler, as the Phantom, is completely miscast. Minnie Driver, as Carlotta, saves the play. She is actually quite good. I had the feeling that she did not listen to the director at all and did her own thing, which worked well. Emmy Rossum is acceptable as Christine. The supporting cast is also decent. The script has several minor and major differences from the play. Those obsessed with the play and soundtrack will find even the minor changes annoying. Then again, the changes would have been acceptable if the acting and singing had been better; especially that of the Phantom who makes you cringe when he speaks or sings. Why did Andrew Lloyd Webber allow this movie to happen? whhyyy? whhyyy?
