New Phantom movie

[SoliDeoGloria <><]

It's not really fair just to write the actor who plays the Phantom off just because he isnt Crawford. That would put quite a few Broadway and West End stars out of a job.

I agree with you Kilted Stranger, however, I have been a little concerned that since I've already heard THE phantom sing the part, that it might make the movie less enjoyable not necessarily because he's a worse singer, but because I'm used to the other. Did it seem a great shock to you when Gerard Butler started singing, like was it really distracting from the movie? I've heard a few clips and his voice sounds a lot lower then Micheal Crawfords. I'm not predudice against him singing the part or anything, but having already heard it sung so many times by Micheal Crawford, it seems like Butler's voice would distract somewhat from the film and the original ALW story.

yeah, i hear what you are saying. To be honest i havnt really seen Crawford play the Phantom.l But having seen the film there is so much to be lost in. The set and Costumes are superb, i would urge you to go and see it, at least then you've had the chance to see.

Who knows? perhaps you will hear Crawford singing instead of Butler.

I cannot wait for this movie. For the first time in my life, I wanna go visit my grandparents in DC this Christmas so I can see it..Cus otherwise, I'll have to wait till January 21st cus I doubt my city will be one of the select ones. But yes..I am very very excited for this movie. Yippee!

i thought Butler did a superb job as the Phantom. His rough vocals and character seem to be more like the Erik in the book. overall the movie was great!
