[MademoiselleMary]

This review = <3.

The Phantom of the Turtleneck Sweater!!

[Wykletypl]

A quasi-documentary about POTO, and still Christine is depicted as a brunette.

Leroux clearly says that Christine is a blonde!

How the hell could they make so many adaptation of the book, and not make the main characters as they should have been!?! The only ones that I know show Christine right is the 43 and 90s films, and a pinball.

And the Phantom - a 50 year old, walking skeleton as in the book... never shown like this.

[ghelik1890]

@Wykletypl i think that Christine is usually brunette, because if she was blond, people would consider her character as a flat- stereotipical - incarnation of the dumb blond, and that for the maincharacter in a movie that's suposed to be 'serious' isn't all that good. Also I think they don't get the phantom right so that people will be drwan to the maincharacter phisically and lure young and unsuspecting audience to the cinema(see PotO 2004)

[jazzandmint]

Gaston Leroux is probably facepalming in his grave at this ridiculousness. :)

[inmoderate]

I bet the secret was that Christine was the Phantom.

[ya0ish3lly]

WTHWT?!

[PhantomSammy]

Who's doing your Christine's voice? She's awesome. :D (And so are you.)

[TheCamoTurtle]

@PhantomSammy he knows hes awesome ;D

[learnofme]

knowing david copper field from his shows he used to do i think that the ending would have been the usual is it real or just your imagination you figure it out and then somepoint during the credits explain that it was all fake and all that jazz... love your reviews

*Christine runs away*

*Christine pauses*

*awkward two minute silence*

*Christine runs away*

[littlesongbird1]

Reviewer: Christine is sweedish

[thecopykidofthestarz]

Counter parts on chandelier?

Counter waights!

[littlesongbird1]

@thecopykidofthestarz

weights

[moonfire41]

I'm sure they had to keep stopping the camera after each flight of stairs ran so they could catch their breaths.

[SirThinks2Much]

"Lobotomized gazelle" HA! nice one.

[dbzpirate]

"OMG! IT'S THE PHANTOM OF THE....turtle neck sweater...." lol thats funny!

[pirateANDelf]

that makes me laugh every time!!!

[ThePhantomSafetyPin]

@dbzpirate Beware his soft wool warmth!

[thecopykidofthestarz]

Phantom, its counter waights.

oh and dont kill me.

[DemonaKittren]

The movie was completely cornball but I loved the shots of the opera.

[angeluscapricorn]

I thought that the true Christine Daae was Christine Nilsson, as the legend says... HAHAHA, David Copperfield realy made a funny documental.

[Hasselhoffhater]

You are right that Daae was based on Nilsson who was claimed to have the voice of an angel. Too bad that we'll never know what she really sounded like.

[moulinrye]

I love your reviews....just wonderful!

[RJDaae]

Hilarious as always!

Speaking of historical inaccuracy, I'm pretty sure that the Opera's Chagall ceiling was painted in the 1960s...

[phantomsmusic2009]

This movie looks dumb...I guess I won't waste my time watching it. Awsome review though! So you might review other films?...My sister and I were watching Creepshow and thought it would be awsome if you did a review on that movie!

[SashaArcain]

Oh God.

[CodysPivotShorts]

best reviewer on youtube

[phantomzeroex]

Perhaps Copperfield is telling the true story. Perhaps that really was the remains of Erik's lair. What if the Opera Grainier fially let the cat out of the bag but in a way no one would beleive so they wouldn't get publicity. these questions swim threough my brain as I sit in my dark room. I think to myself: the world may never know. MUUWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

sorry with all the organ music in the video I felt I just needed to let that laugh out.

[MadLizzy1]

"I dunno. 'Twit' seems like a good word to me." (*ML snortlaughs*) BTW, did lahROU say, "pasttime" instead of "passtime"? Don't answer that! God forbid anyone would pause the video and listen to him say it again!

[nihaldubhe27]

Are yuo a fan of the ghost of?

[HachiRoku4586]

I'm glad Christine got to chip in here and there- I'd love to hear more about what she thought of her various portrayals.

[lshield1]

Yet, another great review! This "documentary" looks awful! I hate the DC's streaming of consciousness? What happened to Christine? The picture looks new, and the Phantom looks horrid. Can't the media give the Phantom a break?

[KryssLaBryn]

LOL I remember this. Actually, I should still have it on VHS somewhere, although I'm not sure what shape it's in these days.

Yes, good lord, it was terrible. The only good thing about it was that at least it did show a lot of the interior of the Garnier.

But yeah... The ceiling above the chandelier on Gaston's tour is the one from the 1960s as well, lol. And dammit, couldn't they have found a blonde Christine?? Just once???

"Lobotomized gazelle" XD Or was that "Giselle?" Ballet costume etc.

[Biskuits]

I would have been satisfied with a SWEDISH Christine, blond or no XD

[Yellowbulma]

You both are very funny ^^

[canelongno1]

ok whoever gave me that thums down oviously is that gulabul to beleave this supid documentory, if thats wat you gave it to me for, coz really the acting is so unconvincing, the script is awful and the oh so true facts are sooo NOT true and they couldnt even be bothered to use a real photo of the actual leru, or however you spell his name

[wiggydeville]

hilarious review on utter shite! How can DC even call that a documentary!? It was like a patronising story time. Awesome videos dude, can't wait for the next!

[doomfeather]

i particularly appreciate the ENORMOUS shoulder pads David puts into everything, even flimsy white shirts. he must be skinny as a rail!

this show looks truly terrible. i thank you for sitting through it, and for the great review!

[ArtiAngel3]

"If I was that stupid, I would probably shoot myself before you did."

I love you Christine. Thank god she finally go ONE good person to write her.

[tico8007]

this looks like the worst phantom movie/ spin off ever made, it looks like the kind of film they show you in grade school

[CancerousPiesRTasty]

my french teacher said that the correct pronunciation of raoul is the two syllable pronunciation-i'm not sure how to spell it phonetically...the pronunciation that isnt "rall"/emmy rossum pronunciation.

[canelongno1]

god how stupid do these people think the public are jesus.

and can you ples tell wat ypur going to do after youve finished these revews on the phantom? if you do dracula next that would be awsom

[kariswho]

omg it looks crap

but your video makes it very funny

[kriitikko]

:P Never heard of this "documentary", now hoping I never would have. Still your reviews are great, and it's nice to let Christine speak also. What next? "Phantom Lover"? Dario Argento's infamous version?

[Hasselhoffhater]

Maybe Phantom Lover since it was released in 95 while the dario argento's version was in 98.

[PhantomReviews]

Schedule is : Another suprise special, Phantom Lover, Argento. REST! Then I'll probably take a look at Phantom of Manhatten.

[nihaldubhe27]

Pro ,know what I want from youis only that yuo're a fan the pahntom of the opera because yuo have so many videos.

[RebelFounderOdogoo]

arrr no no no you must never leave us!!!! *jumps on you*

also I can't wait to the Phantom of Manhatten review. I am looking forward to it even more then Argento. And if you really want to ruin the 2004 version read that book then what the movie and see how the shit got changed so the crap in the book would make sence when it is made it's sequal.

[stitchgrl777]

Seriously. Phantom of Manhattan = bad "phan phic" come to life.

[RebelFounderOdogoo]

not only that but it also rapes what could have been a good movie. If i am in new york whne it opens i am going to go and try and see it cause i have to see how fucked it is going to be

[Enabsflow1]

Is there any magic in this? No? This is more redundant that Twilight!

[SloeEyedDoe]

Love Christine's little growl at the beginning and all her interjections throughout the review. Yay Christine! I've never heard of this version, but I guess there's a reason for that.

[DragonFlyHero]

This is my first time commenting on one of your reviews, but I've been watching them for a while. For some reason, I absolutely love the fact that Christine finally helped review. Are you actually going to stop after the Argento film? I'm sure you could find some movie at least partially based off the Phantom...

[Alia101]

Actually there are a few other movies he could still choose from after that:

The Chipmunks - Phantom Of The Rock Opera

The Phantom of the Ritz

The Phantom Lover

The Phantom of the Megaplex

[PhantomReviews]

Thanks for commenting. Theres one or two things I intend to do after Argento. I'll do a few specials on the books, and maybe look at movies like "The Man who Laughs" and "Hunchback".

[smarterthanmyclass]

i think u should do a special review for the man who laughs, it looks pretty interesting

[PhantomReviews]

I did, its in Phantom Spinoffs 2 I think.

[smarterthanmyclass]

oh yea.... btw did u kno they made a woody woodpecker cartoon episode with the phantom of the opera?

[azamtiger]

There was even an episode in the cartoon series "Les Tres Bessones" (The Triplets):

episode 62 was about the Phantom of the Opera.

[pepe10282002]

@PhantomReviews TRIVIA: did u know that the chandelier did really did crash? it crashed on may 20 1896

[PhantomReviews]

@pepe10282002 No it didnt, it was the counterweight from the chandelier
