@TheNightcloudHATER: If you don't like it why do you watch it????? I think that this movie is nice. but really if you hate it WHY do you watch it?????? answer please
In the original play/show, christine IS scared of the phantom and raoul really DID save her by promising her safety and light! THIS MOVIE USED SEX APPEAL TO GET YOUNGER AUDIENCES LIKE YOU STUPID PHANTOM SUPPORTERS! GO SEE THE ORIGINAL PLAY!
@TheNightcloudHATER It's cute how you're raging over something as trivial as the following of a character like the Phantom. I like him because even though he's portrayed as this tragically dark, complex character, if you look hard enough it's easy to reason his actions. His entire life has been abuse, neglect, and loneliness. He meets Christine and believes her to be able to save him from himself. He simply becomes infatuated with her--that is, he fell in love with the IDEA of her.
uhmm Raoul loved christine when they were children but got separated, then meets again then love...the phantom was a murderer, creep, kinda crazy, he wasnt in love with christine for a long time unlike raoul... it seems that the phantom was the protagonist but he is the antagonist of this show based on the plot
@cjisavailable Yep, definitely a creeper, and probably not actually interested in her happiness if he's willing to tear her away from the man who she obviously loves. If the phantom was less attractive like he was in the Las Vegas show I saw, I have a feeling some people would change their opinion x__x
I personally loved the phantom as a character better than Raoul because he was way more complex and a bad-ass. However we have to remember that even though I hate Raoul as a character, the Phantom is the real villain. I mean I personally think he was an annoying character too, but the Phantom was a psychopath and a murderer. The book makes that point really clear, and before the movies came out, everyone hated the phantom. The two are so dis similar.
If you read the second book called love necer dies then you will see that christine was actually suppose to be with phantom. Raoul cheated on her and was a drinker. Phantom and christie had a child.
@tokidokikawii123 Love Never Dies was not written by Gason Leroux, the original author. If you read the actual story you'd find that what occurs in Love Never Dies couldn't have happened. Even Webber, who wrote Love Never Dies, says that he doesn't consider it a sequel to the book but a stand alone piece.
You kids don't know anything. Raoul was in love with Christine when they were children and then they were separated for years and Raoul didn't know where she was, that is why he is surprised/excited when he realizes that is her when she sings "Think of me". The phantom has loved her since she was working in the opera and heard her voice.
God. I feel so sorry for the phantom. To spend your whole life in the ruins of a theatre, wasting away, lonely. And then you finally find her, and you fall in love. Then this faggot comes out of the blue and you see everything you ever had slip away. Fuck Raoul.
@Fikelberry and you know he was the better of the two because he let her go even when he loved her. Raoul only got her because he had a cute face, it is a life like story if you really think about it.
I don't like Raoul. And I love the Phantom. But I must admit that Raoul is mildly clever. In the masquerade scene he is the ONLY character who even tried to go after the Phantom. nobody else even moved. Come on guys! There's the Phantom! Let's catch him so we can give him the hugs he deserves!
What makes Raoul so repulsive? He is very much like an innocent, sweet (kind of... not smart) puppy dog. Yes, the movie version of the Phantom is probably the best, most romantic character (until he tries to kill everyone) ever made up, but even in comparison, Raoul isn't a horrible character. Same with Carlotta. Annoying, yes. But she is absolutely hilarious.
Even though Raoul doesn't really believe Christine about the Phantom (but who, outside the Opera, would?), he does fight and care for her
Every time I hear this song, I feel like my heart is going to explode! THIS is what deep down every girl or woman wants. A man to protect, provide, lead and guide her. One love, one lifetime. Sigh!
@pettie090 i beleive that the reason for the hate towards raoul is the phantom has been in love with christine for years he had gave her singing lessons late at night as she grew up and he had fallen in love with her and she had fallen in love with the phantom the raoul shows up and she automaticall goes to himand the phatom became heart broken and it became a love triangle
@pettie090 He murdered a complete asshole. It's inane to defend him for doing that, but please note that he has no moral compass, he was abused and neglected as a child, and with losing Christine he lost all meaning his life had ever since he went into hiding.
Considering all that, that he didn't kill Raoul and left Christine to make that choice shows he was not as "evil" as you seem to want to portray him to be.
@Iced1992 He killed bouqet and yes that was a asshole but he also killed Piangi and i don't think that he is 'evil'. I only don't like him because he kills people
@Iced1992 p.s. That would be why she has the Phantom's child in Andrew Lloyd Webber's sequel he made for this play. "Love Never Dies". Look it up on Wiki.
@pettie090 that may be so but she hadnt seen raoul in so long then she juss automaticall goes right back to him thats what sent the phantom off the deep end
Not to mention that Phantom is kind of a deranged killer that will manipulate anyone and anything to get what he wants. I can totally picture him killing Christine in a fit of rage cause she didn't want to do something for him. This isn't to say I hate the phantom. I don't. I think it would be a great love story if Christine could bring him back from the brink. But it just doesn't work. And I know if ANY ONE OF YOU were in Christine's shoes, realistically you would pick Raoul every time. Done.
People need to get the notion out of their head that the phantom is "hot". Gerard Butler was a terrible casting decision for the Phantom. Not cause he's a bad singer, but cause he doesn't fit the part. For one thing, he had a face NOT EVEN a mother could love. For another, Madame Giry found him when she was young. This makes phantom at least TWICE Christine's age. Instead of Gerard Butler, think of a deformed Jack Nicholson.
Ok I've had enough of all the Raoul hating. Lets start with the "he only noticed her after she sang" argument...He's known her since she was a little girl. They grew up together..if anything the phantom didn't notice until after she sang. He didn't even know she EXISTED until she came to the opera house. Now lets think of it this way: Raoul can be a jerk, yes. He is effeminate, yes. But he truly does love Christine and care about her. He would die for her. Plus he is not deformed. Next, Phantom
Love is from within. You can't say you can't love someone because of a deformation. The Phantom only acts the way he does because he would do ANYTHING for her.
People hate Raoul for many different reasons. I think Raoul is a person without much sympathy. Remember what he said when he heard of the story of the Phantom. “Genius had become madness”(something like that). While for most people, we should have sympathy for him after hearing the story. He showed no sympathy.
the Phantom was selfish! and way older than Christine... but that is not the point! they had true love and the Phantom was willing to kill, lie, and keep Christine against her will because he "loved" her. She was the innocence he never had and a beauty he could never grasp.. Love, but in a sick twisted way until he lets her go and then it becomes kinda healthy. Raoul and Christine <3
I love how Raoul ONLY notices Christine after she sings, where as the Phantom has been in love with her for like....FOREVER! Pshhhh I'm Team Phantom! (Boo Team Raoul!) Lol :p
@MaryhadaLtmb123 The book has a better twist in my opinion. Raoul and Christine have been in love since kids and the phantom is this psychopath madman who thinks Christine can redeem him. :O Try it out
I really don't understand why Raoul gets so much hate. He really loved her and wanted to protect her ( don't even bring up Love Never Dies.. we all know that shouldn't even exist). The Phantom loved her, but it was more of an unhealthy love.
Aww, Raoul is really a sweetheart ^_^ I don't see why he's so hated, he truly loves her. So does Erik, but still. He shouldn't be hated for loving Christine.
I like both the Phantom and Raoul. But I'm happy the way the movie ended, because it was so sweet. <3 I will never tire of this movie. I watch it every Christmas, and I always will (^_^) BUT WHY'D YOU CUT THE SONG OFF?!
If you take this song out of the context of this musical, it's one of the sweetest romantic songs ever. In context, it's the most frustrating because majority of the audience wants Christine to end up with the Phantom. Either way I'm still a fan (though Raoul can still go fall down a hole)
I keep thinking that maybe I remembered Emmy's performance was worse than it really is, but then I watch videos like this...how the hell did she get this role? But then, I guess people were deluded into thinking Gerard Butler could pull it off too...
@IluvLegendofZelda the phantom was murdering people. i guess you probably have only watched this version of the story but if you knew the backstory between raoul and christine you'd like him more.
Let me start with this: "I love the Phantom" and I do think that Christine should have been with the Phantom but.. I do understand... I do love the phantom but Raoul and Christine were "childhood sweethearts" and if you were in a calm mood and you took off a handsome strangers mask, would you not be, even just the smallst bit, freaked out?.. I am upset about the ending but does it not make you think that it is a great start for "Love Never Die's?"
@LittleMissKarate Love Never Dies did not at all make sense, so not really. At the end of this movie, mind you, she asks "Will I now be prey for your lust for flesh?" As in: they never did anything, nor would they have in Victorian times without marriage, and especially because she believed the Phantom was in fact an Angel. Sex makes no sense at all, anywhere in this story.
@Iced1992 I know, it states that the phantom is a virgin and I stated nothing about sex... Love Never Dies, though I have not seen it, I know greatly about it, and I think that the starting is grand.... And in thoughs, the Phantom gave Christine a gift, her voice, insperation and made her "Soul take flight". I still dont like Roul though,,,, hes an idiot ;)
@LittleMissKarate Nah, you don't understand: Love Never Dies says they had sex during the time of the original Phantom of the Opera.
That's why I said it does not make sense that it would lead into LND: they never had sex according to POTO.
And yes, Raoul is a tool, in this version at least. The 2011 25th anniversary edition Raoul was grand though, and Karimloo (<3) played the phantom like a totally maniacal creep. :D
Oh my God such gorgeous men and they can sing. Especially Raoul...but I love Gerard! His heartbroken look hurts my heart- and it actually gets me every time I see this movie. Superb! Bravo
I would have picked Raoul in a heartbeat in this movie. It's not a tough choice. I've been a Phantom fan all my life and in all other versions, I prefer the Phantom. But in this movie? Raoul. Easily. I regret nothing.
@TheGreatPumpkin79 Strange, I think that out of all the versions, the 2004 film makes the strongest case for E/C.
1. Gerard Butler's Erik actually looks like a human being save for a disfigurement which can be covered up anyway, vs. Lon Chaney's Erik (which is a more accurate depiction because, from the book, the Phantom's primary physical characteristic is supposed to be that he's damn ugly)
@Eatlimepie Whether the movie is more E/C or not is irrelevant to me. I want Raoul all to myself, Christine can go off with Gerik if she wants LOL But I think Gerik is MORE of a stalker in the movie, given the fact that he's been watching Christine ever since she was a small child, which is pretty creepy.
Gerik's singing may win some fans over, but I prefer the likes of Crawford, Karimloo, Panaro, Mauer, McGillin, Jones, Carpenter, Cudia...
@TheGreatPumpkin79 That's not creepy. You people are completely unsympathetic to the fact that the Phantom was brutalized, beaten and abused as a child, and that he knew no one else than Christine in his entire lifetime. He lost his entire lifeline when she rejected him, and it's a miracle the Phantom got as socially adjusted as he appears.
That said, the movie makes no sense for these exact reasons.
I went to see this in The Artscape Theatre on December 21st....It was beautiful but I didn't really like the Phantom singing (HE DIDN'T HAVE A BARITONE VOICE!!!!) and Carlotta (too screeching voice)......
Anyway it's beautiful. It's frightning but it's beautiful....
THANK YOU ADREW LLOYD WEBBER FOR COMING UP WITH THE PAHNTOM OF THE OPERA!!!!!!!
I went to see this at Her Majestys Theatre in August 2011, and I came out crying.... Thats how good it is! LOVE the movie and LOVE the stage version. You havn't experienced the Phantom until you see it live. Totally blown away! xxxxx
I can't decide wither Erik is evil or if I should be sad for him. He's a creepy stalker with way too much possessiveness. Yet again, no one's ever loved him for being him. I just can't decide
@Proudnerd2013 He was too possessive of her. He loved her too much to let anyone love her. Erik was evil but that's because they where planning to get rid of him.
I also have a question. How is Madame Giry not scared of the Phantom and knows so much about him? Is she the one pushing him in the chair when there doing the gambling thing?
Broadway Musical schmaltz at its best. And I mean that as a compliment. Emmy Rossum's voice is as lovely and engaging as her face. Any heterosexual man with a hearbeat has to fall in love with her.
I used to sympathize with the Phantom, but after reading the book, im not too sure.. Nor am I sure about the phrase "all's fair in love and war" anymore because of this..
I feel so sorry for the phantom. He can't help being deformed. And he's way more Christine's type. I think he should have got the girl. :(

Aww, Raoul is really a sweetheart ^_^ I don't see why he's so hated, he truly loves her. So does Erik, but still. He shouldn't be hated for loving Christine.

I like both the Phantom and Raoul. But I'm happy the way the movie ended, because it was so sweet. <3 I will never tire of this movie. I watch it every Christmas, and I always will (^_^) BUT WHY'D YOU CUT THE SONG OFF?!

If you take this song out of the context of this musical, it's one of the sweetest romantic songs ever. In context, it's the most frustrating because majority of the audience wants Christine to end up with the Phantom. Either way I'm still a fan (though Raoul can still go fall down a hole)

I keep thinking that maybe I remembered Emmy's performance was worse than it really is, but then I watch videos like this...how the hell did she get this role? But then, I guess people were deluded into thinking Gerard Butler could pull it off too...

Let me start with this: "I love the Phantom" and I do think that Christine should have been with the Phantom but.. I do understand... I do love the phantom but Raoul and Christine were "childhood sweethearts" and if you were in a calm mood and you took off a handsome strangers mask, would you not be, even just the smallst bit, freaked out?.. I am upset about the ending but does it not make you think that it is a great start for "Love Never Die's?"
LittleMissKarate 4 weeks ago
@LittleMissKarate Love Never Dies did not at all make sense, so not really. At the end of this movie, mind you, she asks "Will I now be prey for your lust for flesh?" As in: they never did anything, nor would they have in Victorian times without marriage, and especially because she believed the Phantom was in fact an Angel. Sex makes no sense at all, anywhere in this story.
Iced1992 4 weeks ago
@Iced1992 I know, it states that the phantom is a virgin and I stated nothing about sex... Love Never Dies, though I have not seen it, I know greatly about it, and I think that the starting is grand.... And in thoughs, the Phantom gave Christine a gift, her voice, insperation and made her "Soul take flight". I still dont like Roul though,,,, hes an idiot ;)
LittleMissKarate 3 weeks ago
@LittleMissKarate Nah, you don't understand: Love Never Dies says they had sex during the time of the original Phantom of the Opera.
That's why I said it does not make sense that it would lead into LND: they never had sex according to POTO.
And yes, Raoul is a tool, in this version at least. The 2011 25th anniversary edition Raoul was grand though, and Karimloo (<3) played the phantom like a totally maniacal creep. :D

I would have picked Raoul in a heartbeat in this movie. It's not a tough choice. I've been a Phantom fan all my life and in all other versions, I prefer the Phantom. But in this movie? Raoul. Easily. I regret nothing.
TheGreatPumpkin79 1 month ago
@TheGreatPumpkin79 Strange, I think that out of all the versions, the 2004 film makes the strongest case for E/C.
1. Gerard Butler's Erik actually looks like a human being save for a disfigurement which can be covered up anyway, vs. Lon Chaney's Erik (which is a more accurate depiction because, from the book, the Phantom's primary physical characteristic is supposed to be that he's damn ugly)
2. Many fans are won over by Erik's singing
3. He's less of a stalker in this film

TheGreatPumpkin79 1 month ago
@Eatlimepie Whether the movie is more E/C or not is irrelevant to me. I want Raoul all to myself, Christine can go off with Gerik if she wants LOL But I think Gerik is MORE of a stalker in the movie, given the fact that he's been watching Christine ever since she was a small child, which is pretty creepy.
Gerik's singing may win some fans over, but I prefer the likes of Crawford, Karimloo, Panaro, Mauer, McGillin, Jones, Carpenter, Cudia...
TheGreatPumpkin79 1 month ago
@TheGreatPumpkin79 That's not creepy. You people are completely unsympathetic to the fact that the Phantom was brutalized, beaten and abused as a child, and that he knew no one else than Christine in his entire lifetime. He lost his entire lifeline when she rejected him, and it's a miracle the Phantom got as socially adjusted as he appears.
That said, the movie makes no sense for these exact reasons.

I can't decide wither Erik is evil or if I should be sad for him. He's a creepy stalker with way too much possessiveness. Yet again, no one's ever loved him for being him. I just can't decide
Proudnerd2013 1 month ago 3
@Proudnerd2013 He was too possessive of her. He loved her too much to let anyone love her. Erik was evil but that's because they where planning to get rid of him.
I also have a question. How is Madame Giry not scared of the Phantom and knows so much about him? Is she the one pushing him in the chair when there doing the gambling thing?

Broadway Musical schmaltz at its best. And I mean that as a compliment. Emmy Rossum's voice is as lovely and engaging as her face. Any heterosexual man with a hearbeat has to fall in love with her.
