WHAT MOVIE IS FROM 5:58? with the phantom with no mask?

[PhantomReviews]

@Cradlechick666 Its the Dario Argento version, please check out my hour long review on my channel. Its one of the worst Phantom movies of all time!

Some dumb girl in my theater tech class says that the phantom was burned. I tried to tell her that he was deformed and she was just like "shut up".

@leopardstar5556 XD lol I learned that a few months after posting the comment :) and I very much agree with your other comment :)

I personally love Mme. Giry's accent. And I listend extreamly closely to the french dub on my DVD (fyi, Erik's french dub voice is so freaking seductive, it's amazing) and I'm almost entirely positive she did her own french dub. Correct me if I'm wrong, please.

@ThePhantomofYT101 XD That was the point. He actually had his sleeves shortened to make his hands look longer.

Fangirls of this movie are, dare I say it, worse than Twilight fangirls. They get all over your case if you even dare to suggest that Gerard Butler was not suited for the role. I had commented on one video saying that ALW clearly didn't understand the story very well when casting Gerard, and a faithful little Gerry fangirl replied with "I think he understands the story well. He wrote it!" Ah, the ignorance this movie has supplied us all with.

My friend and I were discussing this film the other day. She wondered why the phantom was bald and had a bruise. I thought the latter alone was worth sharing.

[Strawberrytop700]

Agreed 100% about the deformity! While I love this musical and enjoy the film, the unmasking is a let down. However I don't blame Butler for that, seeing as he has played a few badasses before, I'd think he'd want to look as nasty and horrifying as possible. Great Review and the ending was hilarious!

Ppl r always down on Gerald's singing voice! I was personally blown away from how good he was (may even go so far as to say he sounded better than Crawford)

@Cradlechick666 The Argento version: If you haven't seen it BE GRATEFUL!!! It's the most terrible phantom movie ever made! DO NOT watch it. I repeat: DO NOT!

[Beeper98]

you're over thinking those teeny tiny flaws, i mean it didn't take anything away from the story. And the whole eye thing, really? he didnt shoot all his scenes in one day, they weren't gonna make him wear the prostetic the whole time. it was time consuming to make and (according to him) very uncomfortable.
