Guess I won't be seeing Phantom of theOpera
Not that I was planning to but...

And Joel Schumacher's film adaptation of Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera combines fingernails-on-blackboard audio agony with bamboo-under-fingernails physical torture.

This line is from the Philly Inquirer's review. If you want to read it:

I'm still going to see it.(t was nominated for 3 golden globes. Can't be that bad)

Besides, either you like musicals or not.

2. I like musicals, but hate Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Except for JCS, and parts of Requiem. Everything else sucks (in my humble opinion). :)

3. I thought Phantom was very over rated myself...............
but I hear if you liked the Theater rendition, you'll love the movie as well. It won't be on my list of "must sees".
