Reviews

Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
Phantom, still running on Broadway after sixteen years, is a rapturous spectacle. And the movie, directed full throttle by Joel Schumacher, goes the show one better.
70
Variety - Derek Elley
Sumptuous pic version, which evokes the original show while working as a movie in its own right, is lit by a radiant, vocally lustrous perf by teenaged Emmy Rossum.
60
Empire - Unnamed
The end result, although entertaining and well-crafted, certainly isn't on the same breathtaking scale of, say, Alan Parker's epic "Evita."
60
The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
What the film most damagingly lacks though is a sense of mystery and danger.
50
Newsweek - David Ansen
It's sometimes hard to tell the characters from the candelabra. This lavish screen version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical is so chockablock with decorative detail the human figures are often competing with the decor for attention.
