VHS Movie Reviews of Phantom of the Opera [VHS]

Movie Review: A GREAT CHRISTMAS PRESENT
Summary: 4 Stars

Igave this as a gift. The color and sound track were amazing. I enjoyed the fact that it was on DVD and the technology and color were great.

Movie Review: Big Disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars

I'm a huge fan of the old classic halloween movies. When I saw Phantom of the Opera was available, I jumped at the chance to add it to my collection. I was very disappointed when I put it in the DVD player. The quality was terrible! It was very dark, almost impossible to pick out any figures and filled with flashing white spots. As if that wasn't enough, IT WAS A SILENT FILM! No where in the discription of the movie did it mention it was silent. A very big disappointment!!!

Movie Review: A refreshing and very entertaining take on the Phantom
Summary: 4 Stars

What I liked best about this version, even since I was a kid, was how unique the story was. This one worked to make the Phantom considerably more sympathetic and tragic than any other version of the story I've seen. For starters, we get to know his character for the first half hour before he becomes disfigured. This version explores his obsession with Christine and what draws him to live the depths of the Opera House. I also enjoyed the new characters, including the performance of Nelson Eddy. The makeup was a bit toned down considering what the Lon Chaney film had done about two decades before this movie. Also the finale seemed a bit rushed considering the build-up, but these things I forgive. This one is definitely one to be remembered, and a must for any movie collection!

Movie Review: A 'must see' Film
Summary: 5 Stars

From Australia,
300 years ago when I was a very young boy, I missed school for 3 weeks
to see this film which was screening at the wonderful State Theatre in the City of Melbourne. Sneaking through the theatre's back door I spent my entire days imersing myself in the wonderful music and song by both Susanna Foster and Nelson Eddy, and the fine acting of Claude Rains.There
have been numerious versions of 'Phantom of the Opera' but this is the best by a long streak.The print is excellent, with no artifacts or 'cue
marks'. Certainly not to be missed.

Movie Review: Fantastic music and acting
Summary: 5 Stars

A great technicolor masterpiece about the crazed monster of the opera. Claude Rains is terrific and the music is impressive. Well done film.

Summary of Phantom of the Opera [VHS]

This 1943 version of the horror story is more Technicolor musical than scare piece. Claude Rains plays the unfortunate, masked anti-hero, but he doesn't get the room to showcase a promising and sympathetic performance. Susanna Foster and Nelson Eddy, on the other hand, get plenty of screen time to warble. Well worth a visit just for the look of the film, which won an Oscar for cinematography. --Tom Keogh
