Review of The Phantom of the Opera

Not a bad take on the classic story. It has it's ups and downs but I find the last 20 minutes really slows the movie down. If I wanted to watch an opera I'd go rent an opera. I think they used to much of it in this movie and I did have it at a higher rating until that point. Overall it does have some replay value but it's just not really too good of a film. Of course, the soundtrack is great.
