to kick off and this film suck . call me immature and but it true . i do not blame the actor and i blame the script . the whole gory shtick do nothing to add to the film . the whole movie be just a waste of talent and viewer time really . julian sand be great actor while unfortunately he will have to add this horror of a movie to his resume . i start to see the film decline in the scene when christine and the phantom meet for the first time . the whole meeting be just . stupid . basically and it be just him reveal that he can read her mind and communicate with her the same way . the fact that christine fell in love with him because of this just make her seem like a weak minded bimbo . this movie be so unrealistic and cheap and i have to watch andrew lloyd webber version twice just to rid the feeling of disappointment . i hear review say that the movie wasn not as bad a what others might think . true it worse . to anyone who even consider rent this pretense of an attempt to a good remake represent don not waste your money or your life on it . stick to the andrew lloyd webber or the original 1925 version .
