Just watched the 2004 film and it had me absolutely glued to the monitor. I can play Music Of The Night off by heart on the piano, but to see all the songs put into context with the scenery gave it another dimension. Never watched any perfomance of Phantom before and I found tis film absolutely fantastic.

I have to admit, while I thought the film itself was done very well, the Phantom disappointed me somewhat - I can't help but feel they went for too much of a 'pretty-boy' character, whereas I'd always envisioned him to look somewhat stronger and moreso handsome than pretty. I was also a little disappointed by his singing (but then, I'm a fan of the original cast's production, and who's gonna beat Michael Crawford?) and thought they ruined the actual 'Phantom of the Opera' song too. Despite that, I'll agree, it was a pretty damn good film I saw it at the cinema with my cousin, and we were well impressed!

Yeah - the whole point of the mask is that he's supposed to be horrific under there, but they didn't play on that at all (probably didn't want to upset the fangirls in the audience ) I'd always envisioned something akin to the scars you see on burns victims - not a 3rd degree burn, but certainly second-degree.
