THE PHANTOM
OF THE OPERA
THE
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA - Since
it was first published in 1908, "The
Phantom of the Opera" has captured
the imagination of millions with its famous
tale of a tragic, disfigured genius and
his obsessive love for the young woman
he can never possess. Andrew Lloyd Webber's
musical version of the classic horror
tale sweeps us up in 'the music of the
night,' as "The Phantom" weaves
its haunting spell. While the action may
be too intense for younger film fans,
the violence level is low and the climactic
sight of the Phantom's disfigured face
is surprisingly mild. The result is one
of the year's best films, for 5 tickets
out of 5 on the Mr. Movie Scale.
2 hours and 23 minutes.
Rated PG-13 for some violence and makeup
effects.
