Not great.

However didn't really matter as I caught myself drifting off drooling at the extreme SWOONWORTHY RDJ. Amaze.

Pretty awful. Overly long and boring. Special points though for three Cole Porter references in the first two minutes.

Properly awful and dull. Would have been made better if the wife had been played by Dannii Minogue rather than a lookalike. Wanted to leave after 30 minutes.

Saw this at the London Film Festival - found it very slow and dull. A few laughs but almost sent me to sleep

The costumes and the choreography was a delight, but the main problem with this Phantom adaption is that it's just far too long. I really loved the last thirty minutes or so but it didn't need to take 2 hours to get to that point.

Undeniably cute, but dragged a little bit in the middle.

Above all there is little to say but:

WORST LAST LINE EVER

We foolishly went to see this thinking it was a bit of an easy Sunday night film. WARNING - it is not.

Joaquin mumbles
Gwen flashes a boob

The end result is so depressing you will end up with no hope in true love and want to top yourself.

I love this film. When I saw it it made me bawl my eyes out and I went round telling people it was the saddest film ever made for years. The relationship between Cole & his wife though. Wah!

Anyway it introduced me to Cole Porter's music and it's gorgeously presented throughout the film thanks to a number of cameos. My favourite Porter version on the soundtrack is Kevin Kline & John Barrowman's uber intense duet of 'Night & Day'. I"d love to hear it in full.

AMAZING.
