So Karen had already watched the Phantom of the Opera DVD just last week, but she insisted that I watch it with her again. It was enjoyable, but one inconsistency really irked me. For the first half of the movie, the Phantom looked like this stud with slicked hair and perfect facials. At one point you could even see his entire flawless forehead. Then when the mask is ripped off, half of the forehead is riddled with scars filling an area inconcealable with some of the masks worn. Also, the eye suddenly resembles that of Tales from the Crypt! What the heck?!! Did they really think they could sneak this little detail pass the scrutinizing audience like myself? Imagine me wearing a tiny snoopy band-aid on my hand, and when it is peeled off, my entire hand and arm is covered in leprousy. Slight oversight?
That, along with the weak, untrained voice of the Phantom, are the only sore spots in the movie. Despite those issues, I would still recommend this movie, especially if you’ve seen the musical as it augments the storyline.
what’s going on with those magic beans?????
