I have seen Phantom on stage several times, 2 of those times being on Broadway. Due to this, I wasn't really expecting anything from the movie. I figured it couldn't be anywhere near as wonderful as the play is. But I LOVED it. I cried just as much as I always do, and I liked how the movie filled in some gaps in the story that I had never gotten before. Definitely will be buying this the minute it comes out on DVD and I've already bought the soundtrack.
