Our son, the aspiring Broadway Actor, absolutely hated it -- particularly the voices of some of the leads.
I guess after hearing the Broadway and tour voices, the ones (especially the Phantom) in the movie just didn't stand up for him.
Granted, he's a Musical Theatre snob. On the other hand, if I had produced the movie, I might have been tempted to go for Michael Crawford and Sara Brightman (the former Mrs. Andrew Lloyd-Webber). That is provinding they aren't too old to walk and sing at the same time.

Let me add some perspective on this...my DH is a drama teacher and has lived his life on the stage (just as your son). He hates the stage show too...I even had to drag him to see it for my birthday last year and went as a personal favor to me! (Now
that's love!!! LOL)...
He agreed to go to the movie with me and actually
liked it!!! Shocker of shockers! He liked the cinematography, the acting, the sets and the way the music was portrayed...they make a major change in the movie (the chandelier) and he liked what changes they made...
