Worst Movie Ever!!!

[Gn2Dlnd]

I paid good money (is there bad money?) to see "Phantom of the Opera" last night and I want those 9 1/2 hours of my life back! I've deliberately avoided all reviews and only seen the trailer, so who knows, maybe this movie's been getting trashed, but you'd think AMC Theaters would put up a warning sign.

Warning: This movie was edited by a papier-mache monkey, no attempt at logical storytelling has been made. Caveat: If you liked "Battlefield Earth" or "Light Magic," we bid you WELCOME and ENJOY! Fool.

Ok, real points:
Actions onscreen that contradict the words being sung
Nearly unintelligible lyrics
Continuity problems galore
Terrible lip-synching
No attempt at a story that makes sense (he's going to kidnap you, walk out of the theatre)
It's 2005, could we update the arrangements? A clap-track?!?
If they walked into the Phantom's hidey-hole why do they have to gondola out? Standing?

This movie was ridiculous on so many levels, and I had to restrain myself from
making smart-ass comments so often, I think, after a good 45 minutes are edited out, that it may have a future as a midnight movie.

"Well, don't you have anything good to say about the movie?"
Two things. It had a budget and Minnie Driver. That's it.
