DVD Reviews of Phantom of the Opera [1990 TV Mini Series]

DVD Review: I finally found it here!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I saw this version when it originally aired in 1990. I have been searching for a copy of it ever since. I couldn't find it on VHS or DVD. Then finally came across it here only to be told that it was currently unavailable. I waited another 2 years before it was offered again. I am so glad to finally have a copy of my own!!! This version of POTO is basically outlined after the classic, but the similarities end there. In this version the Phantom (Eric) we learn who he is and where he came from and a background more palatable than the book. The relationship between Christine and Eric grows over time and you have a love triangle worth watching. Charles Dance gives the Phantom a heart and gives the character depth and feeling. He's not just a murdering monster obsessed with his student. I like the fact that is has a beginning, a middle and an ending. It ties up all the loose ends and the opera is sensational. If you like the story, you will really like this particular version.

DVD Review: Phantom of the Operat-TV mini series
Summary: 5 Stars

The TV mini series has been one of my favorite productions of the Phantom of the Opera. I was delighted to find this available for purchase. Definitely a version of this story worth seeing.

DVD Review: Phantom- love it!
Summary: 5 Stars

I am so grateful for the fact that I found this movie. I have looked everywhere for it. Phantom of the Opera with Burt Lancaster was virtually impossible to find. Only the new version and old horror versions are available in general. This is a great version and I wish more people would watch it at least once. This version seems to be the best one (to me). Thank you.

DVD Review: favorite movie phantom, that's for sure
Summary: 5 Stars

Holy Crow! I remember when I first saw this a couple weeks ago on youtube. I was just bliping through, and I saw the first part and I was like 'I didn't know they'd made a version of Phantom in 1990. Might as well check it out!'.

Best movie version of 'Phantom of the Opera' I've ever seen (nothing tops Susan Kay's book, though). Charles Dance was PERFECT as the Phantom. I cried so hard at the end (seriously. I was sitting on the couch while my grandmother watched Deal or no Deal, and I was just sobbing quietly. He was so noble!).

I've never seen an Erik with such a great sense of humor, though. Kay's is almost the same, but the self-degredation which always makes me want to cry kind of tempers it there. But in this, just pure funny. That's not to say that I find everything funny, just that part where Erik and Gerard are talking at the beginning.

I loved that Erik's history wasn't quite so dark as usual. It was nice to see that, thought his father was a bit misguided, he had loving parents.

And that Christine does, in a way, love him, that rocks. She doesn't hate him, never could, and even says, not in as many words, that she loves him to Philippe, just not the same way she loves Philippe (pe

DVD Review: I loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this after my son (11)saw the Gerard Butler version a few years ago and fell in love with it. He was even the Phantom of the Opera for Halloween. My son did not like it as well because it did not have the catchy music that he loved in the modern version. I, on the other hand, loved it and got so much more out of the story in this adaptation.

Description of Phantom of the Opera [1990 TV Mini Series]

Burt Lancaster, Teri Polo and Charles Dance star in Academy Award-winning director Tony Richardson's stunning, Golden Globe-nominated television miniseries. The classic tale of a hideously disfigured man who haunts Paris's subterranean labyrinths while harboring an all-consuming passion for a beautiful opera singer continues to enchant audiences. With its timeless story, "The Phantom of the Opera" endures as not only a deeply touching love story, but as a chilling spectacle of desire and vengeance played out against the grandeur and decadence of 19th century France. *** IMPORTED FROM SOUTH KOREA *** ORIGINAL ENGLISH SOUNDTRACK ***
