I was just wondering...are there any HARDCORE phantom show fans here that are NOT going to buy the film when its release next month? renting it is okay...but as far as owning your own copy forever, is that where you draw the line?

I don't think i will. I don't think i can bear sitting through Gerry or Emmy's voices again.

What the hell was wrong with Emmy? SOB (lol, that from bso)

I agree about Gerry - YES! for the skip feature!

Gerry made even my father (a die-hard POTO fan) turn off the Cast Recording in disgust, so I think I'll rent it instead of buying.

I put a $5 down payment hold on it at Suncoast, but after all the negativity in regards to the voice of Gerard Butler, I think I'm gonna call them and cancel it!!

Yaaay, Zeppie's countdown hit single digits today. Soo excited. Definitely buying it. Kinda funny, BSo likes the skip feature in terms of Gerry while I am soo very thankful for the repeat/rewind feature in terms of Gerry...particularly PONR. Mmmmm.

Tenor, I still think it's a great film and well worth the purchase. If you're a fan of the show, at the very least, you enjoy the story/songs and in my opinion what Gerry loses in songs he more than makes up with in acting, passion and chemistry with Emmy. But I do understand if you'd rather rent it first to see how you like it.

I walked out of the theatre when I saw it, so I will NOT waste my money on it!!!! I already wasted 8.75. That is enough!!!!

I'm gonna buy the 2-disc set with all the extras...and disappear into my home. :o)

Well, i'm going to buy it. i loved Emmy Rossum. And i thought G. Butler held his own as the Phantom...i dont know, i like his voice. and nothing beats the beginning of the film, the chandelier igniting and lifting with the phantom theme...awesome overture scene! yeah, yeah..all in all..i liked it, and will buy it.

Am australian and I bought the DVD the other day. It's worth buying just for the special features (not sure if they will be the same where you guys are), there is a great documentary on the musicology of the show with footage of the live stage production. And a great behind-the-scenes thingy!

DTBG2: I completely forgot about the opening, which I agree was absolutely stunning. Now you've got me contemplating buying it.

Not really a fan of the show and I've not yet seen the movie but I am buying the DVD.

Please don't let other opinions influence your own instinct. Rent it first if you have doubts.

Edited to add that my copy is on pre-order from Amazon.
