Re: 101 (more TL;DR. Sorry!)
The problem is that (a lot of) those of us who were fans of the story, in one form or another, before the movie came out, came to the movie with certain expectations.It may be just me, but I loves the story before the movie came out, and I didn't have those 'expectations'.
I'm not saying that the movie is flawless, because I think it is. Like, I agree Emmy Rossum's performance is not very good, for instance, but to judge the movie just on that, and not as a whole, or, worse yet, to say they're voices are hideous, which almost everyone seems to think, it's a little too much for me.
As you say, ppl tend to hate this movie because they're always comparing it with the other versions. I think that, yes, it's impossible not to think about the other versions, but ppl should be more open-minded about the movie, you know what i'm saying? Maybe the other performances are bether, but that doesn't take away the merit of the film, I'm not saying you all should love it, either, I understand everyone has tehir own taste, but it just seems like every Phantom fan hates the movie for this same reason, which kinda gets on my nervs, sometimes.
If you say their voices are not suited for the roles, well, I personally don't think Sarah Brigtman's suit, either. But that's just mt personal taste, I think that there's something weird about her voice, and althoug I thinks she has a pretty voice and amazing vocal range, there's always something bothering me.
I'm not saying Rossum and Butler's voices are amazing, either, but I seriously have nothing against it, and for me it works quite well. To tell you the truth, Butler's Music of the Night is one of my favorite versions ever, I don't think he butchered the song at all. I think his voice is powerful enough to enthrall anyone. May not be wonderful, but I think if fits it's purpose.
What pains me the most is that I can't show my appreciation to the movie without having ppl telling me I have bad taste, or that I didn't read the book/ don't know the story. Nobody can assume that, which is what apparently everyone does. It's a little insulting, even.
I don't mind ppl not liking it, really, it's FAR from the best movie ever, but it seems like 99% of the fandom not only hate it, but they MAKE SURE you know how much they hate it, and that's a lot.
Well, big rant is big. Thank you for your answer, really, I enjoyed reading your point of view. :)
