[@gaugehaver2426]

[@Dan-Black]

_Phantom_ was awesome. I know there's a faction that doesn't like it, but I think that's mainly the hardcore Broadway crowd that thinks the only way to see it is live on Broadway (even though most of them actually haven't), and they will never, ever, ever be satisfied with any movie version, even a recording of the Broadway cast themselves. For the rest of us, I thought it was an excellent movie version, and I love the singing and everything else they did with the movie. _P.S. I Love You_ is one of the very best romantic movies ever. I _don't_ have a personal connection story like the ones he describes, and it's still one of the most emotional, touching movies I've seen. I also saw that _How to Train Your Dragon_ was on the timeline, even though he didn't discuss it. I love that series, too. The voice acting in those is good in general, but Gerard Butler is really great in it. Stoick is such a fun voice and character with surprising depth; I'm betting and hoping he has a blast doing that.

[@fleamag]

Thank you for saying that bit about Phantom. I was just talking to my boyfriend about that very same idea just the other day. Hardcore Broadway fans set expectations based on the original cast-so most of the time, it’s nearly impossible to impress them. I understand that feeling of possessiveness toward an iconic or favorite character-Phantom just so happens to be mine. Butler did an amazing job at portraying a Phantom that would exist in reality, a film, and honestly, it makes it that much more heart-wrenching. I really hope he somehow see’s these comments.

[@Dan-Black]

​@@fleamag - Exactly! I feel like movies at least have the potential to look and feel much more like real life, and that can pull me into the story and the characters more, rather than pretending not to notice the way they have to arrange the scenes and the characters so the audience can see everything, or focusing on that E6 that she didn't nail absolutely perfectly in a high-stress live performance. I think the part that bothers me most about the Broadway elitists is that they (at least the ones I know) demand everyone else do the same, and if you like any other version at all, _you're wrong_ and it's unacceptable. Well, no, it's not wrong. Let people enjoy things, especially when they're not looking for the same things you are. I'm fine with them preferring the live musical, and they're welcome to geek out to me about the things they like about the musical. But don't get mad or belittle my opinion when I like the movie. If we all liked exactly the same things, the world would be very boring.

[@fleamag]

@@Dan-Black Bravo! I couldn’t have said it better myself!

[@jennymyers6498]

Phantom is not a crap because of the actors, but because of the director itself. The characters feel so empty, in think of me carlotta wears a different costume and christine has the same role even tho her costume changed, we also got to see that horrible scene where we see phantom hearing christine in think of me. He is not even ugly, which is the main point of the show, Christine is so "dead" I can see that Joel read the book and put that characters in a mix with the Broadway version, Poto book is so fuckin boring, so was the movie. The camera takes were awful, the places of the songs also, we have good points in there but mainly it's a bad movie, not a horrible one, but bad

[@Dan-Black]

I started paying attention to Gerard Butler when I saw the Phantom. It was a unique experience watching that newly released movie in a large theatre. You know how people jump up at the end, when the credits begin to roll, and they try to get to their car or the restrooms first? Not that movie. At least 90% of the audience remained seated, the house lights were slowly coming up and there were whispers everywhere - "Who was that guy?" Then a remarkable thing happened...when the actors' names appeared, people began applauding and cheering. One true POTO fan kept yelling "Bravo!" This was at a movie! I got the same goosebumps that everyone got during this experience and was applauding too. It was wonderful! I am still stunned at how the critics dissed this movie. The fans loved it, so phooey to the "critics," because they criticize because they can't act themselves.

Gerry's Phantom was my first, and the 2004 movie began my love for Phantom as a whole 💖 he'll always hold a special place in my heart

[@coastdaze748]

Never, ever diss Phantom in my presence! :-) I just found out about it in the last 3 weeks! I've watched it several times. I could not believe Gerard Butler could carry off a role like that. I've been a big fan and now even bigger fan of this man who can bring out such emotion and passion as in Phantom, I cry every time I've watched it. The singing was perfect for this character and forever will Gerard be THE Phantom, imo. Not to mention the great outfits Phantom wears! Lovely man so easy to love.

[@mstefanaki]

I totally loved him as Phantom.... yeah he hasn't the voice of an angel... but he gave so many emotions to the part... i could feel the anger, passion, despair, love, loneliness.... He is one of my top phantoms ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I feel the same way about the Phantom. It's been my favorite for 16 years ❤

[@alwaysdreamin5085]

[@faiqaziya]

I freaking love him as Phantom. He was amazing, hard core broadway people bash him for no reason. His Phantom is one of the best, it's so sad to see him say that no one connected to his character, I absolutely did. Won't justify Phantom's actions but I can understand why he was the way he was and despite all that I loved him. Seriously Gerry did great as the Phantom.

[@fainash6375]

I connected to Gerry 's phantom too

[@lynn9273]

I'll watch him in anything he does. I honestly watch his movies too watch him make my own life better and I always come away with a smile on my face and a bit of a laugh all the rest of my day. I have most of his movies but even those I wouldn't give an A+ rating to I'll surely watch it again and maybe see something I didn't see the first time. Three cheers for the man who according to some kill joy's in my opinion is someone who keeps me coming back for more and always will

[@JessSarley]

I have distinct memories of driving around in friends’ cars as a teenager in 2004 when the Phantom of the Opera movie & soundtrack were released, and as we were all “high school band and choir” kids, we would belt out the entire soundtrack at the top of our lungs. *sigh* to be 15 again, good memories.

[@liubovizbitskikh5512]

Same 🥲. Well, except that I was about 11 at a time. I just remembered this great film cause one of my musical theatre friends went for Halloween as Christine lol. 16 years in and the angel of musics still be singing songs in my head

I love Gerard Butler 's singing voice! He is my favorite Male singer in the whole world! It is the sweetest sound I ever heard in my life. I could hear Gerard Butler sing all day long. I love it! After watching phantom his voice was in my head for days after! 😍😍😍

[@casey-capri2914]

wow... you have horrible taste

[@dukeleach]

@@casey-capri2914 everyone hears differently sounds and interpretations of them. So, Gerard Butler singing to your ears is noise. His singing to my ears is music. That's ok to feel like it's noise because it is noise to you. It's just the most beautiful singing I ever heard. It doesn't mean I have bad taste, it means that it is not your taste is all. Thank you for your honesty!

[@rylee_l]

Phantom of the Opera is my absolute favorite movie/musical EVER. I’ve watched Gerard’s version several times and love it so much that my boyfriend took me to see the Broadway show last year. I’m surprised to hear him say nobody connected with how he felt about Erik’s character, I feel like so many people I know (including myself) were so touched by him. I’d be interested to hear why he feels that way

[@davidfischer1971]

he was so good in p.s. i love you. he totally nailed acting like the kind of guy everybody meets once in their life. a heartwarming dude, cool, funny, who is not afraid of reaching for his goals and who always treats others with respect, even though he has a dominant side. in that movie he was pretty much that "best friend" kinda guy, who is always the guy that draws the attention wherever he goes. even though hillary swank was the main actor, he was presented in such a way that made the viewer really understood why she missed him so much.

[@SleepFan771]

I loved Gerard Butler in Reign of Fire, Lara Croft, Timeline, Phantom of the Opera, 300, Law Abiding Citizen, Coriolanus, Machine Gun Preacher, Den of Thieves. I should probably check out Mrs. Brown, Harrison's Flowers, Dear Frankie, & The Vanishing.

[@graememowat2322]

The Vanishing is fantastic, but you should 100% see RocknRolla. It's an ensemble movie with a cast gathered before they became huge. It was intended to be a trilogy Guy Ritchie came up with, but with Butler, Idris Elba and Tom Hardy becoming megastars shortly after it was difficult to get them back and probably for a decent price.

[@AllyKit]

Check out Mrs Brown if you want to see his big swinging peen. OMG it’s big when he should’ve had shrinkage in the cold water. Hit FF and rewind many times. 😛🤩🥰😏

[@gaugehaver2426]

Finally someone mentions Reign of Fire, honestly feels like he was playing himself in that film, such a good duo between him and Christian Bale's character, they felt like brothers.
