The Phantom of MyO-pera is Here...
Inside your browser!

*coughs*

Well anyway, I've been very busy these last few days. I didn't actually get to sleep until 6:30am on Wednesday night/Thursday morning, and I slept late last night too, as we went to see Phantom of the Opera after colege.

I was anticipating the film to be far greaterthan I thought. I know it's a highly-acclaimed musical, but as a film... this really didn't enthrall me as much as I'd hoped it would. In a word, it was far too long and there was too much singing, but that's an ironically crap way of describing something like this.

To go into more detail... in terms of its technical side- it looked lovely. Some of the swooping camera shots and what-have-you were really nicely done and the costumes looked nice enough (they could have done the swordfighting more effectively, though :p), but the actors didn't seem to portray their characters very well and so many times I got confused as to what was actually going on. It didn't help that I was incredibly tired/half asleep while in the cinema, but normally a good film will sustain my interest for long enough for me to forget I'm actually in the cinema. This didn't once.

I'd still like to see the stage show, though. even though I know the vast majority of the music's rather forgettable (the only things as memorable as those from Cats are the main theme and overture. They're great, but the rest was somewhat mediocre.

And it was 140 minutes long. Normally I don't mind a film's length, but it seemed at least 40 minutes too long.

Ah well. Here's hoping The Forgotten's better.
