I’m like a teenager who doesn’t want to go on the kiddie rides with his little sis, knowing full well he’ll be laughing his arse off once he gets on the teacup ride.Īnd, if I’m honest, I buy into “Phantom” pretty early on, from the black and white prologue featuring an auction in a burnt out opera house. My girlfriend will occasionally stick on “Phantom” on a Sunday afternoon, and I’ll go through my usual huffing and puffing, protesting that I really don’t want to watch that shit – even though secretly I know I’m going to love it.

At least it looks like every cent ended up on the screen… Nobody quite spunks millions of dollars up the screen like Joel Schumacher, and his “Phantom” is a noisy, over-produced, tacky adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s noisy, over-produced, tacky musical.
