I purchased “Phantom of the Opera” on DVD for Jess sometime earlier this week. She had begged me to see it with her in the theater, but thankfully a mutual friend of ours invited her to go see it – just the two of them – and she accepted and I was out of the deal!
When the movie came out on DVD, I knew I would have to suffer through it atleast once.
I was pretty tired before we put the DVD in last night, figuring that in the worst-case, I could just “fall asleep” and wouldn’t get “in trouble” for not REALLY watching the whole movie.
Well, contrary to my own personal thoughts – I actually enjoyed the movie. It had an attention-keeping storyline and a couple good sword fights that made my night. I could’ve done with MUCH LESS singing/dancing, however, it was a Broadway Musical, so I guess I’ll forgive Mr. Weber.
While I did enjoy seeing the movie once, I did say that I would have to be terribly bored and/or without any other DVD to want to watch it again.
