I would have to agree that this movie is not dead on to the book accurate. If you are a crazed fan of The Phantom, this is probably not the best movie for you to watch.
However, Robert Englund's version of the Phantom is wonderfully done. He does evoke more passion than Gerard Butler did. (Not that Gerard Butler wasn't good...) I would have to say that Robert Englund, because of his background, does seem to fit the part better. He is the right mix of intimidating, passionate, and dangerous! Jill Schoelen's performance was fair. She was not all that believable as an opera singer. She just didn't seem to give off the right vibe for some reason. The song, Don Juan Triumphant, is hauntingly beautiful and makes for the perfect ending sequence!
