Hi guys, just a brief post advertising my YouTube channel Phantom Reviews. Go to http://www.youtube.com/PhantomReviews to see my reviews of the ALW version and the Max Schell version! Herbert Lom is next up, and I intend to review any version I can get my hands on. Even the Dario version... *shudder*...!

LOL! I'm enjoying your videos, very entertaining and also so true! The one on the 2004 film had me laughing, that's great stuff! :D

Brillant, brillant, brillant! I'm loving your videos. I'll subscribe ASAP! :)

Oo! Oo! I have a suggestion!
You should review the version starring Charles Dance and Teri Polo.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again, your reviews are awesome! You've made me want to watch the Herbert Lom version. :)

Oh my god...I don't think I could've stopped myself from fully cracking up during the 2004 one...
That's bloody brilliant!

Wonderful reviews I agree with a lot of what was said and you had me laughing quite a bit.

Any idea as to what you are going to review next?

PhantomReviews

09-27-2008, 07:08 PM

Next up with be "Phantom of the Paradise", then I'm going to go chronological with the 1925, 1937 and 1943 films. Then, maybe we'll see about lampooning Dario Argento's monstrosity.

The Countess

09-27-2008, 11:12 PM

Oh, I can't wait for those! Especailly Lon's of course...

But which is the 1937 version?

Phantom of the Paradise? Next? Yay! :angel1: I'm anxiously awaiting your review.

Oh, and good luck with Dario Argento's version. *shudders* You know, the only two versions of POTO that I don't plan on seeing are that version, and the cartoon (I tried watching it before and I couldn't stomache the horrendous animation).

PhantomReviews

09-28-2008, 08:12 PM

The cartoon version is OK, actually, pretty close to the Leroux novel, apart from some random cat murdering. If you value your sanity, steer clear of the Argento version. All you need to know about it can be seen in the excellent "El fantasma in 15 minutes" which I have favourited on my youtube channel.

Countess - the 1937 was the chinese remake of the Lon Chaney film, called "Song at Midnight". I finished watching it today and its pretty good!

tiannangel

09-30-2008, 01:26 AM

Oh, the chinese version, my parents loved that version
(Yes, they're both chinese XDD So am I)

Anyway, I've been following your reviews, AWESOME JOB!!!!!!

Steer clear of the Argento's version?
Okay, I will. Isn't that th one with no mask?

The Countess

09-30-2008, 01:44 AM

That it is. It's supposed to be God awful but that doesn't stifle our curiosity does it?

Ah, a Lon Chaney remake? I should know that, shouldn't I? *chuckle*

Excellent! I await the C.D. review with much anticipation. :D
As to POTP, another great and humorous review. I applaud your skizzles!

(p.s. beware of men with plungers!)

Um, are you going to do Dario Argento's version?
I hope you do, cos that one is a joke! But don't force yourself through the film again...

The Phantom of Paradise one is great, so funny! I actually like that movie, for what it is, it's hokey, but fun. Then again I also like Rocky Horror Picture Show, lol!

Can't wait to see what you do with the Charles Dance version. I like this version for again what it is. It's more on the romantic fluff side, but it's in the real Paris Opera, gotta love that! And also I'm all for versions that have Christine as a blonde, I'm more cannon when it comes to that.

Ha! I love your reviews. I've just finished watching the Robert Englund ones and I couldn't help laughing out loud sometimes. You're very good and I love you comments here and there on some parts of the movie. You do make a good point about the space-time continuum thing. I'm still scratching my head, thinking about it, though.

Ha ha. Keep it up. I await more!

Another masterful review from the Supreme Phantom Reviewer! I gotta say, I nearly jumped out of my seat and applauded when you made that little comment about firing Julian Sands and replacing him with a more willing and competent actor. You are made out of awesome! :thumb:

PhantomReviews

Thanks for the great comments! The Song at Midnight review is online now, at http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_7vAcP_sF4 . Claude Rains will be in a week or so, hopefully.

PhantomReviews

Part 1 of the Claude Rains review is up now at

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=RtY44cSD_f8

The rest should be up in a day or so. I will be briefly looking at the radio version with Bsil Rathbone, and "The Climax" with Boris Karloff in that one.

Yeah, really, I'm curious too. I can't think of anything worse than the Argento's version. Even the Robert Englund version is better than the Argento version.

PhantomReviews

BTW, if anyone would like to be IN Phantom Reviews, I have a proposition for you... see my new thread in this forum...

ChristineJ16

I should have known it was the Mexican version. I saw that one towards the end the one day, some years back. It was on TV while I was channel surfing. I was like, what the hell is this?! It was so confusing and just really bad!

Now I'm curious which movie has a female Phantom in it. I remember when Susan Lucci from the soap opera All My Children was wearing a black half mask when her character's face got scarred. Carol Burnett also dressed as the Phantom in that spoof with Julie Andrews, the Phantom of the Opry. It was pretty hokey, lol!

The Countess

I haven't been keeping up with any of these! I'm so excited to watch the CD one considering I've never seen that version.

I look forward to more!

I subscribed to PhantomReviewer's videos because they're all so hilarious. The Dario Argenti reviews are so far epic. Ha. I can't wait for the next reviews. I kind of don't want him to stop. Once he's done with Phantom reviews what's he going to do?

Hm, I guess he'll review other works related to PotO.

Well its been a long time since I posted here, but just a quick reminder that I have completed a HEAP of new reviews, including a 7 part EPIC review of Dario Argentos POTO.

You can see playlists of my reviews in order here:

I'm glad that you didn't "die" after all and that you still plan on more things. Right now, I'm greatly enjoying your reflections of your reviews. Don't stop reviewing! :)

angelgirl

09-06-2009, 04:42 PM

I just watched a few of the reviews and they were awesome. I agree with the one about Julian Sands. Why did he want to do this movie as long as they didn't make him deformed?
Didn't he know that was the whole point of a Phantom movie? That he's supposed to be deformed?
Anyway, I'll stop before I rant about it.

I just watched the review of Leroux's novel, and all I have to say is: Bravo! MaskedLion's portrayal of Forsythe was PRICELESS! And the quotes were amazing! My particular favorite was:
-"They've gone to a better place"
-"You mean...?
-"YES!... They auditioned for Les Miserables."

I can't wait for his review of Kay and *cringes* Forsythe. He should bring out the "siren" on him like he did with Schumacher. THAT would be amazing!

I really don't want him to stop. He's just to good! I'm looking forward to the commentaries, though.

Soprano Rose

12-11-2009, 06:27 PM

Sorry, but I had to double post. So far, the Forsythe review is GOLD! I think this might be his best yet! I now know to never read this book (not that I was going to, anyway).
-"I don't know, I was high at the time."
That explains so much....
Can't wait for the next part!

EDIT: 12/22/09

Okay, I didn't want to triple post, but where's the love for PR? I seriously about fell out of my chair laughing at Forsythe's execution! Bravo, Phantom Reviewer, Biskits, and Masked Lion! You will be missed!

YAY! These are hilarious! I must say that your "Love Never Dies" Review turned me from hating the idea of the sequal to actually looking forward to it so kudos for that. Can't wait to see what you do next Phantom Reviewer!
