This movie was the first movie in a long while to actually stun me in the theater. I just sat there the entire movie entranced by the amazingly talented voices in the movie. I was a fan of the original and this version is even better. The songs are all still the originals with the original lyrics and Andrew Lloyd Webber even wrote a new song for this version.
Overall, Men: If you want major points with your ladies, take them to see this. Ladies: Demand your men take you to this. Everyone else: See it if you like musicals.
What did everyone else think?
Check your bladder and testicles at the door.
it was the first opera I saw, and I loved it... went to see it 6 more times!
I didn't get to go opening day 
oh well, I'll get there eventually.
Oh and It is not an Opera.

Oh and It is not an Opera.
fine, an operetta
Opera = projecting voice into the large hall
Musical = using microphones to project voice into a smaller venue
And I've never been a big fan of them, or Webber.. Just a bit too melodramatic. I like subtle.
But then, I was like 8.

Not really an operetta either. An operetta is something like The Merry Widow. This is a musical.

I found myself wanting to sing along as well. I know pretty much every male part in the movie and most of the female lines.

'All I Ask of You' was (and sometimes still is) a lullabye I used on my daughters, I also sang it at my brother's wedding and made Mom cry.

Is it? It's playing here at Kerasotes and that's a pretty mainstream theater. S'not like Shaun of the Dead, which was only playing out in the backpit of nowhere here.

And for the record, opera is hollering very persuasively in foreign languages. And fat old women pretending to be slender young waifs. Horned helmet optional.

Will you be singing it?
She wants me to actually. Not sure though.

I'd buy a digital video camera just to catch that one for posterity.
