Syd Barrett I don't like him simply because the Angel of Music is supposed to be able to sing. sweatdrop Not to mention that in 2004 John Owen Jones was playing as the Phantom in London... he would have been such a perfect choice for the movie. crying Go to www.youtube.com and search for his videos to see what I mean. I practically swoon everytime I hear John Owen-Jones sing "Music of the Night."Quote: 1. yes he did have little singing opportunities before Phantom, but I dont think he did a bad job, it rather fit with the phantoms character, granted he is definitely nothing like Michael crawford Quote: 2.He has to act that way in order to play the part of the almighty phantom Quote: 3. cocky smile=he knows something everyone else (Christine) did not

I could never bring myself to dislike Gerry. He's just too sweet and adorable and I love him to pieces.
I can, however, hold a deep grudge against ALW and Schumacher. The film is a great story on it's own but it's just not Phantom.

The film is a great story on it's own but it's just not Phantom. I don't know that I'd call him "sweet" and "adorable". He's way too much of a cocky stud for that. Now, Winslow on the other hand.... *Ahem*

chichirismuse IlovetheAngelofMusic BakaTulip I find I can't hate him, why? He was the first I saw Same here. It isn't his fault. It is the director's (I can never spell his name...) fault making it sexy and the Phantom hardly had a deformity. hm... it technically would be Joel Shumacher's fault. I saw what they originally had in mind for the Phantom's facial deformity, and it looked WAY better than the one they used in the movie. I wondered why they changed it. It said on the offical show site that they wanted to get the tender side of Erik... and it worked, the only reason I don't like Gerry is because his voice is not very skilled. But you have to admit it holds a lot of emotion.

PhantomoftheFox Why don't I like Gerard Butler? I can't really name one thing that puts me off entirely. It's more an assortment of little things that just grind my nerves... We do not like his voice so rough We do not like his chest so buff We do not like the way he prances We do not like his spandex pantses We do not like his poofy shirt And how we hates that stupid smirk! We do not like his shiny hair We do not like lack his lack of flair Or how he throws around his cape (Hey, Gerry! Take a clue from Snape!) We do not like him here nor there We do not like him anywhere We do not like the Scottish man That's why we second Uta-san 3nodding Lord of the Rings and Dr. Seuss are bad for me... *cough* Be that as it may... I think Gerry was really a huge part of my Phandom. Seeing how I really couldn't care less about PotO on January second, 5:00 pm, he and his supreme hotness and singing voice brought me in, hook, line, and sinker. THEN I started accepting the fact that Erik is supposed to be butt-ugly (Sorry, Erik. It's true.) and I, too, have a complaint about Gerry. He's too frickin' sexy to be Erik. But I forgive him. I think if he was a good Erik, I wouldn't be here today. Nor would I have such a fondness for music, the fine arts... I'd think Opera was still for pansies... So yeah Just my bit, there. crystal_raye I could never bring myself to dislike Gerry. He's just too sweet and adorable and I love him to pieces. I can, however, hold a deep grudge against ALW and Schumacher. The film is a great story on it's own but it's just not Phantom. ^ pretty much sums it all up.

Well...he is supposed to be ugly...in a way but it doesn't mean that he can't look good and have only a part of his face deformed...

ALW screwed up his own musical by doing that. Christine is supposed to pity him, not love him. She loves Raoul.

1. His singing is bad. It lacks depth and emotion.
2. As the Phantom he portrays the seducing part of the character too strongly, not the threatening or empathetic part.
3. I do not like his acting in general. From what I have seen, even in othe rmovies, he only plays one personna and that is all he does regardless of what is called for in a character. He also didn't do his own stunts, considering that all there was was a corny swordfight he hasn't much of an excuse.

I personally see the movie, musical, and novel Erik as three totally different Eriks. Playing the movie version, I think Gerry did a really great job. Sure he wasn't a true angel of music but he did his best and that's all that matters. He only acts so damn sexy because it makes girls like me go crazy for him whee
However, as much as I love Gerik I still worship Leroux, Kay, and ALW's book and stage versions and remember that Erik was no sex god with a Scottish accent.
