For starters, I have only seen the flm proper (1996 Photoplay restoration of the 1929 reissue), and will only limit my review to that.
The film is absolutely PERFECT!!! The greatest of Universal's horror films. The atmosphere, color, performances, and the fact that THIS film inspired "Dracula," "Frankenstein," and all of the horor films made at the studio made in the 1930's and 40's make this an instant winner. Chaney is wonderful as the title role, and brings more depth to the character ... Read More

I've been a longstanding fan of `The Phantom of the Opera'. I've seen the stage play a record ten times, even being privileged enough to see it in Boston twice and once in New York. I've seen nearly every filmed version (I say nearly because I'm not for certain I've seen every television movie made) and I even really liked the 2004 big screen adaptation despite the fact that the leading man was dreadful.
This is, by far, the best film version.

"PHANTOM OF THE OPERA" (1925)
With the famous line, "Feast your eyes, glut your soul on my accursed ugliness," Gaston Leroux's mystery novel, faithfully adapted by Universal Studios' in 1925, Lon Chaney unmasks the pathetic, horrifying, iconic face of Erik, the mysterious mentor of the Paris opera.

Chaney's indelible portrait of both tortured men transcended cinema and entered modern culture ... Read More

Note: The movie gets five stars, this Milestone edition gets three. I REALLY wanted to like this set. I really did. I still can't believe Milestone/Image allowed this to get out the door. The 1929 print is made from the best available 35mm material BUT so much computer noise reduction was used that fast movements appear blurred and jerky. Yes Virginia, there IS such a thing as over-doing the electronic "cleanup". It almost makes me motion sick at times to watch it. And that is sad beyond belief. This is easily ... Read More

As a big fan of old horror movies, Phantom of the Opera ranks with Dracula, Frankenstein, etc. Lon Chaney was the master, and I can still remember being scared (sleep)less at the unmasking scene when I was very young. This version of Phantom is the sharpest version I have ever seen. It's a pleasure to watch again.
