Title: if the filmmakers had only read the book
Product review: the Phantom is a subject of much curiousity, both in film, and in related books. Unfortunatly, the film-makers seem not to have read the book. There is much bloody violence that is simply NOT a part of the story, nor is it needed in their interpretation. I have just finished watching the DVD of this film. It dishonored the author.However, I did give it one star....I was curious to see how the film-makers completed the story. I was not satisfied. There is what I would call "gratuitous" blood-letting.....it was unneccessary.Since I borrowed this DVD from a library, I cannot say that I was cheated on the price, but, I would not recommend it.I would recommend reading the book. It is far better than this film.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
