Conflicting visions for the desired tone of the final film result in a somewhat spotty story, haphazardly cut together after multiple reshoots and sackings. The assured pacing however keeps excitement at a high amid the brilliantly-realised gothic sets, while Chaney’s huge presence and unmatched skills with makeup create an enduring villain worthy of a more complete picture.

Grand, gloriously melodramatic production (the broad emotions of the story are perfect for a silent production) is really a showcase for Chaney's haunting, wounded portrait of pain, under a still incredibly effective (and discomforting) make-up job. Grimly atmospheric and generally well performed by its cast, highlighted by some genuinely unsettling horror set pieces (especially that frightening initial reveal of the Phantom himself!)

While the famous Lon Chaney performance and make-up, along with the grand scale opulent opera house are worth the watch, let's be honest, it's really all about that reveal scene. The bigger thing was trying figure out just exactly which version I was watching. Although the colorized scenes in the 1929 Eastman print were an interesting addition, and while the 1925 reconstruction film is a bit slow, the streamlining edits and the added soundtrack in the 1929 release really detract from the film.

The Phantom is prime niceguy incel material - weird obsession with hats; thinks capes look cool; delusions of grandeur; melodramatic unsolicited 'romantic' gestures; sense of entitlement, etc. Anyway -- Lon Chaney is terrifying. The sets are magnificent - in turn grandiose and opulent, than dark and gothic. The bits of color here and there are still awesome 100 years later. Not a huge fan of the score from Alloy Orchestra.

Over the top and theatrical. It's not my favorite version and doesn't quite live up to the hype but its still very fun to watch and Lon Chaney's Phantom still looks better than the one from more recent films. Also to be noted is that I found this movie too be about 30 minutes too long.

Lon Chaney is the only reason I watched this otherwise boring silent film. He was great, but the rest is rather meh.

T.P.O.T.A is best appreciated for its historical significance than its actual quality, which varies considerably from scene to scene. Chaney's intense physicality made him an ideal silent actor, and he puts it to good use as the deranged Phantom with an unhealthy obsession for a pretty young opera singer. It's notable for two legitimately great sequences: the unmasking of the Phantom and the colourised ball. They are masterfully executed, but the film as a whole is not.
