Dylan Sprouse was what made me want to watch, the movie itself kept me watching . . .

I had been eagerly waiting to watch this movie ever since I had heard of and saw the the trailer not once but three times even.
I found it so refreshing to have an American actor that I had grown up watching (Suite Life on Deck) included in this production and I must commend him on his efforts and how well he portrayed his character it made me happy to see him speak mandarin.
I did quite enjoy this movie and although having never heard of the supposed opera it is based off, I found myself very much fascinated and besotted with the storyline. It was intriguing the way the story played out and I was stunned by the mesmerising visual effects which I was very impressed with especially the way the bracelets fused with her skin and how vibrant the fireworks were. It was also quite nice that it was more of a reversed damsel in distress as well, the amount of times she ended up saving him :D
I enjoyed the couple pairing and would have liked to have seen a bit more of them together after they had come to realise the truth and that were in fact on each others side all along having been innocent children at the time of the disaster cause.
Although the ending was somewhat obvious and to be expected it was still slightly unfortunate but it didn't leave me too disheartened as he continued onwards to achieve his dream.
To be honest I must have been too much into the movie as I didn't pay all that much attention to the music, oops, but I certainly enjoyed those that were cast for their roles very much and wouldn't mind at all watching it again if I got bored one evening.

Comedy. Horror. Romance.
Honestly this was such a great blend of the genres, there was enough humour, ghostly presence and love in the air to satisfy my cravings.
I do find that these particular 3 genres don't always work together, however this film showed great creativity and weaved them all into a wonderful story telling film; which I'd happily rewatch again in a heartbeat.
I thought the cast selection was great, I cannot imagine anyone else portraying the 2 main leads, I thoroughly enjoyed watching them together on screen.
I also really enjoyed the OST, the music just seemed to make the moments more special and was used for just the right scenes.
I highly recommend this great film, especially for those that have watched 'Spellbound.'
