I finally saw it today and absolutely loved it. There are some minor criticisms about certain parts of the music and the singing, but they didn't do much harm to me. My only real gripe was the claps and electric guitar during "Phantom of the Opera." But the story was awesome and I liked the 1917/1870 interplays. I've never seen the play, so I don't know if that's the same case.
The score was awesome, with the full orchestra and such. Emmy Rossum and Jennifer Ellison are indeed very, very cute and the movie as a whole was beautiful and emotional and one of my favorites of the year.
