I love the 25th Anniversary Video Recording. Here are things I liked about it and some criticisms/flaws.
Good things/likes:
-Cast: Ramin Karimloo, Sierra Boggess, and Hadley Fraser, and the rest of the cast were amazing. I love Sierra's Christine and Ramin's Phantom.
-Grand Finale
-Music
-Costumes
-Sets
Criticisms/flaws:
-No mirror bride
-Phantom laughing maniacally: Yes, the Phantom is insane, disturbed, and broken inside, but this makes him seem purely evil, which he is not. I want to go see the show on Broadway, so I'll have to mentally prepare for the parts when he laughs maniacally.
-No chandelier rise
