Johnathon W @Hoppynsc Aug 24 Fun but flawed adaptation of the original masked superhero thanks to a game cast but direction that is lacking. The cast is solid, with Billy Zane clearly relishing the chance to play a hero for a change while Treat Williams hams it up brilliantly as the main villain. Behind the camera, director Simon Wincer captures the style of the classic comic strip but suffers from some subpar action sequences and an overly complicated plot, especially the first half where characters keep going back and forth from Africa to New York City. Overall, still a fun watch but not perfect. See more Kyal B @ky4lB Mar 31 Loved this movie as a kid and it's a perfect mix of what I love. It's basically Batman meets Indiana Jones. Time period and the action are fantastic. The actors are all really game, with Treat Williams being a real standout. Loved this movie since I saw in theaters when I was 7 and now I get to rewatch it with my son. Still holds up as a swashbuckling adventure flick. Can't wait for the 4k to come out this year See more Thomas W @Enigma0999 Dec 4 One of the worst superheroes i have ever seen. The overall story and characters just doesn't work well and the phantom should of been shot and killed dozen times over but no one can aim.

Characters are lazily introduced, important elements are poorly established and key moments flash by. Zane is fine but has a tendency to rush his lines. At times it feels like Wincer forgot to direct his actors and to shoot half of the shots for every scene. You're never invested because there's almost no depth anywhere.
