Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
A mixed bag that received mixed reviews when released in 1994, this lavish film works overtime to honor the spirit and style of the vintage pulp novels and radio shows that made The Shadow a household name in the 1930s and '40s. Alec Baldwin plays the Shadow, a.k.a. Lamont Cranston, who arrives in New York from his decadent life in Tibet, fully reformed and disciplined in his ability "to cloud men's minds." A crime fighter who lurks in the dark recesses of the city, the Shadow faces his most deadly challenge when Shiwan Khan (John Lone), the last surviving descendant of Genghis Khan, hatches a plot to conquer the world. The scheme involves a madman (Tim Curry), a hapless scientist (Ian McKellen), and various traps designed to catch and kill the Shadow, who must also contend with his blossoming romance with Margo Lane (Penelope Ann Miller), a slender beauty capable of a little mind play of her own. The movie's art deco production design turns out to be a scene-stealer when the plot drags, and in the title role Baldwin is never given enough good material to create a compelling character. Still, The Shadow is true to the legacy that inspired it, admirably avoiding any conspicuous compromise of its 1930s style and setting. If you can't get into the story, you're sure to be hooked by the look of the production, which is never less than dazzling. --Jeff Shannon

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fun superhero film, good period peice
The Shadow is one of the oldest superheroes, predating even Batman. This film wisely keeps to his roots.

Set in New York in the 1930s Alec Baldwin's Shadow fights a crazed descendant of Ghengis Khan. The sets and costumes are first rate, the performances are campy but fun.

It's a good light superhero film with thrills and laughs. It makes you wish for more.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - comic book character comes to life
It is an excellent movie of the comic book hero The Shadow. It is very well done.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Clouding men's minds
Well, mine at least. It pays to let a few details slip by, in this one.

Originally a radio play, The Shadow appeared in at least one series each of novels and comic books, as well as some other movie renderings before this one. He has everything you look for in a superhero - independent wealth to support his habit, plenty of leisure time to pursue it in, dashing good looks to ensure a love interest, and dark doings in the "lost years" of his past. Despite the many sources the scriptwriters ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - ACTION
I have to say Allec Baldwin did a fantasic job in this movie. I love it If you like suspense and action this is the movie to buy you wont regret it. It has alot of interesting characters by the way Alec plays the role of the grim reaper alec has a very interesting power that will keep you with your eyes wide open. You won't want to pause your dvd. Girls buy this for your husband he will be happy. This is a guy movie but, women will enjoy this just as much I give it 2 thumbs up



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Teenville
This strongly resembles the Superman films: it was designed for teenage audiences, with lots of violence and noise, and it is utterly brainless. The most interesting question is: Can Alec Baldwin act? Vacuous and silly, the movie no doubt made a lot of money. And I'm out $6 for believing the reviewers on Amazon.com.
