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

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

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

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.

Intended as the first of a series of films based on the old pulp magazine, it suffered the same fate as another classic from that era, Doc Savage. A pity it really is an entertaining film with loads of action, Alec Baldwin, Penelope Ann Miller, John Lone, Ian McKellen , the late Peter Boyle and Jonathan Winters. Set in the 1930's it successfully captures the period in look and style. My only real complaint on this film was the decision by some low-forehead at MCA to release this in full-screen.

Alec Baldwin does a fine job of portraying the main character.
But the villains in this movie are so generic it's not even funny.
The Shadow tries desperately to be Batman or some other comic hero but falls flat.
Boring story, boring fx, the usual damsel in distress garbage.
Dull, boring, unmemorable.
At least Baldwin was good eye candy back then.
Otherwise I can't recommend this generic super hero movie.
Pass.
