This plain-vanilla version of the old Lee Falk comic strip stars Billy Zane as a 1930s incarnation of the Phantom, an African-based, masked hero whose forefathers have all donned the costume at one time or another. Sworn to crush evil, the Phantom leaves his jungle lair to venture to New York, where he takes on a charming but criminal mastermind (Treat Williams). There's no oomph to this film at all. The very capable director Simon Wincer (Phar Lap) seems to be working with a leaden production and an inferior talent pool behind the camera. The talent in front of the camera do their best, but it isn't enough. --Tom Keogh

I never understood why this movie wasn't a success.I remember seeing the trailer and really getting pumped for it,I've probably seen over 15 times.Billy Zane is one of those actors who is great but never really took off,and look out for Treat Williams who is a delight as the villanious businessman,and Catherine Zeta-Jones is hot as ever as the leader of the female air-pirates.If you're looking for a fun,fast-paced actioner for the whole family,then the Phantom is the one you're looking for!

Billy Zane portrays the Phantom as a confident, masculine, buff hero, clad in the silliest costume seen on film since Howard the Duck.

Billy Zane of course went on to bigger roles (and better costumes) in Titanic and Cleopatra, but he seems to truly be having fun here. Well worth watching, if you can get past the purple ...

The Phantom takes some getting used to. Being familiar with Lee Falk's comic strip of the same name, the Phantom was part Batman, part Tarzan, being in the jungle in a skin tight purple spandex outfit, offending villains with his fashion sense.
Actually the film covered the story fairly accurately: a boy on a ship whose father was killed by pirates, washes ashore (no worse for wear, oddly) and is adopted by a fierce Caribbean tribe and grows to be The Phantom, aka The Ghost Who Walks. ... Read More

When I was "knee high to a grasshopper" in the early fifties - my favorite comic hero was The Phantom. Not even Batman or Superman could come close. This is a good movie - that could have been great.
The reason is that - unfortunately for those of us Phantom fans - Jeffrey Boam (Co-Producer) - an immensely talented individual - carried much of his Brisco County, Jr. "mantra" of "Just below over the top" - into this film. If he hadn't scripted The Phantom's skull ring a/k/a "The Orb" (Brisco ... Read More

This movie was great. Billy Zane was great for the part of the Phantom. The setting in the early 1900s was great, made things interesting. Also the superhero costume was fantastic, loved the design.
