Critic Reviews

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
As the Phantom, Billy Zane, buff to the max, has a likable insouciance, but there's not much he can do to flesh out this relic.
-
Godfrey Cheshire, Variety
While it hardly stands to vanquish the celluloid incarnations of Superman and Batman, this version of an older cartoon crusader's exploits does have a pleasingly astute sense of its place in the great scheme of things pulp.
-
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Expect this ghost of bad movies past to walk quickly to the back bins of Blockbuster, where it should be filed under a helpful heading, monotonous and juvenile.
-
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
It's nice to see some things done the old way.
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
If Treat Williams were the Phantom and Billy Zane the capitalist villain would any significant nuances be lost?
