i liked this movie a lot.it kinda reminded me of a low cal version of Indian Jones and even that 1980s TV show Tales of the Gold Monkey.you can't beat it for action and excitement.plus,there's plenty of humour,and some great one liners.it can be a bit campy and over the top but that's part of its charm.Billy Zane is perfectly cast in the title role.there are some really memorable characters here.the villains are certainly interesting.this is not a movie that will change your life or anything but it should certainly entertain you on a day when you just want to sit back relax and turn your brain off for awhile.for me,The Phantom is a 7/10
