The Phantom (1996)

Poor

There's not alot to say about this film...other than it's just plain poor. The story is poor, the sets are poor, the writing is poor, and the acting is POOR. Billy Zane, not the greatest actor, is awful in this movie. I've seen him in other films before and he did okay, but he must have needed the money to pay some bills. He seems to be sleep walking through the whole thing. Kristy Swanson, who usually helps any film with her looks can't save The Phantom. Her acting too, is bad. I grew up reading The Phantom comics and was really looking forward to the movie, but I was completely disappointed. The worst part of the movie though..was it made me poor. I spent money to see it at the theatre.
