The Phantom
The 21st successor to the role of Bengalla's resident superhero must travel to New York to prevent a rich madman from obtaining three magic skulls that would give him the secret to ultimate power.
Critics Sentiment
Phantom uses his ring as Fourth Skull against Drax
Drax captures Kit and Diana at Museum of World History
Sharp drop from the Skull Cave rescue to the widely mocked museum heist sequence, falling 1.3 points as critics found the action became increasingly absurd.
The Phantom received consistently mixed reviews, with critics praising the period production design and exotic locations while criticizing Billy Zane's lifeless performance and the film's campy, absurd tone. The sentiment remains fairly flat throughout, with occasional dips during the most ridiculous sequences like the museum scene, and modest peaks during the more visually impressive moments. Most reviewers found it harmless but forgettable entertainment that failed to distinguish itself in the crowded superhero landscape.
