The Phantom is a fun, fast-paced action movie aimed at younger people, with lots of comic action (it's based on a comic book) and some jokes. A cheesy plot, an awful ending (The Phantom fires a laser from his ring which withstands the skull's energy), poor acting, and outdated special effects, however, kept The Phantom from excelling.
