Bad Films In Good Company

In the weird days of comic book adaptations, before Nolan drained the fun and Marvel found the formula, we have 1996’s The Phantom. It’s a bright, colourful action-packed adventure that was supposed to launch Billy Zane as an A-list superstar. Unfortunately, it opened against Michael Bay’s finest 2.5 hours and there was no way it was going to come off best. It’s 21 years old now, and it’s time to see if time has been kinder than the box office. But did the poor performance mean this film was Kristy’s swansong? Does Treat WIlliams’ perfomance live up to his name? And can any film with James Remar be less than entertaining? Join us in the jungle to see whether this purple clad crime fighter is a swashbuckling superhero or a relic of the past. What do you think?
