Movie Review: The Phantom

The Phantom:
This is an older film that we rented. It is based on an old 30s superhero and is one of the better comic book action adventure films. The 30s superheroes have a sort of innocence that makes them endearing and fun to watch. You can get lost in the innocence of their crusade to fight evil, and in this case piracy as well. The film matches the innocence of the characters with a visual pallette that is vivid and simple. The purples, reds and browns help to create a story that is easy to sink into and enjoy as a pleasurable and entertaining adventure. This movie does what it does very well.
**** Four Stars!
