  1. The great thing about crap like this is that it allows me to write it off immediately (just like the SPIRIT movie), and not have to follow its progress and eventually watch it.

    I would never watch anything purporting to be The Phantom that looked like THIS, even if it were the greatest adventure movie of all time.

    The idiots in Hollywood always go for 'borrowed interest" properties, and then alienate the very people who've followed these decades old properties and made them "legendary" and "evergreen" in the first place.

    Don't "re-imagine" and don't "update". Maybe THEN I'd be interested.

  2. Doesn't the PHANTOM usually take place in a tropical African JUNGLE?

    The tights were probably hot enough, but THIS?!?

    Anyone hear that?

    That sound is Lee Falk spinning.
