Review of The Phantom

The Phantom (2009)
7/10
Well done, but not for young viewers
3 November 2010
The movie is about the next generation phantom. It involves some high-tech, which we have all come to expect. I would caution parents that this is a more serious and more violent movie than the older one. Definitely should be rated at least PG-13 for violence. You might want to preview it before showing it to children under 12. I liked the movie because it keeps you guessing. It is not exactly predictable. I did not like that there was no rating. I showed my younger children some disturbing scenes because I thought it would be more comic book like the first one. It is definitely more serious and more violent than something like the Fantastic-4. I did appreciate the absence of profanity and sex. There are a couple of kissing scenes, but the movie is very discreet. It is definitely an action film, and those who like "street running" will particularly enjoy some of the scenes. It is very realistic. Nearly everything is kept in the realm of the possible. Overall a great guy movie.
