Love those mid 90s non marvel non DC superhero movies
Great superhero flick based on the classic pulp fiction hero of yesteryear. Cool ideas and an interesting cast really help the film shine
Underrated. Of course its corny. It's supposed to be. Alec Baldwin kicks some ass.
A stylish and entertaining superhero film. While not perfect, it captures the dark, pulpy feel of the original character.
A ponderous film that looks awful, doesn’t have a good story, and never delivers on any of the set ups.
Was expecting cheesy fun and charm, but instead got... Idk. Little bit of a super cast though
Over the top 1940’s noir type superhero movie. Underrated as heck. I love it.
Time capsule superhero in a movie made too many decades after people would have enjoyed it.
A tongue in cheek script only gets you so far. Unfortunately the movie’s satiric efforts are very unengaging.
Much maligned but surprisingly fun. Alec Baldwin has the perfect voice for the character and Ian McKellen is always good.

When the police search the scene, Cranston must assume the identity of the attorney.

As Cranston meets with him, Delthern is suddenly shot, and Cranston is quickly caught up in a new mystery.
The second and final Grand National Pictures film to feature The Shadow, played again by Rod La Rocque. In this version, Lamont Cranston is an amateur detective and host of a radio show with his assistant Phoebe (not Margo) Lane. Cabbie Moe Shrevnitz and Commissioner Weston also appear.
The Shadow battles a villain known as The Black Tiger, who has the power to make himself invisible and is trying to take over the world with his death ray.
The Shadow (Kane Richmond) cracks a case of missing jewels, murder and plastics.
Falsely accused of murdering a crooked newspaper reporter, suave detective Lamont Cranston -- aka the Shadow -- vows to track down the real killer.
While investigating the theft of a valuable jade statue known as "The Missing Lady" -- and the subsequent murder of an art dealer -- imperceptible sleuth Lamont Cranston aka the Shadow (Kane Richmond) finds himself being blamed for the crime. It doesn't help the Shadow's claims of innocence when more bodies begin piling up. Good thing he knows exactly who's guilty among an increasingly smaller group of suspects.
Based on the 1930s comic strip, The Shadow is put up against his archenemy Shiwan Khan, who plans to take over the world by holding a city to ransom using an atom bomb. Using his powers of invisibility and "the power to cloud men's minds", The Shadow comes blazing to the rescue with explosive results.
