Law student Chris Moore is an urban daredevil who gets his kicks from racing across rooftops. When a secret organization approaches him with proof that he is actually the son of a legendary international crimefighter called The Phantom, he is thrust into a world he never knew existed - a world of exotic islands, secret lairs and a heritage that borders on royalty. Reimagined and reloaded, the classic superhero is upgraded for the 21st century with a new, state-of-the-art costume and a newly formed rivalry against some of the most techno-savvy villains to ever terrorize the world! It's explosive action and nonstop adventure from start to finish as The Phantom comes to life. 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. Flicker? Is this some sort of pun/reference to Flickr? Box on top of cable television set to access people's minds…wait a min, wasn't this device used by the Riddler in Batman Forever already? And why is there a Phantom team? In the comics very very very few people were allowed to know the secret of the Phantom, especially not the bad guys. Otherwise the whole legend of an immortal ghost who walks striking fear into the heart of evil would be useless.<br/><br/>Why is it that almost every new series has to use camera shakes, wash out colors, people running around jumping and climbing, etc? None of this shows that the producers of this version of the Phantom, The Ghost Who Walks, is taking things seriously. Everything that made the Phantom who he is in the comics is completely missing in this show.<br/><br/>American television seems to be lowering its standards every year.
