Along with "The Rocketeer", this one's also one of the unfortunately widely underrated films. Certainly not a milestone in film history, but a good and entertaining flick to watch with a bag of popcorn.

It's decent and enjoyable as a period piece movie from the golden age of superheroes, even if not flawless. The plot is uneven, and they make some corny and strange choices, but the action and special effect scenes are great considering when they were made, and the characters often surprisingly avoid the cliches common for that decade of movies, particularly with Lamont Cranston (Baldwin's character).

I always found it weird that he becomes the Shadow, Alec looks like William Baldwin lol. Such a corny but non-stop entertaining 90’s film. I have loved it since I was like 14.

I like those early comic book hero movies. The have a certain charme. No CGI and/or green screen but sets and principal photography.

_**Genghis Khan’s descendant intrudes upon The Shadow’s urban world in 1930**_

After some kind of epiphany and receiving training in Tibet in the 20s, Lamont Cranston (Alec Baldwin) fights corruption in New York City in 1930-31 as the mysterious Shadow. When the last descendant of Genghis Kha More

Alec Baldwin is horribly miscast as a sly, spooky vigilante in this spring-loaded combo pack of adventures culled from the old Shadow radio programs and pulp magazines. In many ways it's a spiritual successor to Big Trouble in Little China, in that it's self-parodying, ridiculous and shamele More
