a5c7b9f00b 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&#39;s explosive action and nonstop adventure from start to finishThe Phantom comes to life. Perhaps it&#39;s because I know nothing of the Phantom, but I enjoyed this quite a lot. I don&#39;t usually pay much attention to CGI if the concept and characters are compelling, and I found they were here. I did notice (after reading the reviews here) that the jet was not very realistic, but that took little away from the overall storyline.<br/><br/>I was particularly satisfied with the involved plot line that didn&#39;t telegraph the ending. Yes, it was basically good against evil, but the characters were well done, the pace was quick and the leads were charismatic. I&#39;d like to see the romantic angle developed and an heir for the Phantom. I loved the lair and the locations, but the Indians I could&#39;ve done without. <br/><br/>I look forward to seeing SyFy pick this up. 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 &quot;street running&quot; 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.
