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.
- Patrick Wai2026年10月14日There are so many ingredients for a great movie here. Gorgeous Art Deco sets, a fantastic recreation of 1930s New York, a huge cast, cool cars, secret headquarters, psychic powers and enough money to make it all look terrific. Unfortunately, nobody seems particularly interested in introducing any of it properly. Who is Ying Ko? Why does Cranston’s face change when he becomes The Shadow? Exactly how do his powers work? Where the hell did this descendant of Genghis Khan come from? The movie seems to assume audiences already understand The Shadow mythology. Maybe that worked better for people who remembered the old radio program, but even in 1994 that was asking a lot. Compare that with Big Trouble in Little China, which throws equally crazy mythology at us but introduces it while the story moves. Here, interesting ideas seem to simply arrive. Alec Baldwin is okay, although very much a ‘90s leading man. John Lone has considerably more presence as Shiwan Khan, and Peter Boyle occasionally looks like Marlon Brando while driving that cab like he’s qualifying for NASCAR. 😂 Ian McKellen is completely wasted. You hire Ian McKellen and give him almost nothing interesting to do? The movie also can’t quite decide whether it wants to recreate the 1930s or create a fantasy version of them. I wish they’d gone completely wild and built their own exaggerated Art Deco universe, almost like Burton’s Gotham. Instead we get some wonderfully authentic-looking period imagery alongside Khan’s men strolling around New York in armor… and, incredibly, Kenny G playing in a 1930s nightclub. The damsel-in-distress material and Asian stereotypes haven’t aged particularly well either, nor has some of the badly spoken Chinese. That’s what’s frustrating. The Shadow himself is actually an interesting character: a former criminal trying to suppress his own darkness while using psychic abilities to fight people who embrace theirs. Khan could have been his perfect opposite. There’s a much better movie hiding in that idea. Instead, we get a beautiful, expensive collection of pulp ingredients that never quite becomes a satisfying whole. Lots to look at. Lots of talent. Lots of potential. Not enough movie. 5.5/10

- Richard2025年10月19日Caught this one on TV, probably late night, back when superhero movies were still rare and pulp adaptations were trying to find their footing. Alec Baldwin plays Lamont Cranston, aka The Shadow, a vigilante with psychic powers, a dark past and a cape that billows like it’s auditioning for Batman. The setup is pure pulp: 1930s New York, an atom bomb threat and an archenemy named Shiwan Khan who wants to hold the city hostage. The Shadow uses “the power to cloud men’s minds” and a lot of dramatic whispering to save the day. The production design is gorgeous Art Deco meets noir, with swirling fog and scarlet lips. The cast is stacked: Ian McKellen, Tim Curry, Penelope Ann Miller and Peter Boyle all show up to add texture. But the tone wobbles. It’s too campy to be serious, too serious to be camp. The pacing drags, the action feels restrained and the script never quite decides if it’s parody or homage. I liked the ambition, the aesthetic and the attempt to resurrect a radio era hero. But it never quite clicked. It’s the kind of movie that made adult years feel visually rich, narratively confused and just nostalgic enough to earn a shrug.
