i don't know why this movie got as much hate as it did when it first came out- i think its fantastic! granted, after tim burton's 'batman' was such a success, movie studios seemed to get the wrong idea from it, it seemed like they collectively figured 'well, batman seems to be set in a 1940's era, so that's probably what made it so popular', and then proceeded to make superhero type movies that were exclusively set in the 40's. this one was a part of the glut along with 'dick tracy' and 'the shadow'. both of those were lackluster, but i think this one actually delivers! it taps into the fun adventurer swashbuckler sort of action as indiana jones, only its with a superhero. in my opinion billy zane is almost as good as a harrison ford from indy, but i know i'm in the minority on that one... no matter what people may have thought of it at the time, its totally worth revisiting because its such a fun and ridiculous romp!
