Critics Consensus: Bringing a classic pulp character to the big screen, The Shadow features impressive visual effects, but the story ultimately fails to strike a memorable chord.

Reviews

Tri-City Herald

Gary Wolcott

Like Batman, Dick Tracy and The Crow, The Shadow is more of a mood than an interesting yarn... But the film possesses a warmth and humor missing from the others.

What makes Baldwin's performance, and the film, so enjoyable is the refreshing absence of angst. Cranston Is no tortured hero... He's a good guy and he knows it, and he's not afraid to enjoy the high life when he's not fighting crime.

The Shadow seeks to be another Batman. It is more likely to be another Doc Savage or Flash Gordon - both lackluster attempts to translate past pulp heroes into big-screen money.

For the most part, the film is simply boring.

It's a failed attempt to revive a former pulp hero who has been passe for years.
