9 Superhero Films That Are Incredibly Boring

The Phantom

It hurts us to write anything bad about Billy Zane because he’s Billy Zane, but 1996’s The Phantom had about as much thrill and excitement as a moldy loaf of bread. It looked good – especially Zane as Kit Walker/The Phantom – but that’s where the accolades unfortunately end.

While the film has become a cult classic since its release, it’s more for nostalgia than anything else. There were two or three decent action-packed scenes, but they were stuffed between a lot of air and white noise. Even matchsticks couldn’t keep our eyes open long enough between these far and few high points.

Considering the decorated history of the character, it’s a surprise that The Phantom hasn’t been rebooted yet. If the inevitable does finally happen, however, we hope the new filmmakers make a more electrifying film, at the very least. Do it for Billy Zane, guys and girls!
