The Shadow - 1994 - Alec Baldwin

[The Sage]

I love it even though the movie steals alot from other super-hero movies. I thought Baldwinn was great as The Shadow.

I don't know if stole from other superhero movies, considering a good number of superheroes were spawned from The Shadow.

It's supposedly him with prosthetic makeup, but it looks just like one of his brothers...

It's Baldwin with a prostetic nose and contact lenses.

A pretty decent attempt at a Shadow movie, and one that I actually liked. But it ultimately lacked in alot of ways, and I would describe it as an "ok" movie. Nothing great, but certainly not anything completely horrible.

The Shadow still gives me a hard on to this day! Alec Baldwin gave a great performance as Lamont "I dreamnt I tore off all the skin on my face" Cranston, Jerry Goldsmith created a masterful, cult classic score, Russel Mulcahy created a very atmospheric tone and mysterious feel to the film, like KEvin says, it really captures the 30's/40's feel and it's just great fun to watch. Of all the superhero films, this has always been the one film I would have sold my soul to the devil to see a sequel to....

The Sun Is Shining..................................

Every movie takes from other movies. Nothing is made in a vacuum. The comic Batman was inspired by the Shadow (and Zorro, The Bat Whispers, etc) and The Shadow movie was inspired by the first Batman movie, as well as other things.

It's like people who like to think that the movie Doc Ock wasn't partly inspired by the sentinels from The Matrix. OF COURSE it was. There is no shame in that. EVERYTHING comes from something else.
