Despite handsome production values and a crackerjack supporting cast, "The Shadow" remains a temperamental trinket that lacks the temerity to truly explore, as its titular hero would say, what evil truly lurks in the hearts of men.April 25, 2007
Despite similarities as a vigilante creature of the night, however, the Shadow -- a character that enjoyed its greatest success in radio after being created in pulp novels -- lacks the visceral appeal of Batman and won't strike the same chord.June 24, 2006
Baldwin's low-key performance lacks charisma, Lone alternates between lip-smacking villainy and camp humour, and Miller is chiefly a clothes-horse for a series of slinky '30s frocks.July 06, 2010
The movie has all the coherence of a bad acid flashback.August 30, 2004
It offers a diverting, nostalgic retreat to the innocent days when crime fighting was a pleasant, rich man's hobby.July 16, 2010
A pleasant, eye-pleasing movie.September 23, 2007
What's on the screen is so tired by now that you've seen it before even if this is your introduction to the Shadow.July 16, 2010

Very underrated and incredibly entertaining...April 25, 2007
Polished to a high surface gloss, but nothing lurks beneath; nothing at all.April 25, 2007
It has enough of the innocent exoticism and splendor of silent thrillers to suggest a continuity with the past missing from most other movies; all that's required is a capacity to sit back and dream.April 12, 2002
This thing is all packaging and no content, or, dare I say it, all shadow and no substance.
