This is the first time I ever seen this one. Though I have heard a lot of great things about it. So I was hoping going into this one that I wouldn't be disappointed due to all they hype I have read. But thankfully that wasn't the case. I found I enjoyed this one very much. It is at a slower pace then I am normally used to... but that really works with this storyline. I liked the way this movie handled entering a home without an invite. An idea I never seen before... as the way I normally see it the vampire just cannot enter... like there is an invisible force field in the way. So I got to see something I never seen in a vampire movie before... and with all the vampire movies I ever seen... that is saying a lot. This is one I definitely recommend... if you never seen it... give it a chance!

The Phantom, a review by Dragonfire

The Phantom My Thoughts I first saw this one several years ago.  I think I rented it on VHS.  I've seen parts of it on tv every so often as well.  I remembered liking the movie overall even though I couldn't remember much so I decided to go ahead and pick up the Blu-ray when I found it for $8.  This works very well as a fun, adventure type of movie.  Some of what happens is a bit silly or far fetched, but it still works overall.  The movie is very entertaining.  In some ways, it reminds me a bit of the Indiana Jones movies.  There is a lot of action throughout the movie, which keeps things moving at a fairly fast pace.  The action scenes are done well.  There is a bit of violence, though it isn't that graphic.  There is a bit of humor every so often as well too.  The story is interesting even though it is a bit silly and could have been stronger.  The characters really weren't that developed, but the cast does fine with the parts.  There aren't any extras on the Blu-ray.  When I doubled checked some information about the movie, it said there were some scenes deleted from the movie, but they aren't on the Blu-ray.  I would have liked to have seen them.  The movie is only available on Blu-ray now, though I think it was released on DVD previously. Overall, I really enjoyed this movie and am glad I decided to get the Blu-ray.

I did post a review on Epinions if anyone would like to take a look.
