Tea..in the immortal words of Brian Glover in An American Werewolf In London..

"Bloody awful if you ask me"

Yeah so they stuck some blood in to attempt "grit". This looks like shit on a stick.

Well, the Billy Zane movie was campy and, well, shit! But it did stick pretty close to the source. Some things just work better on the page. That costume and jungle setting are difficult to take seriously on screen. It felt like Tarzan tried on Jane's PJ's and took em for a test swing. But this move to the city and "updated" costume are a waste of time. If its not the Phantom just call it something else.

Oh yeah, only watched it, got no audio, i [frick]ing hate computers lol!!

You just shouldn't mess with classic, iconic costumes. Granted, some of them may look a little cheesy on film, but when studios make drastic changes, it almost ceases to be the character. Like when Jon Peters wanted to give Superman a black suit that had, like, detachable knives or something. That is just not the character. If they make changes, they should be subtle like Daredevil, Spider-Man, or Superman Returns.

OMFG! Did the guys at Syfy just wipe their @sses in a piece of paper and call it a script?!! Way to go guys, you screwed up Highlander by making 'The Source' and now you've completely screwed with a classic like the Phantom! Nice 'Power Ranger' suit (good call LEEE)! What's next - The Shadow? ...the Lone Ranger? Tell us SyFy, what do you plan to TOTALLY screw up next?!

'SyFy' - what a joke! Aside from reruns of Stargate, STTNG, Doctor Who and Galactica, they hardly ever play ANYTHING truly 'science fiction' anymore! They should change their name from 'Syfy' to 'The network that plays lame D-list crap' (although that might be a little harder to put on business cards and letterhead)!

I agree matchesmalone, they shouldn't bugger about with it!they could've done it something like daredevil which would've worked on film.It just doesn't work as the phantom this way

lol The Phantom originated in the 1930's. It seems like he movie was somewhat faithful, but I wouldn't really know because I have never read the Phantom.
I can understand updating it the concept, but even with that this still looks boring, and highly typical tv fare.
Even with the tv gore and the "new grittiness" aspect it still doesn't interest me

This looks a little cheesy BUT not any more cheesy than SMALLVILLE.

I'd be willing to give it a chance. The costume does need work though.

Something about that retarded looking hood, it makes him look like a snot-nosed little kid coming in after a day of playing in the snow for some hot chocolate with marshmallows.

Sorry Gibby, but Smallville looks like The Wire compared to this!
