* WTHCostumingDepartment: The Phantom's superhero costume is... [[BrokenBase controversial]]. On one hand, it's very faithful to the source material, but transposing the purple spandex from [[SeinfeldIsUnfunny a comic strip in the 1930's]] in a very literal way to a live-action action blockbuster in the 1990's is pretty gaudy, if not outright laughable. There's a big reason why MovieSuperheroesWearBlack became codified [[Film/XMen1 a mere four years later]].

* LostInMediasRes: Often cited as the source of the film's failure. The film actually begins with a potted summary of the original Phantom's origin story 400 years before the events of the plot, led in by the caption "FOR THOSE WHO CAME IN LATE". Both the title card and the fact that the brief prologue doesn't intersect with the plot until the climax might have hindered as much as it helped.
