    Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
    Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
    Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
    Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
    backlashhg I remember this show appearing sporadically on Indian television (which had a ridiculously poor selection of good cartoons) when I was a kid. Whenever it appeared it was practically an event for me and my brother; we loved it. It was just so cool and different, and I do remember it being totally unlike the tacky cartoons that made up most of kids programming in those days.Its also different from other quality cartoons like WB's Batman or TMNT. Its really atmospheric and the ideas and sci-fi tech are very unique and cool (for example. Phantom uses these two cylinders as guns/weapons).The character designs are a little weird. Everyone is quite... elongated.Totally recommend it, I hope it comes out on DVD so I can catch the episodes I missed.
    astiwana I saw this series when it was telecast on the Indian National television channel "Doordarshan" in 1997. To me, it ranks as one of the best cartoon adaptations (that too, futuristic) to date. However, the channel discontinued the series sometime in 1999. After that, even I was unable to catch the series (if at all telecast). So I'm still left with that incomplete feeling.Since IMDb forces one to write too many lines, I'm repeating the above text in its entirety. Sorry.

    varot98@yahoo.com I like this version of The Phantom because it has lots of futuristic details, including vehicles, character designs.It has the way to attract their fans to see this one. The reason I watch it because I like The Phantom and I really want to know what really happen at the train station, where all the incidents happen at first.Well, I like this one. Especially The Phantom's designs, vehicles and weapons.
    Gislef Phantom 2040 is probably the best animated action-adventure series I've seen. It doesn't cater to a low-intelligence audience: you've really got to watch this, and watch it carefully, to follow everything that's going on. Lots of intricate inter-plotting of episodes and characters, somewhat sympathetic bad guys (Ron Perlman's Graf in particular, one of the "grayest" villains ever), funky artwork, and a well-developed future society (compare it to, say, "The Magician" (1998)). Hopefully someone will carry this in repeats at some point (Sci-Fi Channel, maybe), because it's a show that should have stayed on forever.
