...boasts Broadway talent galore, beginning with Michael Crawford, the first Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Opera; here he plays all the lead male roles. The show has glorious sets by Tony luminary David Mitchell (Barnum, Annie) and 500 phantasmagorical costumes by Theoni Aldredge (A Chorus Line, Dreamgirls).

Although spoofing the conventional action movie is hardly original, Talalay's failure to comment on or corrupt the form seems naive, and betrays Tank Girl, forcing upon her the burden of morals. It's ironic that the three dimensional characters of the comic book become flat, at least in their simplistic division between good and evil, in the medium of film...
