Critic's review of Phantoms
View all (1)

  phantoms ? the bomb?
  
  Jay and Silent Bob may think Affleck was the bomb, but he's barely a grenade in this average DTV style horror

  Slow to develop and very unprovoking when it did. Not a film that's going to make you think but good for passing time. Affleck was the bomb.
