The Alec Baldwin Shadow was the best made but could have picked a better story and presentation of the Shadow's background. The pneumatic tubes outside the buildings carrying messages around town was corny as were agents passing messages in the street and The Shadow appearing in broad daylight before Margo Lane rescued him was definitely out of character. The more serious the characters and storylines are held to, the better it works. The old George Pal Doc Savage movie was absolutely terrible. Clint Walker would have been better as Doc Savage at that time and the other characters were miscast and misrepresented as well as the story being terrible. Duane "The Rock" Johnson would be an acceptable Doc Savage, but the other members of Doc's group have to be handled as seriously as the storyline to work.
