I went into Darkman knowing nothing about the film. My familiarity with Sam Raimi's filmography only pertained to Evil Dead and Spider-Man. I assumed Darkman is existing IP. It surprised and delighted me to learn it was an original creation from Sam Raimi and the other writers. I recognize the effects were very cheesy. Today, all comic book movies feel the same. I appreciated Sam Raimi's direction with Darkman. It made the movie feel like I watched a graphic novel. The story is a little bizarre. With a character named Darkman and all the time spent on the skin regeneration, it was weird how few scenes happen at night. Despite that, the infiltration from Darkman to Durant's gang added a neat mental element I've not seen before. It's an interesting concept and it executed well.

I love Sam Raimi and really enjoy Liam Neeson, but for whatever reason I did not see this movie until now. I had no idea what it was about going in, and I am not sure if that made me like it more or less. I enjoyed it, but in modern culture that is saturated with superhero content, this one is lost in the grander scheme of things. Rating: 3/5 - 75% - Worth Watching

Grateful because I can only assume this is the primary reason for the Raimi/spider-man green light. And I can see why! This is frankly iconic throughout. Why the fuck didn't Liam Neeson do any other performances like this though? This is by far the best I've seen him on screen and he pulls off the wild overacting one-liner Campbell/Cage-channeling performance so well. Would love to see a Trainspotting type sequel where time has passed and everyone is older. I just want this sweet Raimi/Neeson collab back.

Not the most original movie with 2024 eyes but it is entertaining as hell.

The concept of this movie is incredible, so incredible that you imagine it’s derived from a comic like every other superhero or anti-hero out there, and it’s not. This all came out from that magical mind of Sam Raimi, and you can feel Raimi’s presence. If you’ve ever seen his Spider-Man movi More

What I really appreciate about movies like this and _The Crow_ is how they capture the B-movie feel of comics (yeah, this isn’t technically based on a comic, but conceptually and aesthetically it’s exactly the same feel). Don’t get met wrong, movies like _The Dark Knight_ are an incredible ach More

You ever seen a book where the pages got stuck together? If you try to force them apart, sometimes they rip and mix paragraphs, or the print bleeds from one page to another. That's how I felt of the script while watching this film. Everyone would rightfully compare this to Batman, for reasons I'll e More

I recently rewatched Darkman and there is just so much to like about this movie. In comparison to today's superhero overdose, Darkman just sticks to the basics and tells an incredible emotional and captiv More
