Movie Reviews of Darkman
Movie Review: "Burn in He11! hahahaha"-Darkman
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie never gets boring to me. I almost always dig the superhero vigilante type flicks. Darkman truly hasn't aged too much. It still feels just as fresh as when I first saw it.
The movie is action packed and unintenionally funny at times. I always get a kick out of seeing him flying out the explosion in flames. Liam Neeson does a very good job as Darkman but Larry Drake as Durant. Is the best in this. He plays his role as the ruthless villian very well.
The special effects of course don't compare to action films now. But they were great for that time. I also like Darkman's appearance. This is a really good action flick. I think most action buffs will be satisfied with this.
Summary of Darkman
When attorney Julie Hastings (Frances McDormand) uncovers corrupt city real estate dealings, evil thugs attack her scientist boyfriend, Peyton Westlake (Liam Neeson). Left for dead after his lab is detonated, he miraculously survives when the ensuing blast hurls him into the nearby harbor. Treated as a John Doe at a city hospital, he is unknowingly submitted to radical therapy which numbs his nerves to feeling--but which heightens his strength and his emotions. Once conscious, Peyton escapes from the hospital and builds a ramshackle lab in an abandoned industrial plant. Horribly burned and scarred by the lab explosion, he uses synthetic skin to impersonate his would-be murderers and seek retribution for their evil deeds. Peyton also tries to reunite with Julie, who believes him to be dead. While the film has an average script, it is overcome by the flashy cinematography of Bill Pope, the bombastic score by Danny Elfman, and the well-choreographed direction of Sam Raimi. The director confidently walks the line between suspense, action, comedy, and romance as he examines a bitter, victimized antihero who risks becoming as monstrous on the inside as he appears on the outside. --Bryan ReesmanAction & Adventure DVD Video
