Movie Reviews of Darkman Trilogy (Darkman / Darkman II: The Return Of Durant / Darkman III: Die Darkman Die)
Movie Review: Not What I had Hoped for
Summary: 2 Stars
I vaguely remember seeing bits and pieces of the first Darkman movie several years before I purchased the box set. The movie intrigued me. I'm usually wary of comic book or superhero-esque movies, but in retrospect it well done. I've wanted to purchase this collection for years and I was excited to finally find it and buy it.
After watching the entire trilogy I must say that I was sorely mistaken. None of the movies are particularly well done, nor are they engaging. Darkman, while as interesting as he is conflicted, comes off as a bland one trick pony. All three movies play out the same way: Darkman has an enemy, he makes disguises to elude and foil the antagonists, and then he has a showdown with the big boss of their respective movies. Darkman never fails to come off as a poor man's mix of Batman and the Shadow in any of the three movies. The first installment of the series was the best, but it doesn't make up for the other two. The acting is bland, the plot is campy, and the action leaves much to be asked for. This, sadly, is a consitent trend in all three movies.
My biggest complaint lies in the last two movies. They not only appeared to be rushed, but it seemed as though the third movie used exact scenes from the second movie during the exposition. It was a tacky and unimaginative move on director's part.
I can't recommend this movie to anyone else unless you really like the Darkman series. He may be an interesting character, but this movie did not do him justice. Also, for all those who care, there's not much in terms of special features on any of the disks. Just three sub par movies.
