Review of Darkman (1990) by Hellholehorror — 16 Feb 2022
Darkman is a classic eighties film with those amazing effects that just look so real and so much fun. There is plenty of silly action in this film with great dialogue from the actors who seem larger than life.
It is hard to fault his excellent action film that sets the vein for Spider-Man (2002) from the same director. The action is almost like a cartoon but as it is handled so well it looks purely and simply ace.
Highly enjoyable action film with a bit of brains and character behind its stunning retro effects. Splash together a bit of RoboCop (1987), some The Evil Dead (1981) and The Phantom of the Opera (1925) and you have Darkman! Brilliantly enjoyable comic book action fable.
Gotta love the cheesy bad guys and hero.
