Review of Darkman (1990) by Ken S — 21 Jan 2015
Sam Raimi wanted to make "Batman", they didn't give him the job. He then lobbied to make "The Shadow", but again he lost out. So he decided to give up and create his own superhero.
The result is very original and well made "Darkman". Sure it can be strange and cheesy, but it is definitely a fun and violent action adventure movie. Neeson is terrific. Part of me wishes that he had gotten the job to make "The Shadow", because he really could've made that film better (though I am glad "Batman" went to Tim Burton).
Still "Darkman" is a lovely alternative to that, and I enjoy it a lot.
