Good Movie. - sampid
Sam Raimi's "Darkman" is a highly entertaining and energetic combination of science fiction,action and horror!The performances are good,especially Liam Neeson is really believable as a disfigured doctor Peyton Westlake/Darkman.It's nice to see also an underrated Larry Drake("Dr Giggles")as a main villain.There are some huge gaps in logic,but I don't care.The score by Danny Elfman is fantastic and there are some nice visual effects!Darkman...Worth a watch - Paulywood
Darkman was a movie with top of the line special effects, unfortunately there from 1990. A decent enough story about loss and revenge. A young Liam Neeson plays the troubled, disfigured scientist who just wants his life, and appearance back. Worth a watch if you can overlook the dated effects. If nothing else, Darkman should at least give you a couple laughs in comparison to what we have come to expect in an action flick.The lost and forgotten hero... - movie_goer
Never heard of this movie, but found it by fluke.
Darkman is Intriguing, Orginal and fast pace (something i like in movies).
The director toke the off beat approach, plus it was made before the over budget Hero movies becames popular. I find Most hero movies have way too much Violence and The History backtrack of the Villians and Heroes can be daunting. This is 1 uncomplicated but sophisticated and underatted movie.
