I may be a bit biased since I was in attendance at one of the Fangoria magazine's "Weekend of Horror" expos and received an autographed "Darkman" t-shirt from Sam Raimi...
Still, I really enjoyed this movie. Sure there was some so-so acting and I'd much rather have seen Bruce Campbell in the lead role, but the story was fun and had that comicbook feel (which was the whole point actually).
I saw a comment stating this movie wasn't for kids...well, that's what an "R" rating means.
This movie really needs to be seen for the amazing helicopter stunt...one of the best action sequences I've seen on film.
I also think Tony Gardner did an outstanding job with the Darkman make-up and the Elfman score was good as always.
This story is a bit of a stretch of realism, but wasn't Batman, Superman and any of the other comic book heroes?
This movie isn't for everyone, but if you are a fan of the old Universal horror movies, comics, Sam Raimi and/or just good old fashioned popcorn entertainment, check this movie out.
