Darkman: Revisiting Sam Raimi's cult superhero movie

  Such a fun, campy movie where you get to see Neeson ham it up. Also worth a watch is The Quick & the Dead (1995) with young Leonardo DiCaprio and a pre Gladiator Russell Crowe. Visually, both are shot very much like a comic, which certainly helped Raimi to eventually land the Spider-Man series.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I’ve never heard of this.

  If anyone mentions Darkman to me, the first thing I have to say is, “Take the fucking elephant!” 😆

  This movie rules. Excellent special effects, Sam Raimi doing his thing, the score, all of it.

  The sequels…not so good.

  I enjoyed it, my only real beef is the character origin is essentially the same as Swamp Thing… but whatever. It was fun!

  I didn’t particularly like it at the time, but that might have just been it wasn’t what I expected - should do a raimi-a-thon at some point and revisit.

  This was one of our favorite movies as kids, and my brother and I would always make jokes referencing it.

  “Take two of these and call me in the morning! Mwahahahahaha!”

    RLM is talking about this movie is my only really experience with it. I often watch them take about movies I’ve never, and likely will never see.
