Reviews for Darkman
Despite occasional silliness, Sam Raimi's Darkman has more wit, pathos and visual flamboyance than is usual in contemporary shockers.

Wild, woolly and occasionally wondrous.

Director Sam Raimi weaves a fantasy world of exaggerated mayhem for Leeson to leap about in.

Fourteen years later, I'm still talking about this dark and amusing film. Sam Raimi is a magnificent filmmaker and deserves far more credit than he receives.

Certainly not Raimi at his best, but some knowing genre nods and an array of great effects make up much of the deficit.

Raimi's flair for jazzy visual effects and extravagant action sequences, combined with direction that's full of punch and energy, makes this the best pop roller-coaster ride around.
