Darkman is up to his old tricks. He's robbing from the criminals and keeping for himself so he can further perfect his synthetic skin which dissolves after 99 minutes in the light. His old arch-nemesis, Robert Durrant (Larry Drake) returns, having survived the helicopter crash in the first film. Durant attempts to rebuild his crumbling empire by devising a new particle gun to sell on the market. After Durant kills a young scientist for his warehouse, Darkman goes on a rampage, vowing to destroy Durant once and for all. Darkman concocts masks of his enemies and infiltrates Durant's gang, turning everyone on themselves. This sequel is above the typical direct-to-video quality and director May has captured Raimi's comic-book style, but the energy that propelled the original is sorely missing here. Welcome back is Drake who once again astonishes with a gleefully maniacal performance, rightfully stealing the show. Replacing the title character is Arnold Vosloo, who coolly plays Darkman without the enraged melodramatics Liam Neeson brought to his portrayal of the tormented hero. This sequel was actually filmed after Darkman III: Die, Darkman, Die but was released on video first despite the fact that Universal thought it looked good enough to release into theaters. ~ Sean D. MacLaggan, Rovi

    If you like bad acting and slow plots, this just might be the film for you! Somebody tried to supplement psychedelic lighting and flashes (those things that trigger epileptic seizures) for real acting, so our Darkman ends up throwing all of these silly little tantrums like some big 2-year old. Lots of very unrealisitc characters and sorry acting by all involved. Really poor showing for this one, so just stick to the comics if you've got them.

    It takes what made the first film good and turns it into something wrong. without the past character development or plot. many of these characters would not behave as they did in this film. not with what we know about them in the first film. they should have just left the first one.

    Yes   |   No

    This movie is made in three parts. This is the second movie in three. Please watch the first before you see this one. If you understand the first the second and third are much easier to get into.
