Darkman (1990) - Watch Full Movie Online | Moviea.me

Enter Darkman.

Sam Raimi’s trial run for the Spider-Man franchise is a whole bunch of fun. Liam Neeson plays Dr. Peyton Westlake, a super scientist who after a major run-in with the villainous Robert G. Durant (Larry Drake), reinvents himself as Darkman, a super-anti-hero who sets about ridding L.A. of its mobsters.

It’s a comic book film that isn’t based on a comic book, Raimi inventing his own tortured protagonist whilst homaging similar beings of eras past. All the silliness of such far...

And, it's a comic book movie, it is over the top, it is campy, it packs serious action into a short little plot that still manages to be compelling. The MCU could take lessons on story craftin...

Seen this one a few times over the years and while some scenes were really cheesy due to the visual effects of that era, it still is quite entertaining and solid performances from Neeson and McDormand even with some of the overly dramatic dialogue especially from Neeson. Fine way to spend 90-minutes still.

"Darkman" almost seems to be an innovative combination of a superhero movie and Gaston Leroux's classic 1909 novel "The Phantom of the Opera" as it aspires to be so much more than the sum of its parts. It does often achieve an emotional poignancy (especially when it comes to the relationship between Peyton Westlake and Julie Hastings), but it is all too clear their love can never continue no matter how much each one of them wishes it to.
