1990 flick I liked back in the day. I saw the DVD on sale last year, picked it up, and just got around to watching it.
Stars Liam Neeson as a scientist wronged by the guy who played the retarded guy (Bennie?) in L.A. Law. As I recall, this was Bennie's first big role since LA Law... and he plays such an evil bastard it was shocking to see.
Co-written by Sam Raimi, and you can see some of Sam's signature camera tricks.
I had remembered how it ended... Darkman slipping on a disguise and hiding in a crowd... but I laughed outloud when I saw whose face he put on. I had forgotten all about that.
As "superhero" movies go, I think this one holds up. Worth viewing if you've never seen it... I think I bought it for $7 at Target (along with Time Bandits for the same price...).
Anyone know if Darkman was a comic book?

Darkman
I liked Darkman. It wasn't incredible, but it was entertaining.

Watched it with my kid last night, who is on a Sam Raimi kick.
I never caught before that the villain was clearly homosexual. They even made subtle jokes about it.
I just thought he was neat, articulate, urbane, and hanging out with the younger guy because he was stylish.
