Omar G Darkman (1990). Rating 3.5/5 stars. More than the Phantom of the Opera, which was not scientific, this film is inspired by the films of Vincent Price where he is disfigured or burned and returns to take revenge on his enemies one for one, as in House of Wax (1953), The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971), Dr. Phibes Rises Again (1972), Theatre of Blood (1973). Madhouse (1974). Dr. Peyton Westlake, who as Darkman seeks revenge as did Professor Henry Jarrod, Dr. Anton Phibes, Edward Lionheart or Paul Toombes aka Doctor Death. Lían Neason was chosen with the height of 6'4" just like Vincent Price. The villains are like the villains of RoboCop (1987). Spawn (comic) took from Darkman that was burned and that returns to see his partner with another.

As we know, Tim Burton's Batman has been cemented in comic-to-film legend (I agree with Michael Keaton, that the spate of comic movies littering the 2010s owe their existence to that very first iteration of the dark knight); so Sam Raimi went ahead and made his own "comic book style" movie, with his own made up dark brooding antihero, taking justice into his own hands. Hence, we get Darkman... Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Landon J Real Raimi fans will know and love this one. I think, an amazing early, early dark superhero genre entry. Some may be turned off by the directors antics/mannerisms but overall I think I really delivers on it's premise. Liam Neeson is great in this! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Jonathan O This is the first superhero film before Sam Raimi's Spider-Man and Sam did really outstanding directing to make a R rated vigilante hero with his body badly burn and missing several body parts and using his technology to replace people's body to be a hero or a villain and really unbelievable stunts work and amazing cinematography and good writing to make it a original superhero/vigilante film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Laurian D A mad movie, in the best possible way. It's disturbing but also exhilirating, funny but also moving at times, a very stand-out, unconventional dark tale. And the helicopter ride is one of the most spectacular scenes and stunts you'll ever see in a movie. You'll know what I'm talking about when you get there. Definitely worth watching, and you'll surely do that more than once. Skip the sequels though. Just like the sequels to The Crow, they should have never been made.
