Doesn't quite match the maniacal tone from Raimi's film, but sticks true to the neo-pulp whimsy that the first film paid tribute to.

"Fun enough junk" would be a fair way to describe both Darkman sequels.

Horrible sequel, even for straight-to-video fare. Why would Durant be a big villain? He was a henchman. Darkman III was a tad better, but both sequels lack the Raimi touch.

Lacks the charm of the original and replaces it with an imitation of Raimi's antics. On it's own serves as a cheesy fun "super hero" movie for fans of the original. This one however is heavy on the exposition and light on the action.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

This is an entertaining if somewhat average action sequel. The fantasy element is great and there is the action but there are holes elsewhere. This is nowhere near as good as the original but the action elements are exciting and the characters are great. This is a fair follow-up but nothing remarkable. A better than average sequel but a lower than average film. This is flawed because it is bland and empty compared to the original but fun enough. "But nothing lasts forever, pizza face."

The first Darkman was a good movie, however the second Darkman was only worthy of one star!

While certainly not as good as the first movie with Liam Neeson, I thought this was a fun romp in its own campy way.
