Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed 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. Mar 13, 2014 Full Review Scott Weinberg FEARnet "Fun enough junk" would be a fair way to describe both Darkman sequels. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 13, 2007 Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures Weak sequel. Rated: 2/5 Sep 22, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 18, 2005 Full Review Fred Topel About.com 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. Rated: 0/5 Jul 14, 2003 Full Review Dragan Antulov rec.arts.movies.reviews Rated: 5/10 Nov 12, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

Landon J 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 11/08/24 Full Review Justin T 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." Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/24 Full Review Mark R How does this film have a 19% audience score? I LOVE this movie. So much Durant! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Liam D It will no where be as creative or fun as the original but for a direct to DVD sequel this is a pretty fun Thriller Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/01/23 Full Review robert p The first Darkman was a good movie, however the second Darkman was only worthy of one star! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member While certainly not as good as the first movie with Liam Neeson, I thought this was a fun romp in its own campy way. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
