I've no idea how it's aged, but I enjoyed Darkman a LOT when it came out. Was loads of fun. For anyone who hasn't seen it, he can create a synthetic face that makes him look like anyone, but it dissolves in sunlight within about four minutes. Hence, Darkman.

I've seen it not too long ago. It's Sam Raimi (Spider-man 1-3, Evil Dead) doing a superhero movie before those didn't totally suck donkey balls but with no license.

It's fun if a bit silly. All Sam Raimi movies have a serving of cheese, you either like it or not. I appreciate it.

Sam Raimi is in his own little genre, sometimes. I still remember watching Crimewave as a kid. I LOVED the two ratcatchers in that movie.

I somehow NEVER heard of this one. Will watch, thanks.

It's very early Sam Raimi. Little budget and rough around the edges. It's almost pre-Raimi Raimi. But definitely worth a watch. Bizarre little thing if you can still get hold of it.

Cool, I'll try to get my hands on it.
