Darkman III: Die Darkman Die (1995)

Do The Darkman

Aw hell, since I reviewed the other two, why not part 3, eh? Continuing in pretty much the same style as part 2, Darkman 3 gives us a new villain in the form of Jeff Fahey. Fahey's into marketing steroids and he's a lousy husband and father. Darkman's on hand to throw a wrench in his steroid operation. But when Fahey captures Darkman(thus screwing him once again right when he's on the verge of perfecting his synthetic skin. Man, this guy's always having the rug pulled out from under him at the last minute), he finds a way to make a super steroid from Darkman's blood, thus injecting his henchmen with the steroid and giving them Darkman's strength. He plans to make big bucks with this neat new drug. Darkman gets away and goes after Fahey, but along the way becomes infatuated with Fahey's wife and daughter who he feels sorry for since they are treated like dirt. Darkman does what he does best by being master of disguise and sneaking around Fahey's operation. One amusing scene has him wearing Fahey's face and searching his home for a computer disc and then finding himself in the middle of a surprise birthday party thrown for him. Of course it all leads to the big confrontation with Fahey and his supergoons. Typical, yet fun little action flick. There's a little bit more of an attempt to go for Darkman's emotional side again, moreso than the last film. Vosloo's not gonna get the academy's attention around Oscar time, but he's still suave and cool as all hell as Darkman. Fahey makes for a rather sinister, soft spoken villain. He's no Robert G Durant, but he's a mean SOB. If you liked the style of the second film, then there's no reason you shouldn't find this entertaining. Harmless family fun. July 29, 2007

This ROCKS

Hi! I loved this dvd! The effects are good, and I think its scary! But i am 10. The disfigurement is great and is really scary. I don't think it was as good as the 1st one, but it was a lot better than the 2nd one. I think Liam Neeson was best in the part, Larry Drake was BAD. And Jeff Fahey was good. Nice voice.

dont waste your time

I look at the average raiting for this movie. # stars, now thats supposed to mean its ok. Well ppl, this plotless load of junk is getting more than it deserves. I read some review saying the musicwas good, and, well, from my perspective It seemed like the music was played at entirely random moments. Like it could skip from a fight scene to a dramatic we feel sorry for darkman moment, and i would almost barely knotice, if it wasnt for stupid clips they play of images that make no sense. It was like they didnt know what to show so they figured this is kinda how he feels so lets just put this here. Save your money. I bought this after seeing the first, which was lame, but i though it was ok, and hoping this one would hae like maybe better action sequences or something. Well this was in 6th grade. HUGE mistake i hated it when i first saw it. It seemed like they wanted to make a sequel but never got around to doing it. And about the actrion sequences it looked like i was at six flags watching that batman show they play. Good, considering its live, but lame as far as movies get.
Oh, and the villians who were supposed to seem smart or truly evil, just seemed spiteful and annoyingly upsessed with killing. I really think this is one of the most absolutely stupid films ever made. But that was untill I saw reptillian. Which is kinda depressingly awfull. June 20, 2005

"Darkman" Has Potential as TV Show...

Lets stop making lame sequels boys and girls. I mean this isn't a real bad sequel, but they are getting lamer. Why not slow it down, and turn it into a TV series. It would be exciting and different from anything else on the boob tube. Jeff Fahey is always welcome in any movie, but doesn't have the menacing premise that Larry Drake had. Still, loaded with lottsa action and suspense. Good special effects enhance the story, and lets face it, you need this one to complete the set. January 8, 2005
