"Darkman" feels like it’s trying to blend elements of a superhero film with Gaston Leroux's "The Phantom of the Opera," aiming for something greater than what it is. It frequently manages to evoke genuine emotion, particularly concerning Peyton Westlake and Julie Hastings, but it’s evident that their romance can’t have a future, regardless of their desires. Sam Raimi directs exceptionally well, as anticipated, bringing his signature dynamic style to the film. This leads to some truly remarkable action scenes, showcasing a director with a distinct visual talent and inventive approach.
