what was Raimi thinking with this?
The Shadow and Spawn were kino movies, so was Darkman.
>>221395891fippie bippie
>>221395877He was thinking: Lets make a good and fun movie. And then he did.
>>221395877The "take the fucking elephant" scene alone elevates this to kino
>>221395891fippity bippity
>>221395911so fucking corny
>im gonna go and make the most based dark superhero horror movie of the 90s.and he did.
This movie along with others of its same strand like The Rocketeer, The Phantom, The Shadow, Dick Tracy, etc. were all examples of 90s movies that actually belonged in the 80s and were quickly thrown to the wayside when The Matrix released and completely changed the cultural landscape.
>>221395877better than 99 percent of marveling movies
>>221395877he was thinking they rejected his pitch for a The Shadow movie
>>221396736yes
>>221395877Raimi was ahead of his time. Every modern day film features the ‘Darkman’ if you catch what I’m putting down.
Darkman is just Dollar Tree Spider-Man
the movie feels so much like a prototype Spiderman it's fucking trippy
>>221396971Pre-MCU independent superhero films were a fun time
>>221397468Probably because they were just trying to be good stand-alone films and weren't just commercials for another movie.
The NES game was pretty fun as well
>>221397468Its not a super hero movie, its a monster movie.
>>221395877BLACK BASTARD
>>221397335Shit take.Darkman is watching the pro athlete play during high school. It's all there, just needs maturity and refinement.And power rangers full face masks.
>>221397524It's both since it's clearly inspired by the Shadow who is a vigilante figure
>>221395877gonna make some kino
>>221395918laughed so hard the first time i watched it. just the reactions to him crushing that guy's hand
