Darkman III: Die Darkman Die

There is only one Liam Neeson and I'm not asking Arnold Vosloo to deliver a performance as good as Neeson because I know he can't but I do expect a performance that isn't wooden,stale and with zero charisma. Vosloo is practically reading cue cards for the bulk of the film! Darkman worked because Peyton Westlake was such an interesting character and here all of the life the character had is pretty much stripped away. Die Darkman Die works somewhat despite Vosloo being horribly miscast. We have one character horribly miscast and one character perfectly cast,Jeff Fahey is outstanding as Peter Rooker. Like Vosloo Bradford May has very large boots to fill but he exceeded my expectations. Die Darkman Die is very Raimi like and we get some outstanding visuals for a DTV movie. The Make up effects here are even better than they were in the original Darkman. I really think that if Vosloo was not Westlake I would have enjoyed the film a lot more,everything else works in the film but him.

Despite what people say, I found DARKMAN III to be a better sequel than DARKMAN II. It had a quicker pace and more action that helped move the standard story along. Jeff Fahey is fun to watch as always, and Arnold Vosloo again does a good job portraying a sympathetic hero. The use of footage from the previous film in some scenes is a little distracting, but otherwise it's pretty good, and the scenes in which (a disguised) Darkman interact with the villain's child are nice. Obviously not up to par with Sam Raimi's original, but better than the previous sequel. I doubt we'll see them, but I wouldn't mind some more sequels.

The first Darkman movie was awesome. The 2nd was stupid. Durant comes back from the dead to torment Darkman once more, please. If you're in the kind of chopper crash he was in, you're dead and you stay dead. This sequel however was pretty good. Darkman is tricked by a doctor into allowing a procedure to reconnect his nervous system, but instead it's connected to some kind of electric shock device. She uses it on him if he doesn't obey her. Darkman's skin formula and diskette the forumula's on are stolen by the doctor's boyfriend Rooker. Darkman has to try to get them back, but while he's doing this, ends up falling in love with Rooker's emotionally battered wife and child. The movie would've been better if it wasn't done on a shoe string budget with lowgrade special effects (like garbage cans sailing into the air when they explode, please). But it's still a step up from the 2nd movie.

As previous ones the Darkman trilogy deserves to be revalued by the IMDB's users in this last one has the same level as such as Darkman 2, Jeff Fahey replaces Larry Drake with praise, a cool bloody man, in other hand a Darkman more susceptible to deceive and still more humanized, thus Sam Raimi could take ahead a forthcoming series, will be easily accepted by the general public, back to the picture worth to talk about the actress Roxann Dawson as Peter Hooker's wife, his beauty is breathtaking overcomes in miles Darlanne Fluegel as Fahey's mistress, the screenplay settle a fair condition to anti-hero of darkness, still no available on DVD format on brazilian's marquet yet, perhaps coming soon from an independent label!!! Resume: First watch: 2019 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 6

it's not really bad for a third in the series,, and yes i know that this one was supposed to be the 2nd and all , and return of Durant was supposed to be the third,, but tha't s not why i'm here to discuss this movie,, first off Jeff fahey, is pretty damn good as a villain,, almost as good as Jeff fahey, and in this one you also have a villainess fahey 's assistant,, darlanne fleuggel,, few of you probably remember her from the TV show ,, HUNTER with Fred dryer / ex NFL player.. well storyline goes , that dark man rips off the bad guys shipment, and uses proceeds to further his research . darlanne fleugel's character is very charming and believable as she tries to schmooze our hero,, will she succeed ? will dark man be overcome by her beauty charm and seductivness only can only watch and find out.

"Darkman III" is probably the poorest film in the series, yet it still has some intriguing moments, and it deserves some praise for at least TRYING to develop the themes that the series had already introduced, instead of simply copying them like most sequels ("Jaws 2" or "Predator 2", for example) do. The gruesome unpleasantness of the original "Darkman" is toned down, like it had been in the first sequel (the best film in the series). But that sequel had much more action, and it also had Larry Drake, who is SORELY missed here, since the villain is played by a narcissistic Jeff Fahey. Even with its weak points, however, "Darkman III" is no worse than "average".

The second sequel to Darkman is action packed but lacks the greatness of its prequel, Darkman.The action scenes are good and the acting by the returning Darkman played by Arnold Vosloo are good.This sequel is a good film but I prefer the original Darkman first.
