Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Close to nothing
Review: After Darkman, an inevitable sequel was to be made. Too bad it lost Liam Neeson and the grand action sequences that made the original such a spectacular movie.The only thing saving this one from being forgotten is its tragic hero element to it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A big surprise!
Review: After I saw this movie I realized that it is not so bad as everyone described it to be. Although they changed the person who plays Darkman, this movie is still good and fun to watch more than once. It's a good movie!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What a Bad movie.
Review: after the success of Darkman, they tried to follow it up with a sequal but Sam Raimi did not return for one. so they gave it to a new film crew and cast of actors, and it has all the elements of a bad prime time soap opera. With no story and no effort by the actors to do something possitie in front of the cameras. Let's stay with the original Darkman film and treat the two sequals like they never happened.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Impresive!!
Review: Darkman 2: Return of Durant is a great movie and it successfully blends action, suspense, horror, and comic book fantasy into a great movie which is one of the best comic book adaptations ever made and a great sequel. Fans of these kind of movie will certainly love this movie and will find it a hit they'll remember. Loved it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best comic book movies!
Review: Darkman 2: The return of Durant is one of the greatest comic book adaptations ever made and a great sequel to Darkman. It has lots of action, a great script, and suspense like the first one. When I first watched it, I was very impressed by it because I thought that it would be a bad movie because of all the bad reviews about it. I guess I was wrong and so was everyone that gave it bad reviews in my opinion.
Anyways, this movie is truly great and has everything. For any real Darkman fan who is just dying to find out what happens next, this movie is very recommended. A must have! Loved it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A first-rate follow-up. Recommended to any fan of Darkman.
Review: Darkman is still living in as an outcast in the big city, and learns that the man who turned his life into a living hell is still alive and planning more villainy. So he once more employs his face-copying tactics in an attempt to find and bring down the crook.

Liam Neeson is nowhere to be found, but Darkman's downtrodden and sympathetic character is still as strong as ever. The film is filled with the kind of action, drama, little comic touches and occasional surreal images which made the first film a classic, and Durant is a genuinely intimidating villain who dominates his every scene.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: WARNING! DVD may be missing!!
Review: First for the warning...I bought this DVD over Christmas but didn't get around to watching it. Surprise! When I got around to opening the DVD it was missing in the sealed case. So make sure you check all your DVDs after you buy them. Especially some of these cheap Universal discs. Great deal when they include the DVD.

So about the film itself? Well it's decent. It continues the cool Darkman character. It lacks the amazing acting of the first film but there are plenty of Darkman bits. Both 2 & 3 lean more for the cheese but are fun in their own way. Don't expect the original, but if you liked Robocop 2 or 3 then you'll love Darkman 2.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Return of Durant
Review: I bought this title because Arnold Vosloo was a leading member of the cast, and I've come to appreciate his characterizations. I'd not seen the original Darkman, so I had no preconceived notions of what the series was like, I therefore enjoyed it more than a connoisseur of the genera might have. I did seen Darkman III first, however, and enjoyed it more; perhaps because I enjoyed Jeff Fahey as a bad-guy more than I did Larry Drake. They do say that the quality of the villain makes the film. I also thought Mr. Vosloo's Darkman was more brittle in II than in III. Perhaps the quality of the bad guy effected his performance too, or maybe he was just getting used to his character and the series and was only beginning to develop his own particular point of view on both. I tend to agree with the reviewers who felt that the series would make a better subject for TV than for Cinema.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW!
Review: I have never heard of the superhero called Darkman before and never saw the first Darkman movie. After reading all the bad reviews about him I expected him to be a badly created person and the movies with him themselves being bad. I guess I was wrong because when I saw Darkman 2, I was wowed! This movie has everything, great costume designs, good script, perfect plot, a lot of action, and is a movie that makes you want find out what happens next. Fans of comic book movies will love this movie and this is a must have for them and others. Truly, truly loved it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent sequel!!
Review: I have seen this movie for the first time today after I have bought it and I have to say that it wasn't as bad as everyone rated it. This movie is very thrilling and is much better than the first one because Arnold Vooslo plays as Darkman. The movie is filled with great special effects, great lines, and a twisting plot. I totally recommend this movie to any real fan of Darkman who wishes to see the story continued. Loved it! A must have!
