Darkman II: The Return of Durant
Dir: Bradford May
1995
*
I really wanted to like the sequel as I loved the original but I can't kid myself, this was bloody awful. There isn't even the slightest hint of what made the original great here. Bradford May's direction is shoddy, he tried to imitate Sam Rami's style of film making but was too lazy to see it through and just used a 7 second 'rage montage' recapping the anger felt by Darkman from footage from the original film. Rubbish and pointless. Why doesn't Darkman just get a skin graft? They did have skin grafts in 1995. Huge waste of time and money.
