I wont take too much time here, just wanted to state that Darkman 3 is awesome. I have all 3 on DVD, added these to my collection of DVD movie sets. Darkman ranks up there with the best, like Indiana Jones, Aliens, Star Wars, Die hard, you get the point. There isnt too many good horror, thriller, sets out there. Many thanks to the whole crew, and set for giving us the Darkman trillogy. By the way if your wondering how I came across this one on DVD. I purchased it through the internet, it is however region 4, as you know most US DVD players are region 1. If you own a Sony Playstation 2, you have the best DVD player since it is an all region player. Just go to set up then choose witch region setting you want ( 1-9 ). Hope this helps

Lets stop making lame sequels boys and girls. I mean this isn't a real bad sequel, but they are getting lamer. Why not slow it down, and turn it into a TV series. It would be exciting and different from anything else on the boob tube. Jeff Fahey is always welcome in any movie, but doesn't have the menacing premise that Larry Drake had. Still, loaded with lottsa action and suspense. Good special effects enhance the story, and lets face it, you need this one to complete the set.

Big return for the most frightening character ever been. While the first straight-to-video sequel was a little bit weak and pointless (but still enjoyable) this one could have been a great theatrical follow-up to SAM RAIMI's cosmic masterpiece if done with the proper production values (big budget) and more sequences.
Of course, this one is the best "video sequel" and the real one by all means. You know, they filmed "DIE, DARKMAN, DIE!" long time before "THE RETURN OF DURANT", but when Larry Drake agreed to reprise his role as Robert G. Durant, the production company skipped DIE and went to film RETURN.
As far as concerning DIE, I liked the story a lot. Rooker is da man! Great villain. Arnold Vosloo was really getting in touch with Darkman, you can see it from his performance direction.
FInally, there's a fandom for Darkman at westlakedarkman.proboards3.com - Just enjoy.
I'm waiting for a DVD release of "DARKMAN III: DIE, DARKMAN, DIE!". Mmm... featuring deleted scenes and documentaries? Hell yes!

DARKMAN still remains the most frightening hero who ever graced the world. The "cult" will rise from the ashes just like Peyton Westlake did. The time has come.

I AM A DARKMAN FAN I HAVE ALL THE MOVIES AND ALSO THE COMIC BOOKS BUT I HAVE TO SAY THIS AND DARKMAN 2 ARE HORRIBLE WHEN COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL.ON A MORE POSITIVE NOTE THIS IS ABOUT AS GOOD AS DIRECT TO VIDEO CAN GET.

I liked the movie because it showed that Darkman was still able to care for others even after being alone for so long. Westlake no longer believed he had the ability to love, but when he saw that Rooker's wife and child were being neglected by this madman, he came through for them. I also like Arnold Vosloo because he has a cool sounding voice with a slight Scotts accent.

Hi! I loved this dvd! The effects are good, and I think its scary! But i am 10. The disfigurement is great and is really scary. I don't think it was as good as the 1st one, but it was a lot better than the 2nd one. I think Liam Neeson was best in the part, Larry Drake was BAD. And Jeff Fahey was good. Nice voice.

I'm a big fan of the Darkman character. The original was outstanding, with the great Liam Neeson as Darkman. DARKMAN 3 is shouldn't be compared to it, but it still has alot of action and a pretty good storyline.

Arnold Vosloo, who took the helm of Darkman in the second film(I skipped that one), is no Liam Neeson, but is absolutely enjoyable as Darkman. I'm happy to know that the filmmakers did a good job by keeping the character the same. His emotions, frustration, and alienation are well done here.

Jeff Fahey is gives an over-the-top performance as the bad guy Peter Rooker, whose evil plan is to gain powerful strength just like Darkman's. Fahey is sort of believable as a bad guy, but he overacts himself, even with a sadistic character like Rooker! But Vosloo is the savior here, who potrays a more humane Darkman in this entry. He does a good job at playing different emotions with the character.

I'm not that surprised that the film was a direct-to-video, but was a good film nonetheless. I love the Darkman character, and I'm dissapointed there isn't very much of a fan following. I just wish another Darkman film was made, or a TV series, which is a even better idea, because the Darkman films are fantastic.

I loved the original film but never wanted to give the sequels a chance because I didn't like that the actor was replaced from the first film. Even though hes different, He's passable and the story, action & special effects are decent for a direct to video. looking forward to watching darkman 2 now.

Aw hell, since I reviewed the other two, why not part 3, eh? Continuing in pretty much the same style as part 2, Darkman 3 gives us a new villain in the form of Jeff Fahey. Fahey's into marketing steroids and he's a lousy husband and father. Darkman's on hand to throw a wrench in his steroid operation. But when Fahey captures Darkman(thus screwing him once again right when he's on the verge of perfecting his synthetic skin. Man, this guy's always having the rug pulled out from under him at the last minute), he finds a way to make a super steroid from Darkman's blood, thus injecting his henchmen with the steroid and giving them Darkman's strength. He plans to make big bucks with this neat new drug. Darkman gets away and goes after Fahey, but along the way becomes infatuated with Fahey's wife and daughter who he feels sorry for since they are treated like dirt. Darkman does what he does best by being master of disguise and sneaking around Fahey's operation. One amusing scene has him wearing Fahey's face and searching his home for a computer disc and then finding himself in the middle of a surprise birthday party thrown for him. Of course it all leads to the big confrontation with Fahey and his supergoons. Typical, yet fun little action flick. There's a little bit more of an attempt to go for Darkman's emotional side again, moreso than the last film. Vosloo's not gonna get the academy's attention around Oscar time, but he's still suave and cool as all hell as Darkman. Fahey makes for a rather sinister, soft spoken villain. He's no Robert G Durant, but he's a mean SOB. If you liked the style of the second film, then there's no reason you shouldn't find this entertaining. Harmless family fun.

this movie is a great popcorn muncher!! sit back relax and enjoy...although not as : powerful" as the first one it still has a decent plot my only gripe is the dvd ..there are no extras period not even a trailer or anything talk about bare bones..still if you liked darkman one and 2 which i thought were excellent pick this one up just for the film..
