Well, it is a fucking terrible movie.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
Every time I watch The Dark Knight I like it less and less. The action scenes are all a mess. Heath Ledger still makes it a worthy watch, though.

The Dark Knight is a bit of a bore, and the third act is a total mess.

Correction: The finale is a bit of a mess but most of the third act is fine.
Rewatching the great Darkman for the first time in many years, so decided to dig up this thread...good read!

Darkman fan, eh? In that case, you didn't ever happen to read this, did you?
The way you stated this I read the entire article waiting for the "BUT...."
Its pretty spot on. Although I will add to its bit about the action scenes being "general 90s action", I think it's a step above because of Raimis inventiveness with his cartoony nature. Weird blue screens, crash zooms, flailing actors, huge fire balls...its a damn fun movie.

Does The Evil Dead show count? I'd give that 9.5 easily. I like Raimi but sometimes he doesn't quite put a movie together like he should and I think he should have made more horror movies.

And it's happened once again
I'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
And sees through the master plan
But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own
Well, I guess this is growing up
