< Darkman

Darkman/YMMV


  • But for Me It Was Tuesday: Averted since Durant knows Westlake well enough that he assumed he finished him off.
  • Complete Monster: Hard to say which one is it between Durant and Strack. An hired hitman who takes too much pleasure in doing dirty work or a megalomaniac who has no remorse in hiring some bloodthirsty criminals to solve his problems?
  • Iron Woobie: Peyton evolves into this after becoming Darkman.
  • Kick the Dog: Peyton and Julie both get several swift ones. Peyton is obvious, but consider that Julie thought she'd lost the love of her life, and was finally piecing her emotional self back together... and then her rebound guy turns out to be a emotionless psychopath, her former lover turns out to be insane and heavily injured, and at the end, dumps her because he's become a monster. Oh, and all of this got started because of an accounting discrepancy she was looking into as part of her day job. Ouch.
  • Narm: "Take the fucking elephant!"
    • The "fingers broken, everybody screams" scene, the "funny hat" scene, the "man sticking out of a manhole" scene... There's a lot of it. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
      • Justified; Westlake's body is constantly pumping itself full of pretty much every chemical a human body is capable of generating, in an attempt to compensate for the total loss of his sense of touch. With all the crap running rampant in his bloodstream, it's little wonder his perceptions would be a bit...skewed.
  • The Problem with Licensed Games: Bad controls, bad graphics, bad mechanics (the quality of the pictures you take affects how long the masks you make last, rather than how well they fool people), silly levels (a circus level), and A Winner Is You ending.
  • Special Effect Failure: The first film contains several very poorly-executed green screen and matte painting effects.
  • Tear Jerker: They took my hands !
  • The Woobie: Darkman.
    • Julie and then some. She really can not catch a break.
