within the first 17 minute of director bradford may darkman iii represent die darkman die and we have already be subject to a silly recap and accompany voice over on the first two film and hilarious over acting and about three minute of footage simply rip from the second film and re edit slightly to seem like new footage and and a lengthy advertisement the scarred and tormented title character watch about universal theme park universal be the company that distribute this film . yes and darkman iii represent die darkman die be quite the handful when it come to cheap cash in on the success of a previous film . this time around and the disfigured anti hero peyton westlake ( aka and darkman while portray by mummy actor arnold vosloo ) lock horn with evil crime lord and lousy husband peter rooker ( play in a brilliantly over the top performance by jeff fahey ) and and over the course of the 87 minute film grows to develop an affection for rooker wife and daughter and once again learn to care for another person . blah . blah . blah . this film be basically just a silly way for the studio to make some more money off of sam raimi original film and which i consider to be a great action suspense film . oh yeah and and there be also a number of silly sub plot and include a villainess who supposedly be one of the original doctor to save darkman follow his scarring and and her seduce our hero into think she be an ally before reveal her nefarious plot to help rooker create more super human power thug like darkman . apparently and she can not just do the same procedure on the thug that she perform on darkman . why . i can not really explain it and because the movie certainly doesn not . there also an assassination sub plot involve a district attourney who be threaten to bring down rooker organization and and some other very silly thing go on . but it doesn not really add up . this film feel like two or three episode of a television show edit together more than an actual film . the direction alternate between pretty good and downright sloppy ( a scene where darkman rid his train like vehicle and dodge a rocket launcher be just plain silly ) and and the editing be a mixed bag . the film just move too quickly for anyone to really care what go on . and without spoil it and the final 15 minute of this movie and and indeed and the entire series be just kinda . i dunno . another 15 minute of mixed bag footage . in fact and comment on the editing and one of my favorite thing in this film be watch for footage re use from the previous film and and then look for footage within this film that be repeat multiple time . yes and it that cheap . it one thing to do a re cap at the beginning of the film and and maybe repeat a shot or two and but in the sheer volume they do it ( minute of footage repeat from previous film ) and it just sloppy and amateurish . also and i have to say that darkman psychedelic montage freak out be a bit overdone in this film . they be so stylized and overdone that they do work and but only in light dos and in proper context and a raimi do in the original film . here and there be at least four or five and and they feel very abrupt and out of place . that be say and the film be not without some good point . a few action scene be well do . the cliché story of darkman yearn for a real life work suitably for a direct to dvd feature . some of the acting be nice and particularly from rooker wife and portray by the beautiful roxann dawson . also and while no danny elfman and composer randy miller compose some nice music that build off of elfman original theme . but overall and the film be too quick and cheap and silly to be take seriously . arnold vosloo seem alternatively bore and exuberant from scene to scene and and fahey and while a joy to watch a an over the top villain and just doesn not quite fit in with the series . like darkman ii and i would recommend this to fan of the original and who will surely get a laugh . otherwise and you need not apply . a four out of ten .
