It sounds like some sort of superhero or something..

Rating: Null/10 (17 June 2003)

Well, who's to say he isn't? Donnie Darko remains as one of the greatest films made within the last 3 years. It's hard not to get caught up in the new age "superhero" genera, i.e. Marvel-comic-based-big-budget-action-flicks that are so prevalently spewed out of Hollywood today. With all that nonsense aside, this movie remains as a simple story of a boy with not so simple powers. In the classic sense, many may miss this point in the film. It is not in so how his powers came to be, but more in the sense of how he uses his ability to affect every other character in the movie. At the end of the movie, simply asking yourself the question: What would each one of these characters in the movie be like without Donnie? may lead to answering some of those strange feelings you have when this movie is over. Please don't watch this movie only once. With each new viewing you gain hidden insight into what the director was trying to accomplish with this film. Also, don't go away from this movie confused, disappointed, or sad because "I promise one day everything will be better for you." 10/10
