Rating: 6/10 (2 September 2006)

I don't want to sound like a movie geek (heaven forbid), but this is basically a very nice remake by Raimi of his film Darkman.
The script is uninspiringly blunt at times, particularly in the preamble, and there's honestly not a lot of action when all's said and done (like X-Men, it feels like a promo for a series). There's quite a bit of post Sept 11th New Yorker flag waving too (nothing wrong with that). On the other hand Kirsten Dunst looks FANTASTIC, and all three main leads have always been brilliant actors (and the Bruce Campbell cameo is hilarious).
Entertaining; it would be churlish not to enjoy this stylish comic book hokum.
