This 3 in 1 pack basically has the first two movies in one disk with their repective trailers and on the second disk the third film (no menu, no trailer just the film). The image on all three films has been restored. Now how good, well I don't see any tape deterioration and the sound is pretty crisp, but I do not own a widescreen TV or surround soundsystem. Now If you like Raimi his style then what Darkman offers you is that in spades, so its worth picking up in that sense...
Now the only thing I am not sure about is weather or not parts 2 and 3 have been cut somehow...
But with all that said I must add that in Raimi's absence the new director seems to copy his style rather well. And in some way I like Vooslo more than Neason as Payton Westlake not because he is more 'believable' but rather because he seems more fit for the action sequences and seems like he has a darker presence. (Oh the puns...)
As an update the image on D3 seems to be shaky in the beginning when dark man first enters the layer and gets a new mask out, the image shakes for a the few seconds the shot takes place, now weather this is just my copy or all of them is anybody's guess, but for $15 at CRTCity still a semi decent deal overall ratin for DVD 2 & 3/4 stars |
