Query: pitiful

This is a perfect example of the amazon rating system going to hell from If-It-Wasn't-Horrible-I'll-Give-It-Five-Stars reviewers. Aside from the excellent transfer to HD-DVD, this thing is an embarrassment to all involved.For those not familiar with any of the actors in Darkman, they are quite good actors normally - I've no idea what direction could have convinced them to read the atrocious dialog to the camera as wooden puppets.The special effects are just horrible, well beyond the age of the film - they were not impressive in concept and unintentionally amusing when they were so poorly executed.easily on my worst-ten list. If you liked Independence Day and War of the Worlds, this is your show-of-shows, no doubt.
