Whats not to love? The IMDB point is way to low. Do other board members have their share of IMDB ratings that make you go 'wth?' Post them over here and discuss about it!

I agree Darkman is a good movie and shouldn't be rated low. The place to go for really outrageous ratings is netflix. Not just with martial arts and HK movies, but all the ratings are weird.

Because some people tend to you use IMDB as a sort of holy guideline which could make them miss on the great old classics... like Darkman!

But most people aren't choreography fans like a lot of us are. We are definitely in the minority. And my taste in movies is HK and not well-made Hollywood movies. Graeme Noble Kung Fu Hall of Fame

They didn't do it for me. I like the lead actor, but the sequels were missing that dark feeling. "Wong Fei Hung, I was prepared for that powerful kick of yours!"

Liam Neeson was perfect for the role and the direction of Sam Raimi really gave it a dark wicked comic book style. That's why I was so disappointed with the rating...

Very unique movie. I give it a solid 8/10. Maybe even a 9. "Wong Fei Hung, I was prepared for that powerful kick of yours!"

Oh and Starship Troopers is way underrated. Paul Verhoeven is a genius. "Plissken, what are you doing?" "Playing with myself. I'm going in."
