Darkman III: Die Darkman Die

EW's GRADE
B

Details Movie Rated: R; Genres: Horror, Sci-fi and Fantasy; With: Jeff Fahey and Arnold Vosloo

In this superhero franchise's third installment — which debuted on HBO — executive producer Sam Raimi maintains the appropriately cheesy comic-book style that sparked the original. This time Darkman (Arnold Vosloo) battles a drug-lord-and-sexy-scientist duo (Jeff Fahey and Darlanne Fluegel) whose black-market supersteroid makes 'roid rage seem like a snit fit. Despite occasional lazy dialogue (''Life's a bitch — and so am I'') and an obnoxious, near-subliminal plug for the Universal Studios theme park, Darkman III: Die Darkman Die delivers a kinetic video kick.
