Watch Blankman For Free

People are voting emotionally.

Good concept, poorly executed.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Blistering performances.

Daryl and Kevin Walker (Damon Wayans and David Alan Grier) are brothers who grew up idolizing Batman, watching the 1960's show and dressing up and playacting crime fighting. As their neighborhood deteriorated around them, Kevin became a cameraman. Daryl may be a simple man-child, but he excels at repairing and inventing things. And he may have never given up on his dreams of being a superhero.He finally gives in to his dreams after his grandmother (Lynne Thigpen, the Chief on TV's Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?) is killed by a mobster. Despite nearly getting killed several times, Daryl becomes the media sensation known as Blankman.He even gets a love interest - Kimberly Jonez (Robin Givens) - whose kisses reduce him to a quivering mess. However, not everything is easy. Minelli's gang attacks a bank and takes the mayor hostage, tying him up and rigging the building with explosives. But Blankman can't stop every bomb and is forced to run, causing him to give up on his superheroic dreams and going to work at McDonald's.Kevin's boss Larry Stone (Jason Alexander) uses Kimberly to get an exclusive interview with Minelli. But the mobster takes over the station, so Kevin convinces Blankman to come back and stop the man who killed their grandmother. Kevin even gets his own superheroic identity as the "Other Guy." And, of course, they save the day.Blankman has really inventive set design, as Daryl's inventions are string together pieces of junk that somehow work. This film is kind of/sort of a spinoff of the In Living Color superhero that Wayans played named Handi-Man. That character was as un-PC as you can get and Blankman softens down the very rough edges.This is a time capsule of the 1990's and worth digging up to enjoy.

A lot of people seem to give this movie quite a low rating, I can see why. It is not really that smart or original, but it is made to entertain, and I say it succeeds. The story is about Darryl Walker (Damon Wayans) who, after his grandmother dies, is fed up with all of the crime in the city. So he gets his grandmother's house coat and makes it bulletproof outfit. Now he is the low-budget crime fighter, Blankman, but not with out his brother Kevin Walker A.K.A Other Guy (David Alan Grier). Although he goes 95% of the movie without him. This is not the smartest satire or the funniest of Batman. Fortunately, it keeps you interested (well at least me anyway). It's humor does not really rely on writing, but more on slapstick (I love cleverly written humor, but slapstick works well too). In conclusion, this movie is not bad at all. Although, I would only recommend this movie to the people who love the 1960's Batman. If you are not a fan of comedic superheros or anything like that, you are going to loathe this movie. If you are a fan of comedic superheroes or superheroes in general, I would definitely recommend this movie to you (unless you take your superheroes super seriously).

I found the character a bit annoying. The voice and the over the top awkwardness mostly.On the bright side, the story was cute. Basically, a super hero parody, but on the light side. An event in the awkward and geeky Darrel's (sp?) life made him want to make a difference in the world. A lab accident led to a formula which made him somewhat indestructible.Where the movie shined, was in some pretty good comic moments. The rorshach test was funny. There was a scene I am pretty sure was stolen from Live and Let Die, where the voodoo guy comes out of the ground. Just to name some.There are better superhero movies. Some of the humor falls flat, or is cliché. The movie lacks focus at times, as another reviewer pointed out.But if you want a mindless tribute to Batman (the campy TV version,) and like movie on the light hearted side, you might like this one. Very little mean humor, swearing, adult and potty humor, which in itself, is refreshing (I like that stuff from time to time, but I also like it when a movie makes do without it for a change of pace.)

Damon Wayans has a rather odd role here but he manages to amuse fairly enough in this 1994 Columbia Pictures release. Wayans portrays an average guy with big ideas but he never seems to get any recognition for them so he decides to make an attempt at being a media celebrity by going around town in his underwear and fighting crime under the alter ego, Blankman. It's highly bizarre but also fairly funny. The hilarious David Alan Grier is also on hand costarring as Blankman's sidekick.
