S. Darko

Well, the music and cinematography create a nice atmosphere, but everything going on within it is terrible. With horrible dialogue from marginal actors that turn in stiff and awkward performances, a completely nonsensical script, and some almost Wood-esque editing, S. Darko couldn't stand on its own even if it didn't have the immediate disadvantage of pretending to be a sequel to a much better film.

Well, at least it unintentionally made me laugh.

Top badass moment? I'm glad I'm not a Donnie Darko fanboy; I'd probably be so pissed off now if I was. So a guy from Iraq lives in a windmill and someone drops a pot of coffee and a car crashes, twice, and people go to a party and there’s a creepy vicar and hot girls and a posh dress and time travel and a church burns down and an empty vending machine and a water bottle and tesseracts and sleepwalking and a unicorn and I don’t know what any of it means. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

Yet another "let's just recreate the original" cash-grab. 210% terrible.

Some incredibly bad dialogs, bad CGI, plot doesn't make much sense. But the biggest enemy of this film is relation to the cult favorite "Donnie Darko". Fans hate this film without seeing it. And when they'll see it they will hate it even more. It copies the style of "Donnie", uses same ideas and twists. And that's no fun.

Ultimately, Donnie Darko wasn't about time travel and talking rabbits, it was about this kid named Donnie Darko that a lot of us found ourselves caring about. I don't know what the hell S. Darko is about, and I don't care. I'm pretty sure I know what the S stands for, though, and it's abbreviated from "Complete and utter Bull-"

Maybe it's because I was told this movie was awful so many times that I expected a disaster, but I found it to be better than people make it to be. It was an okay movie, with an okay plot (heavy on deus ex machina though). The major issue is that Donnie Darko wasn't good for the plot, it was good for its characters. S. Darko tries to recreate the plot of Donnie Darko with different characters, and there's just no reason to care about them. Not a bad movie, not a good one either.

jesus fuckin' christ, what a bunch of crap.

Don't watch this, even if you absolutely love the first;

Incredibly poor performances working with awful characters and a complete rip off and bastardization of the original story. A complete disgrace to a magnificent cult classic.

AVOID THIS LIKE THE PLAGUE!

Takes the cake for worst "sequel" ever.

The plot is not original (it's somewhat similar to Donnie but really pointless). As a sequel it is definitely bad. But as a standalone movie it does work (not necessarily a good movie, but I've seen a lot worse). And in my opinion, the acting is quite decent (Ed Westwick and Jackson Rathbone did quite a nice job, I think)

CASH IN! The cinematography has its moments, the script is bad and the actors are about as bad as the script. Where's the interaction or the chemistry? Where's the half intelligent dialogue or plot? The music usage is mixed, so it has its moments as well. Since it's a sequel maybe it should expand on the Donnie Darko universe but it really doesn't. Just a bunch of events (really... remade from DD) loosely linked together, but what's the reasoning behind it? The more I write the more I hate it.

I still say Taken is Chris Fisher's worst movie that I've seen, at least this had hot chicks.

I think the movie is far away from the "mindfuck" idea and a plot that the first movie had, but I still think it makes you wonder and ask yourself about much stuff, maybe religion in particular (although it turns out a bit washed out). The acting is average and the actors are indeed missing chemistry, but to be honest it's not that bad. It's also even more messy to a viewer not used to such movies than the first movie.

Hell no

the only good thing in this movie is Ed Westwick. and music a little bit.

lololololol

Not really a good film, but - and this is the key point here - better than DONNIE DARKO.Takes the moments of downbeat lost dreaminess in the first and turns it into the style and indeed content of the whole film, only more downbeat and without the 'characters' to which people were successfully if uninterestingly induced to respond. Which I think is a big part of why people react against this so much. Nice score too.

do not ever in your lifetime think you have to see this movie...

I'm giving this a few extra points than it deserves because daveigh chase's hair is SO PRETTY

This is nothing like the first one. This is crap! This is cheap horror movie named after a really good movie.

I find this movie insulting.

Pretty good cinematogrpahy. That's about it.

It wants to echo the original but can't figure out the rhythms.

don't believe the hype.
