Critics Sentiment
Blankman protects community members and gains recognition
Kevin takes Darryl to see a psychiatrist
Sharp recovery from the psychiatrist visit low point to the beloved Blankman naming sequence, gaining 2.6 points
Blankman starts moderately well with its Batman-inspired premise and Wayans' chemistry with Grier, but struggles with tonal inconsistency and an overly childish protagonist. The film peaks during Blankman's community heroics where the heart of the superhero fantasy shines through, but stumbles toward a rushed and unsatisfying climax that leaves viewers wanting more substance.
