This is an amazing, marvelous piece of post modernist neo dadaíst art. Blankman manages to provide us with an action packed yet thoughtful parody of the typical 60-80esque super hero series like The Batman, thanks to Damon Wayans' astounding performance (and I'm not being ironic).
Everything is delivered so powerfully in an extremefully dadaist way I actually cried while watching this film and it caused me to raise questions to myself: "Is this a SERIOUS movie?" "Is this a comedy movie?" or what is this? It's impossible to know!
It's a mix of many genres (action, super hero, romance, blaxploitation) that literally tastes like a tutti frutti confection filled with LSD and I mean it. It's so full of diversity and Damon Wayans' acting like someone with metal problems. A serious issue is raised by this movie on the funninness of his "crazeness": Is it okay to laugh at a character knowing the character has mental problems?
Blankman definitely is worth watching. It had me thinking from the start to the ending sequence (which is great by the way). A+ trashy grade costume design and weird gadgets.
