| | Blankman review (1994) Damon Wayans - Qwipster's Movie Reviews |
 | | Blankman, as he is called because he couldn't come up with a name, becomes a sensation in the city, but Minelli is still on the prowl, and he is set on taking down the beloved Mayor (Lawford) once and for all. |
 | | However, despite Wayans' memorable role, the film only ever really works when Grier is on screen, as he brings a sense of normal contrast to the outlandish behavior of the rest of the zany cast, and his reactions to Darryl's adventures does manage to generate some of the more clever insights. |
 | | Sadly, once the quasi-love affair between Givens' (Head of State, A Rage in Harlem) news reporter character and Blankman emerges, his character goes into supporting mode, and the one funny angle (how relatives of superheroes cope with the grandiose schemes of their siblings) gets shelved for the duration. |
