  David S. Goyer - Biography - Moviefone
Filmmaker David S. Goyer is a master of the dark, brooding brand of off-kilter sci-fi that defined the 1990s before spilling over into the new millennium with such efforts as Blade II.
Though Goyer's original intentions to attend Michigan State University and become a homicide investigator were quickly put to rest when his teachers staged a creative intervention, the wake-up call soon proved effective, and he was off to study screenwriting at U.S.C. Film School.
Goyer subsequently churned out scripts for such lowbrow fare as Demonic Toys and Arcade, but his dark and quirky sensibilities were soon tapped when the writer was asked to pen screenplays for both The Crow: City of Angels and Dark City.

With series writer David S. Goyer in the director's chair, the film is calculated for mainstream appeal, trading suspenseful horror for campy humor and choppy, nonsensical action.
To say that director David Goyer decided to go the jokey route with this one is a major understatement.
Funny enough to slay most eager-to-please audiences, Goyer has written and cast a high-adrenaline action comedy with fight scenes thrown throughout the picture -- none of which are exciting or filmed with the sure hand that the character's fans are used to.
