After his grandmother is killed in a Mafia hit, Darryl (Damon Wayans) fashions a bulletproof overcoat to wear over red long johns, becoming Blankman, a superhero without any superpowers save some inventive tinkering skills. When Blankman's crime-fighting crusade causes a sensation around the city of Metro, Darryl's brother Kevin (David Alan Grier) reluctantly agrees to become Blankman's sidekick, Other Guy, to impress local news anchor Kimberly (Robin Givens), but the mob is fighting back.

Stephen Holden New York Times May 20, 2003
3.5/5
Blankman plays it light and silly but not so broadly that the movie collapses into chaos. Go to Full Review
Brant Bingamon Austin Chronicle Mar 11, 2003
0/5
Blankman's use of the cheesy effects from the Batman TV show, including Polito trying to imitate The Penguin, was initially a good idea but the execution is simply horrible and this is what winds up ruining the film. Go to Full Review
Rita Kempley Washington Post Jan 1, 2000
Wayans's attempt to take a bite out of crime doesn't really work. In fact, he's shooting a blank. Go to Full Review
Jamie Broadnax Black Girl Nerds Apr 15, 2022
2/5
'Blankman' at least tried to create a space for the Black superhero, even if, cinematically, this film is a failure. There are probably young Black boys (and perhaps girls) that watched in the 90s and finally saw themselves reflected as a superhero. Go to Full Review
Mal Vincent The Virginian-Pilot Mar 14, 2022
1.5/4
To put it frankly, Blankman should be a good deal funnier. Go to Full Review

3/5
Nerdy inventor fights crime; cartoonish violence, cursing. Go to Full Review

Hagrid L Aug 14, 2018 This movie doesn't have the best plot, but that's part of the charm! This is a hilarious movie! I grew up watching and laughing with my dad. A great memory I can thank Damon Wayans and the entire crew for. Thank you for a terribly great movie! See more
George G Mar 9, 2017 Stupid funny. Blankman's pure heart is endearing. Made me laugh out loud. Not a great or even a good movie, but it did the job. See more
