S. DARKO, YOU SUCK.

Donnie Darko was good. Donnie Darko was one of those films that stay with you for ages, really make you think about stuff, and have a lot more to them under the surface. And as with all good films, they are totally non continuable and to even attempt such a travesty will result in a complete and utter incomprehensible mess.
As is the case with s. darko.
Donnie darko fucked with your head a lot, but in the end it all made sense to some extent and you could follow it all nicely and it was all nicely wrapped up and basically good. S. Darko is literally just a 2 hour completely ridiculous headfuck where nothing makes sense, there's 3 entirely different plots depending on which stupid destiny you choose to follow (thanks to time travel) and ultimately, they all end in ridiculous scenarios and death. Not only that, they literally took the end of Donnie and crudely rewrote it to handily wrap everything up, except it doesn't because it in now way fits in with S. darko, where nothing happens for a reason, theres like a million characters, and they're all equally shit. Its not like Donnie where when he lets himself die all the bad stuff that would've happened if he hadn't had died never happens, it still all happens except nothings done about it. Nothing is even resolved. Its pathetic. Its taken every aspect of donnie and made it shit. Even a Paedophiles house is burned down except the Paedo is just fine. stay well away from it, unless you want to spend the next 24 hours trying to sort your brain out and lamenting over the poor kid who ends up just as locked in the cave as he is at the start (don't care that i just spoiled it).
