What are you expecting?

That's the question to ask before you see this. Are you expecting a carbon copy of the original? If so, then why bother? Just watch the original. And all these reviewers dying to see Ash...Ash didn't come in to his own until parts 2 (a remake in itself) and part 3 (a movie even Bruce admitted he didn't like). So if you're expecting a bad ass, one handed chainsaw wielding Ash, then you'll be disappointed.
However, if you want an original horror movie based on material created by Sam Rami, but not the exact same movie, then you're in luck. Because if you're anything like me, all I expected from this movie is blood, gore, cheesy acting, and more blood...and thats it! And it delivered. Do you honestly think when Sam and Bruce made The Evil Dead they were worried about bad acting, too much blood, or any of the other crap that people here are slamming them for? No, and if all you are wanting is a copy of the original, i say again, just watch the original.
Oh,and for the DB's that say there's no homage the original until the credits, how about the car in the first few minutes? Yes I know its not the same one Sams dad bought, but its meant to look like it. That's an homage dude. And only one of about 20 I saw the first time I watched it.
Bottom line...good movie, worth the time, as long as you're not a pertinacious DB
