Evil Dead fans will not be disappointed.

Rating: Null/10 (23 July 2004)

This will just be a short review. But not too short or IMDB will keep telling me to add more lines.
THIS IS A GREAT FILM! SEE IT NOW!
Sam Raimi is brilliant. I've loved his films for years, but with Spidey he has surpassed himself. The way he balances the emotions with the action is amazing. You wouldn't expect a summer action blockbuster to have this much introspection and angst, but it does! And it works!
Lots of people will talk about the special effects, which are great, but unless you have a good story to go with it it just doesn't work (see Van Helsing for confirmation). My only gripe with this film is that Doctor Octopus is underdeveloped as a character. But that's only a small gripe.
I have a feeling that I will enjoy this film even more on subsequent viewings, and I can't wait to try. Roll on Spidey 3 in 2007!
