Raimi conquers all

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2004)

Yes, I am one of those geeks who loves all the campy Evil Dead movies... and that is what makes the triumph of this film franchise so much sweeter... to see Sam Raimi be able to retain his edge in film-making with a big Hollywood budget is truly an amazing feet. This movie packs more visual punch than the first and spends time developing the intricacies of Peter's duality.
The only thing I wonder is if this movie will be too intense for younger audiences. The operating room scene with Dr. Octavius was a true Raimi masterpiece of manic camera movements and dramatic editing, but I wondered for a moment if it was too violent for some of the younger kids...
I would say that this movie has definitely taken the summer blockbuster title thus far...This movie is equal parts stunning, hilarious and brilliant! See it as soon as you can!
