Welcome back Sam

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2002)

I don't know whether he had to do The Gift and For Love of the
Game to get the opportunity to do this, but after seeing SpiderMan, those two duds were definitely worth it. Sam Raimi is my favourite director and Spider Man is my favourite comic hero, so when I initially heard of this film I was excited as heck and scared
witless. I was going to get my expectations too high and believe all the hype only to be delivered another piece of Hollywood junk. As high as my expectations were, they were no match for this film. From the opening title sequence I knew I could sit back and enjoy the ride. With the exceptions of not enough Spidey one-liners and M.J. looking stoned when I think she's supposed to be romantic, it's an absolutely flawless (well, except for those 2 previously mentioned things) masterpiece! Good going Raimi. Now make another one of those studio Spider Man flicks and start working on Evil Dead 4! Bruce Campbell ain't gettin' no younger.
