Sam Raimi stays faithful

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2002)

I must admit- at first, I was apprehensive. I love Sam Raimi, I love his movies, but I was not sure he'd be prepared to take on this task. Luckily, Mr. Raimi has proven me wholly, shamefully, utterly wrong. I do not believe this film could have been any better, no matter who was directing it. This film has the aura of Sam Raimi throughout, a wonderfully welcome addition. This man stays true to the fable, takes us to the test, and passes with flying colors. Anything better would have been impossible.
