Expectations Met...and then Some!

Rating: 8/10 (11 May 2007)

I really thought this movie would be terrible with so much going on. There is a tremendous amount of story telling mixed in with the superb special effects. The most expensive movie ever made? You can see why. It is a little exhausting to watch at times if you are not a patient movie goer. I think that Sam Raimi has a way of fitting in his comic wit and splicing it with the emotive touch just enough to make the characters seem more viable. Otherwise we could care less about anything but seeing a funny red and blue (or black) suit flying about on screen. The twists and turns and plots jumps can seem to be confusing...and may well be for the young ones, but it is all worth it. Go see it!!!
