Spiderman trilogy = Evil Dead trilogy

Rating: 7/10 (16 June 2008)

Well, many comments I've read here are either wrong or just missed the point!! First this is a spider-man movie which means it is made to be fun and not so much serious. This is (if you are familiar with Sam Raimi's work) an excellent comedy!!!It's a pure trash movie (just like Army of Darness)it is made with enormous budget and this movie just shows how Sam Raimi is crazy director with a lot of sense of humor and likes to play around with money, lots of money!! Some scenes in this movie shows how much is this in fact made to entertain people with film knowledge and amaze those without it and those people who are not amazed or do not have clear film knowledge are just those kind of people who do not understand Ed Wood's work, in other words soulless people. If you watched Evil Dead trilogy you will see countless similarities in story and or action between two. Just as an example notice how Ash changes during these films and then compare it to Peter changes in this trilogy, in my eyes those changes are almost exactly the same. One of the reasons I'm so impressed with this film is scene at the end of the movie where you see spidey running in front of an America flag as if he does not look like a person wrapped in American flag already. Hilarious!!!And comments of the TV reporters at the climax are absolutely amazing and funny. One thing you can also notice is when Peter as an emo darker enters jazz bar where his girl works you can actually see if not Willem Dafoe then his very convincing lookalike (man behind them when he and his new girl sit at the table) and that was funny. There are a lot of scenes like these in the movie but I don't want to spoil the fun and excitement when you see them because this movie is all about that; funny ester eggs which tells us that Sam Raimi is in fact joking and having a great time doing this movie. Sam Raimi is one of the kings of modern trash and one of the rare who successfully infiltrated Hollywood and by doing that he's bringing old school trash to mainstream audience. Sam Raimi you are my idol !!! Spider-man 3 - 7.5 out of 10 Spider-man 2 - 7 out of 10 Spider-man - 6.5 out of 10
