Moviegoers are saying
Movie 395316 presents a fascinating paradox - while viewers universally rate it 5/10, they overwhelmingly praise its cast, visual effects, and action sequences with enthusiastic tags like 'EPIC' and 'BLOCKBUSTER'. The disconnect between ratings and praise suggests a film that delivers spectacular moments but may fall short on overall execution, with one reviewer's blunt 'Mega Crap' assessment contrasting sharply with tags calling it a 'MUSTSEE'.

Raimi doesn't make the mistake of over-thinking the flimsy psychology of the genre. All this conflicted-hero stuff isn't meant to be profound; instead, it's there for the same reason as everything else -- to give the action (the interior action in this case) a healthy shot of pop energy.

This movie, directed with precision and an appreciation for (relatively) rich character texture by Sam Raimi, remembers all the fine elements of the original film (and the comic book story). It reprises them perfectly, including wonderfully choreographed, skyscraper-hanging fights.
