Not sure where to begin here. This movie was slinging around plots and plot devices hard and fast. But basically none of them were handled particularly well. There were so many cool things I saw and many very cool possibilities introduced, but it seemed every time I found myself nodding and looking forward to the next part in excitement, I would get disappointed right after. I see this movie was directed by Sam Raimi, so clearly some talent was involved in this. Perhaps this was a situation much like Peter Jackson found himself in where he had to salvage the movie from what little the studio execs gave him.
Regardless, the movie crosses the finish line. It doesn't do so well and it's choking on fumes, but it gets there, and at very least it gave us some cool ideas and some cool scenery, so I don't hate it. But I am definitely disappointed and sad we never got to see this movie written to be what it could have been.
