A sensory blast! An imaginative barn-burner from Sam Raimi et al. It’s great to see Raimi do his Raimi thing for large portions of it, too. Fantastic demons and apparitions and zombies are a welcome addition to the clean super-hero milieu. Also welcome is something that is not quite characteristic of these movies: a villain with a heartbreakingly personal motive; a super-hero-sized level of grief that feels painfully authentic. It’s too bad that you need to have an encyclopedic knowledge of the Marvel Universe to figure out what the hell is going on in these movies much of the time. But man, do they give you your money’s worth.
