I didn't enjoy this one, unfortunately. The VFX were ugly and overabundant, and the actors were clearly standing in front of green screens and emoting at tennis balls. Also, there was far too much expository dialogue and clumsily placed quips.
I enjoyed some of the Sam Raimi-isms but they clashed with the Marvel formula for film-making that comprised most of this movie.
agreed ti felt like two movies.
the first half was a normal generic marvel film in all ways esp stylistically. then all of a sudden in the hallway "chase scene" I started noticing all the Raimi-isms and it felt like a different film within a film
Yes, there were brief moments where Raimi's style (and humour) would peek through, then the movie would snap back to the standard "MCU" aesthetic.
It felt like one of those films where a director is fired and replaced with another director to shoot extra scenes in post-production.

I wouldn't call it "awful", but it wasn't nearly as good as the first film. Sure, it was fun overall, but well.
It's one of those films where the more you think about the plot and people' motivations the less sense it makes, and I like to think about the plot and people's motivations. It really is a weak story dressed up with cool fx and a zombie hero.
Not my favourite but I didn't really know who had directed it till the end and I was getting drag me to hell vibes
shareOP review describes the problems with this movie perfectly.
shareI've been uninterested in Marvel movies since Infinity Wars and kinda just watch them now to know what's happening. They're usually just "fine."
This was BAD. Wow. It felt completely soulless which is a weird thing to say about a Raimi film but there ya go. It's not really his film, but this franchise is so bloated and bland now, doesn't matter how much VFX vomit they can throw on the screen.
