I didn't HATE The DaVinci Code (but I feel like I'm in a minority), but I did feel this was a bit of an improvement. Again, I haven't read the book, so I can't say "bah, the book was better", and my judgement isn't impeded by that.
I waited a long time to see this instalment, and it just wasn't worth the wait. The series is on the decline, in my opinion it needs Somers and Im Ho Tep to return.
Healthy blend of a few good scares, a few good laughs. Typical of a Raimi horror flick, but missing some of the "usual suspects". No Bruce Campbell cameo?
