I believe Evil Dead II did live up the first, but yeah... the third... it lost the charm. Was the third a studio film? Universal has the rights to it now, Anchor Bay having the rights the first two.

Invaders From Mars.
Bad acting, great special effects.
Not a bad movie to sit back and veg out on.

I've heard nothing but terrible things about this. Ultimately, I only watched it because I like Kristen Bell (Being a VMars fan) - but I was pleasantly surprised. Very plesantly surprised. It's not at all terrible, though it isn't exactly good. First off, it's visually stunning. CGI is well rendered, cinematography is good, and the digital color overlays create a certain atmosphere. I swear I haven't seen a movie so limited to certain colours (blues, reds) since the black and white ages. Second, there are some genuinely eerie moments. Tense. If you like movies that make your hair raise, and are heavy on the computer graphics... you might like this. I have seen the original, but fell asleep halfway through. Of what I saw, this doesn't even compare. However, when placed aside the other PG13 horrors out like The Messengers... it's the better option.

And that hand-grab scene? Breathtaking.

I’m a huge fan of the entire Dead series, Evil Dead I & II and Army of Darkness are three of my all time favorites. I think Army of Darkness was more of an achievement for Sam than the first two because he was able to inject enough comedy into a “horror film” that it made it almost universally watchable while the other two were less accessible movies. Evil Dead I & II are both great horror films and sprinkle in comedy here and there which doesn’t make the terror too saccharine or pull the movie off course. Army of Darkness however really manages to cross into the next genre and hang there a bit and it makes sense that a lot of horror fans would like the first two because they’re truly horror movies while the third isn’t. Like I said, I love all three for different reasons, but I think Sam did a wonderful job of making a comedy a bit horrific with AoD.

Ghost Rider

Popcorn entertainment at its finest. No substance what-so-ever, but it looks pretty and turns out to be really enjoyable.

Worth seeing in the theater?

For sure.

Any of these big budget CGI popcorn flicks are best in the theatre...the massive screen and blaring speakers really enhance the experience.

However, if you are planning to go see it I have one question - do you appreciate cheese? If not, you will HATE this movie. The script is just like an old school comic book...filled with really corny one-liners and bad jokes. I thought it was alot of fun, but I can totally understand how someone would disagree. Be forewarned.

Man, I cant see how you wouldnt enjoy this one. Awesome effects, decent plot, a few cool characters and enough cheese to keep an army of rats fed for life. You'll love it:)
