Definitely had higher highs than the first film, mainly by default, due to the inclusion of Tales, Knuckles and bald Jim Carrey-Eggman.
But this had lower lows, for sure. That wedding scene was atrocious and easily could have been trimmed down by 90% - now that should have gone fast.
I was quite surprised at how tame this was. That said, this was fun and surprisingly compelling. I enjoyed the slow reveal of who the killer was, even if it didn't amount to too much. The ending was also pretty flat, and I doubt I will be watching the sequels.
Bruce Campbell rules as always, and I did actually enjoy the relationship he had with the other protagonist. It was, eh, unique to say the least.
Very fun watch! If you're a giant fan of the Devil May Cry video game series, I'd definitely recommend checking it out. Don't expect anything earth-shattering in terms of DmC lore or anything like that, but it's a short and easy-to-digest show that provides plenty of devil hunting goodness.
The writing, dialogue, sound mixing, animation, etc. definitely reflected the (I assume) very low budget of the series, but it did come with it's charm.
Good stuff!
Also, because I can,…
Absolutely loved this. Season 2 and onwards can not come soon enough.
Season 1 = 9/10.
Guess I'll update this review for when each new season comes out.
