Man, I have never felt a single actual emotion during a Raimi movie. I like the Spidey movies a lot but they’re straight comedies for me and I actively dislike Darkman, hate Drag me to Hell and honestly even the Evil Dead sequels get tiresome for me pretty quick.It's all down to personal taste, but Darkman, The Quick and the Dead, A Simple Plan, Spider-Man 1 & 2 and Drag me to Hell are all miles beyond anything Gunn has ever produced.
Gunn has always been kind of... there for me. In fact, his most interesting and memorable work is his Scooby Doo duology. Nothing else has clicked fully for me, despite the solidness of the Guardians trilogy.
He’s sort of the embodiment of a pure style over substance director, IMO. Generally in a bad way.
