I recently watched Evil Dead Rise and also agree with your assessments. I thought it was good and enjoyable, but not great and fairly forgettable despite the outrageous handful of scenes and events. Certainly nothing close to the Campbell stuff. Still haven't seen the reboot, but need to.
Kick-Ass: 7/10
Haven't watched this one in forever, but found myself really enjoying it. Was oddly refreshing to watch in comparison to contemporary comic movies that often feel stale and unfulfilling. It's a roll of the dice whenever Nic Cage is in a movie, but he knocked it out of the park with this role.
Barbie: 7.5/10
This one really surprised me at how much I enjoyed it. So much of it was pure fun and funny. The wit and skill of Gerwig and her now husband are hard to deny. That opening scene is so damn good. Acting was really well done, particularly by Gosling, but Cera was terrific, and Robbie held the film together well. I thought I was going to hate McKinnen going in, as I find her grating in most things, but I thought her character and acting were also terrific.
