Evil Dead II (or Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn) by Sam Raimi.
A masterpiece of a film.
Gotta say, I think this is a great movie. But I wouldn't say it's the best adaptation. As great of a film as it is, it is emotionally draining and it's not something that I would consider watching repeatedly. I just can't get my head around Watchmen being two or three hours long. I always felt like the series depends on an almost-miniseries build-up.
No, it doesn't bother me at all that the Extra-Dimensional Biological Entity is not in it (however, if that bothers you, I understand, and you have my sympathies). The one change that bothered me was how they changed Rorschach's origin scene, because the filmmakers felt that it was way too similar to the climax of the first Saw movie, and my feeling on that is that Rorschach's origin was already a rip-off of Mad Max's origin. So why is this an issue now? Other than that, I really enjoyed this film.
As much as I don't like Zack Snyder, I can't deny that he is a brilliant visual creator and everything in the trailer seemed right, if not completely spot-on. To be totally honest, I even geeked out a little when I first saw it.

Fun Fact:
Zeus was even more popular than you realized.
There's actually a temple in Egypt that was dedicated to Zeus. I'm not making a word of that up. It's not dedicated Osiris, not Set, not even Horus. A temple dedicated to Zeus.
Apparently, the site was originally found in the early 1900s when French Egyptologist Jean Clédat found ancient Greek inscriptions referring to a temple to "Zeus Kasios". Kasios being the local Syrian Mountain where Zeus was worshiped at one point, but the temple wasn't excavated until recently. They've also found inscriptions in the area that tell of the Roman Emperor Hadrian renovating the temple as recently as the second century. The team of archaeologists are continuing to explore the site and personally, I can't wait to learn more about what they dig up.
