Summary: Funny as All Hell
Review: This movie could be the funniest movie that has ever been created. How on earth does one come up with such a far fetched idea and turn it into something this great. All sorts of funny stuff with stupid cliche twists and cliche lines. (Talking to Himself) "There's so damn many of them, (looks at necronomican) but maybe just maybe my boys can keep 'em from gettin the book, (looks back) yeah maybe I'm a Chineese Jet pilot."

Summary: awesome
Review: I Liked the 3rd installment in the Evil dead series. ARmy of Darkness is a wacky horror-ish movie about bruce cambell whooping zombies, skeletons, and his evil twin throughout the middle ages. Army of Darkness DOES have some pacing problems, and some of the scenes dont make sense (when ash first shows off his boom-stick, he fired THREE shots from a two- barrel shotgun. whatever.). but hey, go into this movi expecting a great horror film like The Shining, and you will hate it. watch this expecting a fun-filled adventure with exploding zombies, and you find a lot to enjoy. one last thing: if youre finding the movie a little dull, just keep in there for the awesome ending. you wont regret it.

Summary: Fistful of Boomstick
Review: "Army of Darkness" is the third film in Sam Raimi's legendary "Evil Dead" trilogy. Surprisingly, while it was the least popular of the series in theaters, it's arguably now the biggest cult hit in the series!
Picking up where ED2 left off, Ash (Bruce Campbell) finds himself in 1400 A.D., taken prisoner by Arthur's knights. Soon, he finds that the only way he can return to his own time is to retrieve the Necronomicon (a.k.a. Book of the Dead). Of course, there are some complications: he'll also have to save his girlfriend, blow up his evil clone, and destroy an army of the dead. Armed with those ever-so-trusty weapons, the double-barreled shotgun and chainsaw, Ash sets out on his quest to return home.
"Army of Darkness" is one of the few films that successfully blends comedy with horror. AOD is, in fact, much more comedy than horror. Ash is outrageous, albeit a little more pissy than in the previous films.
One of the interesting things to do with this film is to look back at the other two films and see how far along the ED crew came. Bruce Campbell's acting improved by ED2, Sam Raimi became a more experienced director, the scripts changed from gore-filled horror to laugh-out-loud comedy, Joseph LoDuca went from creepy 70's horror score to booming medieval soundtrack...
There are two versions of the film: the original theatrical version (nicely remastered on this DVD) as well as the Director's Cut (horridly "mastered" on this DVD). I would highly recommend the D.C. to the T.C., but with the quality of the D.C. on this DVD, I can understand it if you stick with the T.C. (Woah, that was a mouthful!)
All in all, "Army of Darkness" is even more rockin' now then it was ten years ago. Filled with bone-rattling action and groovy comedy, AOD is a film only Sam Raimi could make.
"Shop smart, shop S-Mart!"

Summary: Evil Dead meets Xena/Hercules!
Review: Proving you can't keep a good deadite slayer down, Army of Darkness marks the return of Ash in the third film of the highly popular Evil Dead trilogy. Ash (Bruce Campbell) is no longer confined to the isolated cabin in the woods, now that he's been transported to the 14th century (don't ask), apparently somewhere in England. He's seen as an enemy by the local Lord Arthur, but quickly becomes hero and savior to the people when he kills a couple of deadites. Consequently, and in order to return to his time, he's sent on a quest to retrieve the Necronomicon, the Book of the Dead. What should be a simple task results in the creation of the army of darkness, which Ash must battle to keep evil from spreading throughout the land.Army of Darkness' plot is pure nonsense, sort of a mix of Monty Python and just about every fantasy movie you may have seen. The entire movie's success is based on humor, and it delivers with consistent comic ingenuity. All traces of horror its predecessors had is all but gone here, those expecting to experience terror with their mirth will be sorely disappointed. Army of Darkness is a silly comedy from beginning to end, and it revels in its silliness. Easily the movie's anchor and probably the only reason I couldn't stop giggling for all 81 minutes is cult fave and comic genius Bruce Campbell. Roles of this kind are perfectly suited for him, and he doesn't disappoint. Whether it's his sharp one-liners, priceless facial reactions, or general good-nature about making a complete fool of himself, Campbell is hilarious as Ash. This is undoubtedly my favorite performance of his, period. Director Sam Raimi shows off his usual kinetic style, delivering plenty of zooms and swirling camera movements. Most of the action sequences (and there are a LOT of them) are played equally for laughs and thrills, but probably succeed at the former slightly more successfully than the latter. The only movie I can think of that managed to keep its action completely thrilling while consistently mingled with silly physical humor is Stephen Sommers' The Mummy (which obviously gained inspiration from this movie)(Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade also accomplished the task, but boasted better and less silly physical gags). As much as I enjoyed Army of Darkness, it's not as if though the movie couldn't have been improved. Some jokes fall flat and the concept of Ash fighting his evil twin hardly lives up to its full potential. While the intentionally cheesy and fun special effects and make-up effects are perfectly suited for the film, I would have preferred more sets. Most of the movie is based around one castle (albeit a very large one), without even a small village surrounding it; kind of gives off that low-budget vibe (though it's easily the most expensive of the Evil Dead series). The director's cut attaches another fifteen minutes to the movie, most of which neither hampers the movie nor enhances its enjoyment. In fact, I would have welcomed this 96-minute cut if not for the alternate ending, which may be more in tone with the trilogy, but doesn't measure up to the hilarious S-Mart finale of the theatrical cut. As far as comparison with its predecessors, it's different enough in tone to not warrant any comparisons, but what the hell, I'll give one, anyway. Army of Darkness is more consistently enjoyable than Evil Dead 2 (which wasn't scary and only sporadically funny), but not up to par with the original The Evil Dead (which remains one of the most frightening films I've ever seen).

Summary: Personal favorite.
Review: One thing that makes this movie great is that the writing/plot/acting are all pretty good, nothing special, but good, what makes it great is that the director purposefully used less money than they could have. wich becomes increasingly obvious throughout the movie.
a true cult classic and possibly one of the best comidies ever made.
(if you are looking for a horror movie that's like the first 2 evil deads, than by all means stay away, but if you are looking for a good laugh than look no further.)

Summary: Good Movie, but Not This Edition!
Review: 3 stars for this particular edition, not for the movie itself: If you're looking for Army of Darkness, be sure to check for other editions. I bought this one years ago before other editions were out and should warn you: this is the highly cut edition and contains no extra footage or DVD extras. It's just the plain old movie. Interestingly, if you watch AOD on television you'll see scenes which are not on this DVD. Since this version is so short, TV stations use the director's cut to fill out the time and in my opinion the director's cut is better. Check out the "Boomstick Edition" for a better DVD of this movie.
