Summary: The definitive guilty pleasure film
Review: "Army of Darkness" is filmed, acted, and written so tongue-in-cheek that I'm amazed they didn't wear holes through the sides of their faces. While the set pieces, battle sequences, and cinematography are as masterful as any Spielberg film, "Army of Darkness" was obviously made simply with the idea of making it an all-out entertaining picture and it succeeds in that way, on every level. The physical comedy element from "Evil Dead 2" returns with a vengeance; I've seen this movie more than fifty times and every gag still works. But instead of the cabin in the woods and sense of isolation that we felt in the preceeding two films, "AOD" has the scope of a grand-scale sword and sorcery epic, using its visual effects to turn backlots in Los Angeles into vast stretches of woodsy nothingness.The movie's not much in the area of plot. It doesn't need to be. Movies like "Army of Darkness" are not about elaborate plot devices and subplots and dramatic pauses; they're about action, and giving us as the popcorn-stuffing audience members a good time for our money. A lot of the credit for all these successes goes to Bruce Campbell, as our main everyman character: The moron, the braggart, the blowhard, Ash. God love em. True, the idea of Ash being a cowardly character has completely left the story for the idea of him becoming this leader of men that we root for. True, the logistics of the film suffered in the editing process. And true, we never really see Ash reload his gun before he fires again. But does it matter? Not at all. The film moves too fast for us to care. The action sequences are so well executed that we can forgive the movie for just about anything, and the fact that it has an enormous sense of humor about itself doesn't hurt either. Classifying it as a horror film does it a discredit. It's not a horror film at all; it's not even one of those self-parodies that are so popular these days since Kevin Williamson had the cahones to write "Scream". It's an action-comedy that sky rockets into a stratosphere all its own in both categories. Both coexist in perfect balance most of the time, once in a while tipping in one direction or the other. The result is a masterpiece. Sam Raimi learned a lot from the days of "Evil Dead" developing an involving visual style and a sense for drama which he used on "A Simple Plan" and "The Gift". This is all well and good, and those films gave him the critical merit to direct "Spider-man", but I think his job on "Army of Darkness" gave him the real tools needed. And even if "Spider-man" becomes the enormous success that's expected, he'll always be remembered for his cult favorite series that began with a group of college kids in a cabin being killed off by an invisible force, one by one, leaving only Ash, who lived and carries "Army of Darkness" on his shoulders - bouncing up and down with laughter all the way.

Summary: Camp Classic
Review: People please.... this movie was of course not meant to be scary. It's called camp. This movie is one of the best movies for revelling in silliness. Bruce Campbell is brilliant as Ash.. our beloved, dumb, sarcastic hero. Don't THINK about this movie... this is not meant for an esoteric crowd. It's purpose is FUN.

Summary: Sam's masterpeice continues!
Review: Sam Raimi has outdone himself this time. The third Instalment in The Evil Dead Trilogy is the best. Even Though Sam Raimi changed several things from the second film, this is still the best. Our hero Ash (once again Campbell) is sent back in time to the 1300's. He is captured and he escapes from the pit. They then decide he is the choosen one to retrive The Book Of The Dead and save them from the terror of the Deadites. Of course not being the smartest person in the world he screws up, and unleashes a army of the dead on the people. He then has to help them defeat them. Why Universal wanted Sam to change the ending I do not know the orignal ending was much better it could have started a whole new line of sequels. The orignal ending is at the end of this tape, and it can be seen on the movie on The Director's Cut.

Summary: Army Of Darkness - Sam Raimi's A God!
Review: As far as trilogies go, none have ever gone to the excessive levels than the Evil Dead series. By combining grotesque horror and comedy Sam Raimi and resident funny man Bruce Campbell brought to the screen cult classics that never seemed to pale with each sequel. With AOD Sam has taken the much more humourous side of things and come up with a brilliantly funny film that sticks it to the medieval aqges whilst holding onto those trademark stopmotin special effects that we come to know and love. This film is great if you're in dire need of a good laugh! Watch it, you'll love it!

Summary: Hail to the king, baby
Review: What a great DVD! This DVD has so many features its unbelievable. Lets start out with it being digitaly remastered by THX. The picture and sound are so crisp and clean its unreal. It also features the original widescreen aspect which looks great. And oh yeah, did I mention it comes with the original directors cut which is 15min longer than the theatrical cut ? Only downside of the the new scenes in the directors cut is that they are not DVD quality, they are very dark and moody. Also included is a making of featurette which is very interesting to see with all the behind the scenes. There is also commentary by Bruce, and Sam. Which is very fun to listen to. Also included are 4 deleted scenes including a alternate begining. And there is an alternare ending on the first disc. And so much more. Pick one of these babys up if you can find one...Groovy

Summary: THIS IS DEFINITELY THE BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME
Review: This is definitely the best movie of all time, but what stinks is no one has any idea what the crud it is. No one needs to have heard of it or have seen it to buy it. I bought a few copies of this movie since it was so great. I look at the vodeos as more of a collector's piece than a video. Everytime I get together with my friends we watch this movie and they love it. Bruce Campbell is hilarious, this movie isn't even scary at all, it's more funny than scary. But I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you tape this off of the sci-fi channel or usa or something. The television version is much better, there are extra scenes and some words are voiced-over. I really recommend you at least see this movie if you like cheaply made movies. I still can't determine if this movie was meant to be funny or not!

Review: How did such a hilarious movie end up in horror?, Don't ask me but Army of Darkness is really one to see
Rating:
Summary: clatu, baratta, nictu!
Review: This is absolutely hilarious. It's not a hum drum horror film, it's a very comical horror. This is the 3rd EVIL DEAD film and it's very different and enjoyable. Watch out for a copy of FANGORIA horror magazine and a zombie character played by Bill Mosely (texas chainsaw massacre 2)

Summary: This movie is groovy
Review: I have seen this movie about a thousand times and spend way too much time talking about it to people that are only interested in current news. The one thing that I have noticed is that many people say that this is a bad horror movie. For anyone that has seen the Evil Dead trilogy, you should recognize that THIS IS NOT A HORROR MOVIE! It is the most entertaining movie (along with the Holy Grail) ever made. I don't think Raimi had any intentions of scaring people, he wanted to produce the movie as eye candy. He was trying to do something different that does not fit any one genre of style, and succeeded. Do not watch this movie with any expectations: except to experience a wonderful 90 minutes of eye candy and great one- liners.
