Product Description
From Amazon.com
A movie that only true horror buffs could love, Army of Darkness is officially part 3 in the wild and wacky Evil Dead trilogy masterminded by the perversely inventive director Sam Raimi, who would later serve as executive producer of the popular syndicated TV series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Raimi's favorite actor, Bruce Campbell, returns as Ash (hero of the first two Evil Dead flicks), a hardware-store clerk who is magically transported--along with his beat-up Oldsmobile and a chainsaw attachment for his severed left forearm--to the brutal battlefields of the 14th century. He quickly assumes power (who else in the Middle Ages packs a shotgun and a chainsaw?), and unites his band of medieval knights against the dreaded Army of the Dead. Raimi gleefully subverts almost every horror-movie cliché as he serves up a nonstop parade of blood, gore, and vicious sword-bearing skeletons--an affectionate homage to animator Ray Harryhausen's classic Jason and the Argonauts. The frantic action is fun while it lasts, but even at 80 minutes Army of Darkness nearly wears out its welcome. You know that Raimi can maintain the mayhem for only so long before it grows tiresome, and fortunately this madcap movie quits while it's ahead. --Jeff Shannon

Only way to watch the BEST MOVIE EVER,
This review is from: Army of Darkness [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I've probably seen Army of Darkness a hundred times and on several different formats over the years. When I watched this Blu-Ray edition it was like watching it for the first time. I found myself smiling the whole way through and noticed little details that only hi-def can provide. It's great that they can make old movies people love look brand spanking new. That being said, the disc doesn't contain much else, but none of the other Army of Darkness releases did either. It has the theatrical cut only, which I actually prefer as the directors cut changed some key one-liners. You can watch the Alternate ending seperately, and there is the featurette on creating the deadites which we've seen before. Oh, and the audio commentary.So nothing new except the quality, but thats enough reason to pick this up. Plus it sounds amazing. If you want a bunch of Evil Dead special features then pick up the Evil Dead blu-ray or ultimate edition DVD. It has tons of stuff, but sadly I don't see many AOD extras coming anytime soon, as I dont think much behind the scenes stuff exists. But don't let that get you down you primitive screwheads. This is still one to pick up!

very,very funny!!!,
This review is from: Army of Darkness (Widescreen) (DVD)
Anyone who's going try and take this movie serious and say that the acting is bad and the specialfx are poor are not the people they had in mind to watch this film.This is the movie they wanted to make and those of us with a true sense of humour will agree that it's genius.It's over the top,funny,witty and very entertaining.Just lastnight I played this movie for a buddy of mine for the first time and he was in stitches and kicked himself for not seeing it sooner.I'm not a big horror movie nerd, but this movie along with evil dead II are in my top 50 list for sure.And as far as the special fx go,I find they give this movie it's own dreamscape and make it very twisted and creepy and the same goes for evil dead I and II.

hey ugly!,
By Trauma (Gotham City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Army of Darkness (Two-Disc Boomstick Edition) (DVD)
Over the past few years ive introduce my spouse to The Evil Dead films mainly the first two since ive been waiting for them to stop releasing numerous versions of the third one.So I bought The BoomStick Edition and her and I watched it and she was in tears from start to finish. She finally agreed with me that yes Bruce is the man. Army of Darkness is so stupid yet totally watchable even if it does fail to live up to the franchise expectations. Bruce has allready proven his chops recently with Bubba Ho Tep so im hoping that an allout final big boy finale for the Evil Dead series will follow. As much as I would like see Freddy vs Jason vs Ash that will not count no matter how good it may turn out to be as the big finale im craving to see.
