don’t know what it was about evil dead and evil dead 2 that made sam raimi look back at them and decide the only logical conclusion to the trilogy was to send ash to 1300 AD to fight a skeleton army but i absolutely love where his mind was at
ciaraProbably my favorite of Raimi's trilogy because the main character is at his most entertaining here, and while I find this one's insane tonal whiplash and absurd out-of-nowhere concepts to be utterly at odds with the previous two films, they're silly and distinct and…

giving this movie less than 5 stars would be a crime against humanity

Matt SingerApr 6, 2022Nobody moved a camera like ’90s Sam Raimi. You could teach an entire class on visual storytelling on just what Raimi does here in the first 20 minutes. The pans, shifts, zooms, and dollies; they’re wild and frenetic but they’re also totally clear and completely in the…

"give me some sugar, baby" oh, bruce campbell, if only i could
viMar 30, 2022Okay I knew that Evil Dead 2 turns the franchise into a comedic thing but I have only seen the first Evil Dead and the remake so I didn’t know the TONE of comedy that this would be… boy, was i in for a shock. Absolute blast of a movie, weirdly very scary at parts and then…

7/10 the blood in this movie was terrible. it was basically just a comedy no horror at all. ash is still funny as hell but it’s a terrible way to end the original franchise. evil ash was terrible + not funny. i loved when ash’s jaw did wtv that was😭 this movie was groovy.

Jeff The Epic likedArmy of DarknessWhile feeling like a total departure from the series’ horror roots, this movie still maintains it’s signature violent slapstick comedy, but cranks up the humor. This movie doesn’t take itself too seriously, but I sometimes wished it would taken itself a bit more seriously.

1st time watching this was 15+ years ago and I didn’t even know wtf was going on. All I remembered was a man with a chainsaw arm fighting skeletons and deadites. Fast forward now I can fully grasp how goated this film really is. The intro was amazing, fully capped both Evil Dead 1 & 2 very well as…
Cinemutt is "meh" onArmy of DarknessSome parts are awesome & hilarious, & others are the weirdest and cheesiest thing I’ve ever seen. Definitely fun but I wish there was more to it. Bruce Campbell was awesome & I 🫶 the concept but idk it was just alright. Maybe I needed context but I don’t think it would’ve helped.
Re-Animated Corpse likedArmy of DarknessThe plot for this one, in my opinion, felt more constant than the last one! I will say the is one and the last one are definitely around the same level of enjoyment BUT I enjoyed this one way more! I love the slapstick, love the fights, even if it’s not as scary as the others :DD
- Evan Vachon likedArmy of Darkness
6/10 Easily the weakest of the evil dead trilogy. The comedy in this movie really falls flat for me a lot of the time and I didn’t really care about anyone other than Ash. Bruce Campbell, the evil dead lore and Sam Raimi’s direction really carries this movie for me. Not horrible
NoobCentral945 likedArmy of DarknessThis isn’t at all a bad film, but I hate to call it an Evil Dead movie. It’s basically a PG-13 film and compared to the others in the franchise is a huge disappointment. There is little to no blood or gore and only like three deadites. I still love this movie, but it doesn’t fit
Obihulk lovedArmy of Darkness8.8/10 while not being as gruesome as the previous two films, it still does a brilliant job at giving the audience a great time. It’s punch lines are hilarious and easily recognizable. I also love how the film uses the same animation style Ray Harryhausen used before.

Metacritic
Taken on its own terms, Army of Darkness displays some ambition and wit, though not nearly enough to lend it broad appeal.
Janet Maslin
The New York Times
A poor man's Excalibur, but the fact of the matter is that the film displays far too little of the incisor-sharp wit and out-of-control mayhem readily available in the other two films. It just doesn't work.

No matter what your opinion is of the movie, you're unlikely to be bored.
