Army of DarknessJune 17, 2002
Grade: C
When I rented Army of Darkness, it was categorized in the action section at my video store. Notice that it was not in the horror section. More appropriately it should be in the comedy section. This is straight slapstick and one-liners, the Three Stooges' influence on Raimi has never been more apparent. There are a few good ones, but unfortunately many of the jokes fall flat. The story is non-essential, but the effects are pretty good, with a nod to the old Harryhousen skeletons. It's marginally entertaining, and certainly not the classic that some folks seem to think it is. - crocoPuffs
 Best line in the film? "Get the fuck out of my face." crocoCat says: "I'm not sure what a book of the dead would have to do with time travel, but whatever." |
