Awesome. Funniest Movie you'll ever see.

Rating: Null/10 (6 February 2001)

If you're like me, Army of Darkness is one of those movies that you saw when you were about 15 or 16, and then didn't tell anyone about it, because you thought it so cool, and you wanted to keep it to yourself. Then 6 years later you realize that alot of people have seen this film and have kept it a secret too. Now it has gained some sort of quasi-cult status by a great many people under the age of 25, who don't realize how popular this film has become.
It is hard to believe that that the same man, Sam Raimi, who directed "The Evil Dead" in the mid 80's directed "Army of Darkness" (Looking back on it it is even harder to believe that he is the man who brought us "The Gift and "A Simple Plan")
AoD is one of the most creative and mind bending comedies you will ever see. It is rife with film references that only a true geek could appreciate, on top of that it parodies everything from "The Day the Earth stood Still", "The Wizard of Oz", "Jason and the Argonaughts", and more than anything else, the previous two Evil Dead Films, that are truly Cult Classics.
Bruce Campbell's "Ash" who appeaed in the two Evil Deads, is the archtypal Alpha Male, shotgun wielding, with a chainsaw for an arm (literally), and over-done chisled looks which almost mock the notion of what makes a good looking man.
Ash thinks he is control, which often leads to his undoing. Especially when he finds himself in 13th century england after being sucked into an odd vortex at the end of Evil dead 2. The inhabitants of the realm find themselves plagued by the "Deadites" an army of undead warriors brought to life by the same evil force which has inhabited the settings of all 3 films. The run-ins with these creatures culminates in an climactic battle between humans, skeletons and Ash's mutilated clone.
Only Ash has the ability to defeat these monsters, but how will he get back to the present? A little Hocus Pocus, wouldn't hurt.
If you want to see an excellent film taht will make you laugh... go rent "Annie Hall". If you want to see one of the most innovative, off the wall comedies ever made, go rent "ARMY OF DARKNESS".
