Give us a 4th ED.....please

Rating: Null/10 (28 March 2000)

*SPOILER MAYBE?*
Last Christmas, armed with a chinese take away, me and my brother sat down and watched the entire ED triology in one sitting. Watching the films back to back its very surprising how 'advanced' the third film appears when compared to the orginal.
While the first 2 (espically the first one) had a very gritty feel and look, AOD is more of a big budget film and seems to be targeted to a wider audience rather than 'slasher fans'. Also the gore factor seems to be reduced from the previous film.
There is more jokes and humourless lines in this one and Ash is prehaps much more likable maybe due to the fact that he is both the big hero and an absolute coward at the same time. I guess it makes a change from having strong brave heros rather than ash who acts like a selfish git who cares only about himself.
The film also has 2 different endings depending on which country you live in...America (and some others which i cant remember) gets the happy ending while japan and the UK (and a few others) get the sad ending. Having seeing both endings I thought the sad ending was a bit of an anti climax and disappointing although it seemed to fit due to the fact the first 2 also had endings which had Ash in a bad situation. The happy ending did give a feel-good feeling and I reckon after the amount of crap Ash went through he deserved it.
Defintly a great film although I did enjoy the second one best.
