Incredibly funny and entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2006)

Sam Raimi is at least as cool as Quentin Tarantino or Robert Rodriguez. Why's that? Well, they share some similarities in their career, especially Rodriguez and Raimi. Both had basically no money to shoot their first film but did it anyway. With what result? Both made fine movies, far from the usual and the known. They just shot their vision. Ain't that an awesome thing to watch? Well, EVIL DEAD is past, ARMY OF DARKNESS is the subject under discussion. And damn, of all three movies about the eternal unlucky fellow Ash, who always reminds me of full-time victim of life Al Bundy, I like ARMY OR DARKNESS the best. Finally Sam Raimi had enough money to create a movie with lots of amusing special effects. Just look at the rise of Evil Ash out of his grave. You must have issues if you don't laugh when you see that.
In the end, it's a comedy but a truly original one. Bruce Campell is just the man for this role and he is one great actor. ARMY OF DARKNESS is at least in the Top 5 of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Just the first dialog between Ash and Henry the Red..."Well hello Mister fancy pants!" This movie didn't give a damn about anybody's opinion. They just made what they liked and that's a wonderful act of courage. I'm not getting tired of hoping they make a number 4. The end of ARMY is open for some more adventures for poor Ash.
"Yoh, Shebitch!"
