Best of the 'Evil Dead' trilogy

Rating: Null/10 (30 December 2004)

Following on directly from 'Dead by Dawn', Ash and his Oldsmobile fall out of the sky, and are trapped in 1300 AD. Ash is captured by soldiers, thinking Ash is a soldier of their enemy, Duke Henry. Well, they throw Ash in a pit with a deadite, Ash kills the deadite, and now everyone thinks he is the hero from the prophecy - the hero will fall from the sky and stop the Army of Darkness.
Only the Necronomicon can save the middle-ages-dudes from the deadites, and send Ash back to his proper time, so its up to Ash to find the Necronomicon. Of course, there are some... complications in his quest.
'Army of Darkness' takes the 'Evil Dead' series in a whole new direction. The horror and gore is gone, replaced by comedy and fantasy. Some other reviewers have already hinted to the best way to describe this movie: Campy b-movie inspired by older fantasy movies ('Jason and the Argonauts' in particular'). If you enjoyed the first two 'Evil Dead' movies, don't expect much of the same style in 'Army of Darkness' - the 'Evil Dead' style is all but gone. Except for Ash. Ash is King.
However, there is nothing to be disappointed about. 'Army of Darkness' is a very funny movie. Well written, some really cool special effects - even the acting is better, and this a schlock movie! Simply put, this movie is basically the adventures of the Cult-God Ash, Hail to the King! Ash wanders around kicking deadite arse, equipped with the best lines ever written, and generally being awesome. Seems like this was the perfect role for Bruce Campbell.
I haven't seen the original ending, but to the S-Mart ending I deem:
Coolest. Ending. Ever.
9.5/10 - My favourite of the 'Evil Dead' trilogy, and nearly fun for all ages! Almost...
