Not Awful, But still a huge disappointment

Rating: 6/10 (1 December 2010)

I am a huge fan of the horror genre & Evil Dead II has to be one of my all time favorites, and whilst Army of Darkness is OK for what it is, it was a huge let down as the third installment in the series.
One of my main problems with this movie is that it has nothing to do with the rest of the series, I mean when did a creepy psychological thriller about demonic possession suddenly turn into a medieval fantasy epic.
Whilst I found allot of the slapstick humor quite quite amusing and Bruce Campbell's one-liners delightful (his acting is one of the main redeeming features of this movie), I still don't see how this movie is anything like the rest of the films, which where very brutal gory horrors (This movie is pretty tame in the gore department and I can't even except that it is a horror movie).
I think that this movie that just suffers for being too close to the original, I think it is good for what it is but as part of the Evil Dead series it is HUGE disappointment.
