Groovy

Rating: 10/10 (26 October 2005)

Now anybody who has seen the first two Evil Dead movies, is already throughly confused about what is going on (unless you pick up that the first segment of Evil Dead 2, is supposed to cover the first movie, then expand on it, so no, for once Ash wasn't stupid enough to go back to that cabin, even though the case says he does). So no surprise that the ending of Evil Dead 2 is slightly changed, to goto the beginning of this, but not by much. Anyways... This movie kicks major deadite ass. With more great one lines than you can shake a stick at, this movie delivers everything you want. While it takes care of the horror early (the pit scene, the she-bitch scene, and the part where Ash is running from the "Evil Dead" in the force) this shouldn't disappoint fans of the first two. This is the single most quotable movie ever, I tend to say when somebody tells me I'm being a jackass because I won't give them something I respond, "Good, bad, I'm the one with the____." Definitely great, while Bruce Campbell isn't the best actor in the world, he sure does a great job as Ash, and nobody, not even ASHTON KUTCHER, can replace him. Anybody who expects this movie to be a horror movie, is so far from wrong. It was/is meant as parody of movies like Jason and the Argunauts. Now I have to put in my two cents about the different endings of this movie. 1) Original Ending: Really like this ending, and usually watch it with this one (as I have The Boomstick Edition), but the thing is, if Evil Dead 4 isn't made (which it reportedly is) it is a big let down for the fans, but it is exactly what Ash would do, the thing is I saw this ending first and I thought "Hail to the king, baby" was one of those famous lines that was never said, so you miss that one. (Another line that I like better in the Theatrical cut is "Good, bad, I'm the one with the gun." As opposed to, "I'm not that good baby." In this ending Ash takes one too many drops, and sleeps an extra hundred years, waking up in a post apocalyptic world, which makes 100% sense with they way things have been going in (as I have guessed, about a span of 4-7 days, Evil Dead 1 night, Evil Dead 2 continues it to the next night, then Army of Darkness is like, two days to five days) this particular week. Great, has one line that I absolutely love "Ha ha, manufactured products" just the way he says it makes me crack up. 2) The S-Mart Ending: Very funny, very flashy, very Hollywood. I think for this movie, and what it was trying to do (make fun of big Hollywood epics) this made more sense, but in the sense of the series, made sense, but not as much as the original. What you get here is Ash kicking more Deadite ass, and getting the girl. So go out and buy this, NOW! DON'T MAKE ME SHOVE MY BOOMSTICK UP YOUR ASS!
