Not enough laughs but plenty of action

Rating: Null/10 (25 October 2002)

This film usually describes itself as more of a comedy than anything else but the humor is practically nonexistent when opposed to the incredible action scenes and great special effects. It makes up for its lack of humor with an abundance of action. This third installment in director Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead" series once again features Bruce Campbell as the brave but dense Ash. This time out, an evil magical book transports Ash back to medieval times where he must do battle with several Dark Knight foes before he can return back to his own time. As usual with these kinds of films, there's enough gore to keep fans of that genre interested.
