why can't more films be like this?

Rating: Null/10 (7 January 1999)

Instead of spewing out a bunch of mindless crap, Hollywood should be looking back on films like Army of Darkness. I mean, films today are corny, cheesy, hokey, ridiculous, but the thing that brings them down are the fact that they take themselves seriously. The success of these movies is forgotten very quickly. Jumanji was big, but forgotten now, so was Twister and other such movies, ID4 is quickly disappearing. But movies that are relatively unsuccessful at the start, like AoD, become classics. That's because this film doesn't pretend to be anything other than just a plain old fashioned fun kickass flick!! If this movie took itself seriously, it would be doomed.... "Big Time". :)
Thank god (and Sam Raimi) that this film was made the way it was.
