Laughed My Ash Off!!

Rating: Null/10 (29 March 2003)

I'm not an 'Evil Dead' fan. I've only seen 1 & 2 once some dozen years back (in the same weekend). Having said that, I am getting antsy to give them another shot. So I'm probably part of the minority that thoroughly enjoyed part 3 over it's predecessors. Why? Director Rami was beginning to graduate into a more polished film maker by this time with less of the rough edges that were in the first two (many may rightfully debate that this is part of their 'cult status' appeal). And Campbell had many moments that proves he's 'leading man' material. His acting is much more assured and FUNNY in this one.
So at $12.99 plus tax for the 'Official Bootlegger's Director Cut', just couldn't pass it up. Love that original ending (equally love the 'reshot' ending too!). Miss that "I'm the guy with the gun" line though. And Campbell and the Rami's bantering in the commentary made me a believer that some commentaries are worth listening to (which usually aren't justified except as an added selling tool).
7 out of 10! Wish there were more movies that were this much fun.
