The most hilarious Campbell movie I've ever seen!

Rating: 8/10 (16 April 2006)

Like it's predecessors, this movie was directed by Sam Raimi and starred Bruce Campbell. Evil Dead was horror, Evil Dead II was horror comedy, and this is just straight out hilarious. When I first bought this movie, I thought it wasn't gonna be that good. Finally, after a year of it sitting their in my collection, I picked it up, popped it in the DVD player and watched. I was proved wrong. I was laughing so hard, I started running around, I hit my head on the wall and got a concussion. This film takes off exactly where Evil Dead II left off. I love that little narrative that Ash gives at the beginning. The movie is basically about Ash, who gets transported back in time and gets captured by knights in 1300 A.D. Once they believe he is the man sent to destroy the deadites, he learns that the only way he can get back home is to receive the Necronomicon and destroy the army of darkness. Bruce Campbell always has to make it hard for himself. Ash has to go through heroic, dangerous, and hilarious obstacles to achieve his goal. Between the cartwheeling deadite in the pit, the mini ashes, evil ash, the hilarious army of skeletons, and Evil Ash again, this has to be th most hilarious action ever. And Ash is so obnoxious, it's hilarious to watch him get pummeled by every barrel of lard and skeleton in his path. The key that makes this movie so good is the blend of comedy and action. The special effects may be flawed, but are breathtakingly good for this type of movie. You'll have to watch this movie to really see how good this is. This is the king of cheesy action comedies.
my take: 10/10
