Hail to the king, baby!

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2000)

As a young lad I had a little game on my computer. It was a fairly mindless violent kill everyone type of game. That game was "Duke Nukem". Even though I have now grown out of that game, it still hung in the back of my mind. A few weeks ago during a horrid snow storm I trudged my way through the snow to the video store. I returned with a copy of Army of Darkness thinking it would be a nice little movie to watch when I was stuck home. It was more than that. It was a completely rediculous, insain movie that made me recant my past days getting blown to bits by my friends in "Duke".	A word to the wise. Don't watch this movie expecting anything serious at all. It is for fun and nothing else. It doesnt try to be a serious deal and thats what I like about it. Its got no message, a small and non-intricate plot, and the characters are foolish. One of the memorable moments in this movie occurs when the hero, Ash, is attacked my mini versions of himself. This scene illustraits the point of this movie. The comedy featured in this scene is pure physical comedy, which is found less and less in movies today.	Do not think while watching this movie just watch. Ignore the fact that the special effects are by no means up to todays standards. By all means have fun and afterwards play a little "Duke Nukem" online with a buddy.
