Some laughs but a 7?

Rating: Null/10 (2 March 2004)

I was hesitant to see this because I didn't think it was my type of flick, based on the people that tend to like the series. But I rented it anyway. It turned out to be pretty decent. Some very funny and stupid moments, along w/ some not so special FX. I thought it was so poorly made that you couldn't help but laugh at it. Then, to my surprise, I read comments here at IMDb and these people actually thought it was good. Not so-bad-it's-good, but "brilliant". I'm stunned. Are these people brain dead? I don't give a damn if they only had a couple hundred thousand to make it, that doesn't excuse the bad acting, bad makeup, bad script...bad everything. The sequels are even worse, except, they're not funny. They're just bad, and boring. The character Ash is not cool or funny, he sucks. Why does every movie in this crappy series have a rating over 7? Unbelievable. Not to say there aren't other bad movies w/ high ratings at this site but c'mon man...
