"Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and things with... molecular structures."

Bruce fucking Campbell.

This film concludes a horror franchise I consider to be one of the greatest ever conceived.

It is the trilogy's Santa Claus, adding joy, merriment and laughter.

And chainsaws.

And Deadites.

And time travel.

And cloning.

And magic.

Ok, so it's nothing like Santa at all, but you get my point.

Oh, and I'm so proud! I managed to do this without one quote!

Groovy!

....bollocks....

giving this movie less than 5 stars would be a crime against humanity

76/100

An atmospheric blast of old-school adventure and classical horror, Army of Darkness is a wacky example of distinct energy and grotesque low-budget beauty. Castles, skeletons, fog, and monsters; every trope adds to a modern reinvention of palpable mood and thrilling escapades. Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell are one of the great director/actor duos.

I LOVE skeletons and the army of the dead were adorable but I can not handle all of the action hero one-liners and the super long battle scene. We watched the director's cut this time and I have the hardest time deciding which ending I prefer, this or the theatrical?? They're both kinda dumb, but maybe I like the director's cut version better because it has less "quotable" dialogue. Army of Darkness thrived in the scenes that called on the 3-stooges humor that worked so well in Evil Dead and Evil Dead II, but sadly this was made in a different decade and relied a little too heavily on what was relevant at the time. *pause for dramatic effect* "Quotable conclusion"

This film is perfect. I love it so much (and you should too.)

So yeah, Army of Darkness might just be my favourite of the Evil Dead franchise. While the film is very goofy and doesn't quite have the amount of gore that the rest of the series is known for, this one just knew what it was. Although you have to admit that this series is full of continuity errors.

I view the Evil Dead trilogy as one big, long story, and Army of Darkness is certainly the campiest and funniest film in the whole trilogy. It has the best moments, the best one-liners and is exactly what you want and expect from it. Sam Raimi is an inventive genius and this trilogy is one of the greatest trilogies of all-time!
Although I must consider this film to be the weakest of all three, since I consider the first two, especially Evil Dead 2 to be near horror masterpieces, this one certainly gains from being so hysterical and over-the-top, making it the most fun to watch, out of all three.

79/100

It's no Evil Dead 2, but there is still some enjoyable moments.

I know it's a classic
I know it's Sam Raimi
I know it's groovy
I know it's Bruce Fucking Campbell
But it's just so silly...I can't. #SorryNotSorry

Army of Darkness is so stupid but it is stupid in such a way that it's absolutely hilarious! Everything is extremely cheesy, although the action is epic and Bruce Cambell is a genuinely great physical comedian and bad ass. While some effects such as demon costumes and blood are pretty bad, I absolutely loved the stop motion used for skeleton effects. There's nothing deep to be found here at all and a couple jokes do fall flat, but everything is so over the top stupid that it's hilarious. That's one groovy movie.

Groovy baby

Hail to the King, baby.
Enough said.
