"Give me some sugar baby."
I am a huge fan of the Evil Dead series, the first being
my favorite. But this movie was not what I expected for the third
and final installment. It literally starts of where Evil Dead 2 ended.
With our cowardly main character Ash being sucked into a time portal into
the dark ages.
My main problem with Army of Darkness is that it doesn't
seem like a horror movie. It looks like one, but there is nothing
that would really be considered scary about it. Unless you are a small
child that is. It is more of an action comedy than anything else.
In fact it is more of a comedy than Evil Dead 2 was. Even though the
story still revolves around deadites and the book of the dead, it just
seems to have something missing from it.
Bruce Campbell returns for the roll of Ash, and he is the
same old Ash that he was in the first two movies. It seems as though
he was put on this earth to play that role, he is perfect. I would
even go so far as to say that he is a comedic genius.
Sam Raimi's directing is dead on, just like in the
previous two installments of the trilogy. He knows how to work with
the actors, especially Bruce. He also knows how to have the actors
use their surroundings to heighten their performance.
In the end, Army of Darkness is a good movie, and it is a
great finale to the series. But to me it just seems like something
is missing. Either way it is a must see film for all horror fans. |
