Reviews for Army of Darkness
a director, Raimi's strength lies in his manic inventiveness %u2013 which is somewhat in abeyance here, as he tries injecting some traditional plot elements into the old formula.

Army of Darkness s’impose comme un film diablement amusant, un summum dans le genre et à seulement quelques échelons d’Evil Dead II
10/31/04
I'll probably take heat for saying so, but this flick kind of sucks.
09/11/09
A bloody and fairly lifeless witch's brew of medievalism, Jonathan Swift and the Three Stooges.
08/14/06
Die-hard horror buffs beware: 'Army' gives the genre a giant 'Three Stooges'-style slap to the face.
09/03/03
Raimi approaches this scenario as if someone had given him a deep pail of Magic Markers and told him to draw the ultimate comic book.

[W]ickedly witty...

Raimi and his camera never slow down, which is good because many of the gags don't stand up to scrutiny.

In his own special way, Bruce Campbell is an icon of cool
03/19/03
...a comical send-up of sword-and-sorcery epics...filled with imaginative touches, but long flat stretches, too, and a good deal of sophomoric humor.
05/28/01
This is old-fashioned fun until the climactic battle, which almost comes across like routine bone piling after all the flights of fancy.
05/29/09
Camp isn't just an undercurrent here--it's the grindhouse force that drives the movie, with Bruce Campbell clearly happy behind the wheel.
08/01/07
Good old fashioned middle-age zombi movie with shoot guns and chainsaws.
08/01/02
To watch the movie is to join its chaotic flow of hyperactive energy.
04/29/05
Evil Dead 3, only more giggles than gore.
