Army of Darkness is the third part of The Evil Dead trilogy and is the silliest
of them all.
Even the movie poster is equally ridiculous. Although I like the first two because of the well-done
special effects, Army of Darkness doesn't hold up as well. Rather, it's one of the worst crap I've seen.
There's neither sense nor sanity throughout, forcing me to say, "What the fuck?" every ten minutes.
The plot is only dependent on the idea of Ash taking Book of Dead without saying the words. So, think about it: if the book
was lying right there, shouldn't the Deadites have taken it as easily from the get-go, thus avoiding the entire mess?
As for Ash who was an affable guy in the first two films, I don't like him this time because he's an egomaniac with too much hubris.
In the interim, some of the battles are drawn out with no purpose, causing me to yawn most of the time.
All in all, forget Army of Darkness; you should stick with the first two films.
