Army of Darkness' story is so perfunctory and lame that there's nothing to tether its bits and pieces of loopy madness.

Containing less of the blood soaked insanity of the previous two instalments, Army of Darkness comes off as more of an adventure film with a horror element attached to it.

More than anything, Army of Darkness is a tribute to the Ray Harryhausen adventure epics (Clash of the Titans, Sinbad, and the like) that Sam Raimi grew up loving.

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

A loopy work of imagination that never fails to be entertaining.

The climactic battle between the living and the dead that closes the picture is well done yet disappointingly lacking in thrills...
April 05, 2013
Works in being a spooky and entertaining darkly comedic horror movie...

Sam Raimi's Army of Darkness delivers a great conclusion to what is one of the most unique trilogies in cinema history, providing a ton of laughs and plenty of exciting action in the process.

Raimi turns his back on the horror genre that brought him fame in the first place and delivers instead a cartoonish sword-and-sorcery fantasy, albeit one with some pretty cool monsters and special effects.

This is old-fashioned fun until the climactic battle, which almost comes across like routine bone piling after all the flights of fancy.

I'll probably take heat for saying so, but this flick kind of sucks.
