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

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

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

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

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.

Camp isn't just an undercurrent here--it's the grindhouse force that drives the movie, with Bruce Campbell clearly happy behind the wheel.

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.

A bloody and fairly lifeless witch's brew of medievalism, Jonathan Swift and the Three Stooges.

To watch the movie is to join its chaotic flow of hyperactive energy.

Army of Darkness s'impose comme un film diablement amusant, un summum dans le genre et a seulement quelques echelons d'Evil Dead II

Die-hard horror buffs beware: 'Army' gives the genre a giant 'Three Stooges'-style slap to the face.
