Reviews for Army of Darkness
...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.
Raimi and his camera never slow down, which is good because many of the gags don't stand up to scrutiny.
A bloody and fairly lifeless witch's brew of medievalism, Jonathan Swift and the Three Stooges.
I'll probably take heat for saying so, but this flick kind of sucks.
