Army of Darkness

ARMY OF DARKNESS (1992) - May 28, 2009
Featuring Ash, after having traveled into the past at the end of the last movie, defending a castle from demons in the middle ages. The confined setting of the first two films is replaced here with a much more epic feel, and all traces of the more generic Ash from the first film have been completely wiped out -- the Ash here is a one-liner spouting bad-ass, and is definitely a supremely memorable character; it goes without saying that Bruce Campbell is pretty much perfect in the role. This is also the funniest of the three films (the Three Stooges-esque scene involving Ash being accosted by a bunch of skeletons in a graveyard being a highlight), and probably the most flat-out entertaining. ***1/2
