"Hilarious and unexpectedly adventurous, this horror/comedy is like Indiana Jones meets Sinbad in the three worlds of Gulliver." - Gone with the Twins
"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." - The Blue Spot
"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. After that, it’s a comedy—Bruce Campbell supplies this with his slapstick physical comedy skills and perfect delivery of an endless stream of wise-ass one-liners. (Horror ranks a distant third place in Army—the filmmakers actually had to go back and add in scenes later because the movie wasn’t scary enough.) Most of all, it’s incredibly fun, which is why the movie has had such a long-lasting appeal. Because of its weird combination of genres and tropes, Army of Darkness probably wouldn’t be made today. (It’s shocking that it was even made 25 years ago.)" - Under The Radar
