Rumor has it there's going to be a fourth one, and the Raimi brothers are collaberating on a script. Here's the link:

Is it me, or did you knock down your slime rating on "AOD" Andrew? I thought it had four originally.....

just watched it...such a fun film, but I wish they hadn't kept switching Ash's character from cowardly to awesome.  Just keep it awesome.  That's how we like it.

Nevertheless, a fun ride from beginning to end.  And the skeletons were hilarious, too, by the way.

5 mins - You know, "The Gods Must Be Crazy" would have been more interesting if the main guy had found a chainsaw instead of that bottle

It was a four under the older system that had a maximum of five.  I thought for quite a while about whether it should be a three or a four under the newer system.  Call it a three and a half?

I enjoy this movie, but I find the first two movies to be far superior.  I remember the first night I saw this.  Me and my roommates rented Evil Dead.  Loved it so much that we ran back out to Blockbuster and rented Evil Dead 2.  Loved it even more, but by this time blockbuster was closed for the night.  So, one of my roommates made some calls and found someone who had a burned copy of it, so we borrowed it from him and watched it.

Maybe I had seen too many movies that night, maybe it was too late, or maybe it wasn't what I expected after seeing the first two; but I really hated Army of Darkness that first time I saw it.  I bought it a few years later (I had already bought the first two and I'm something of an OCD completionist) and popped it into my dvd player and enjoyed it quite a bit.  Not as great as the first two (ED2 is my all time fav), but still pretty good.

When I was given the link to this site, my initial reaction was "cool!" .. now I see its run by a bunch of trolls who post every single movie just to get a rise out of people  I mean;  the Evil Dead trilogy are fun movies which everyone enjoys and understands their humor.   That the point of these movies; to combine the elements of cheesy bad movies with good filmmaking. which is brilliant.   And well received and loved by many fans.  So why is this labeled a bad movie?    Why is Hedgwig and the Angry Inch labeled a bad movie?  It receives praise and detractors - as most brilliant films do (Brazil, 2001 etc..)

I wish you guys would focus on generally accepted bad films - and chuck the films that receive split reviews

otherwise you guys are sad trolls

Have you read the review and actually looked around the site?  We celebrate everything from cult movies to truly awful creations of cinema.  The interest is if a movie is entertaining.  I rated "Army of Darkness" at 3 out of 4 slimes (call them stars) and said the following in the review:

I like "Evil Dead 2" more than "Army of Darkness." Yet, this is an entertaining cult film. You could even call it a gruesomely groovy comedy. The movie is filled with Three Stooges-style slapstick, and the head-bangs and eye-pokes are so well done that I get nostalgic to watch some old Stooges' shorts. Still, the reason that everybody loves Ash is that he has some great lines, the likes of which haven't been seen since the Stallone and Schwarzenegger action films of the 1980s, and he delivers them with style.

What about the review does not say that I liked the movie a lot?  Even more telling is that most of the reader comments say that the person liked or even loved the movie. 

Please provide a basis for your insulting comment that this is a site full of trolls.

Andrew gets this complaint over and over again from people who just do not get the basic concept of "bad" movies or of the site.  Because Andrew or someone else reviews a movie on a "bad movie" site does not mean that the movie is unentertaining or without merit.  It just means that it's a movie of interest to the badmovies.org audience.  Some people seem to think that just placing one of their favorite movies inside the "badmovies.org" domain is a way of insulting the film; that's not the case at all.  Movies with high slime ratings are entertaining and worth seeing (even if "bad" by conventional standards) and movies with low ratings or skulls should be avoided.  It's as simple as that.
