BLASPHEMY!!!!!!

I think the writer of this review needs to have an explanation of the definition of "B Movie Cult Classic"...

That's just ridiculous. The Evil Dead is one of my favorite horror movies. Also loved Evil Dead 2 and especially Army of Darkness.

Movie critics suck!!! A lot of times they just love awful boring movies and totally trash awesome ones. The only critic important to me is - well ME.

You know what they say... "Those who can, do. Those that can't, teach." More often than not, "Those who can't, review" is just as accurate.

I often wonder why critics, if they're so knowledgable about what makes things "good", don't just show us all how it's done by making their own f*cking movies/games/music/TV Shows instead of trashing stuff that millions of people love?

Bruce Campbell is a golden god and no hack critic can change that. Period.

Actually I don't like Evil Dead either, it's boring. I liked Army of Darkness way better.

I can answer that question plain and simple:

Because they're elitist, bigoted "intellects" that think the only thing that makes a movie/film good is if it has a certain cerebral quality to it that the common man doesn't understand or it has a "cultured" flavor to it (stuff like "The Pianist"). Time to whip out George Carlin on them...

Agreed, but that still doesn't change the fact that if they really knew f*ck-all about anything, they'd come down off their sanctimonious perch and show the rest of us how it "should" be done. But no, they'd rather lash out from afar because they know that in fact, they know nothing, and telling other people how to think is all they're qualified to do.

Movie critics remind me of the internet wrestling critics who criticize everyone except Chris Benoit and Eddy Guerrero, and tell everyone who sucks and who doesn't, when 99% of these "critics" are bald, overweight guys in their late 30s who can't even run a mile let alone set foot in a wrestling ring.

I agree with you, Leo.

Why the hell would anyone choose to not criticize Eddy Guerrero?

So, because they aren't physically fit means they aren't knowledgeable about wrestling?

It's the same reason why I don't feel fit to criticize particular football or basketball players based on skill or lack of it... I never played, so what the hell do I know? It's easy to be an armchair quarterback... actually DOING it is something completely different.

It's the exact same thing with critics of movies... it's easy to pick out the flaws in someone else's product when you're not the one involved with it.

I'm probably one of the biggest Bruce fans on the board, I can't get enough of him. I'm currently waist deep in deadite corpses in "Evil Dead: Fistful of Boomstick" and this review pisses me off.

*Revs chainsaw* I wanna play tag with the reviewer....

Not really defending critics[Few even bashed the first TMNT movie] But you criticize critics when you yourself are not a professional critic. And talking about "critics" is very generalizing, they are not a big cult that have joined forces to bash movies that ordinary folk like. They are just people who get paid of telling their opinions about movies. It's not just that, a good critic can also explain why he thinks that way. It's easier to find flaws in others reviews than to write a good review yourself. I should know, I have written few[altough I'm just an amateur at best].

Ooooh, fellow Bruce fan. Hot damn.

I just finally snagged that game, but haven't been able to find my NTSC-compatable Playstation yet. Gah, AH! Again, as I usually swear, damn you, Europe! Damn you!

But this isn't exactly a movie review site in general, it's just a section of a different site...thus, I don't think he was paid to write that.
