He'd do anything with no concern for how it affected others, but it was always in accordance with the advancement of his work. He was wholly committed to his research, but he never displayed signs of malice. The Herbert West of the first film was a lovable antihero with psychotic tendencies. He has all of maybe four appearances throughout the story, and his personality is horribly represented even in those precious few sequences. With that in mind, they really dropped the ball. That's all well and good, because I absolutely adore that West. Lovecraft story where he originated, but the West they're using here is clearly intended to represent the Jeffrey Combs version. The other character of note, and the one that truly sunk my rating for this, is Dr. Here, a lot of the slapstick seems to be missing. The Ash of the third film was already much more of an indestructible James Bond kind of character than the first two "Evil Dead" movies, but he still seemed to get hurt quite a bit. I'd say he's represented fairly well here, but he seems a little bit too overpowered. I haven't read any of the other "Army Of Darkness" comics, so I can only compare this Ash to the Bruce Campbell version. ![]() It honestly hurts to give this such a low rating, as I'm really a huge fan of both franchises but, I was totally disappointed in this from start to finish, in no small part because of its disservice to one of my all-time favorite characters. ![]()
