It's pure catchprase, not much else. It's artless. It's even a bit formless at times, and not in a god way. For a mainstream film in 1993, or whenever it came out, it has some appeal, like.. how did this ever get greenlit by the studios? I really like the first 10 minutes or so, and there are some choice moments later, often referencing better moments from the other two films. But the last 30 minutes or so are terrible, and even boring, something I can' say for Sam Raimi's other films (even the ones I don't like at all).
I will say, the movie's ending where Ash wakes up in the future.. the darker ending.. is really awesome. The "Hey She-Bitch" ending is bad.
You can hear Xena: Warrior Princess's war cry in this film. That alone is enough for me NOT to recommend it.
Interestingly, the effects in the first two Evil Dead films are topnotch, but the effects here -- in a somewhat big-budget, mainstream release -- are shit.
In execution, the whole film just seems to be weighed down by... something. Not sure what. It just kind of goes nowhere. The whole castle seige thing is boring. The comedy is spotty. The "Who wants some of this?" scene is terrible and awkward. Evil Ash is terrible, serving no purpose.
