Army of the Dead

The premise of reanimated skeletons on the rampage is as imaginative as "Army of the Dead" ever gets.

The characters are telling ghost stories at the campfire. Naturally, one recounts the film's backstory. The next day a greedy man tries to steal the treasure along with some mercenaries.

Naturally, to establish the mercs are terrible people, their boss pushes the greedy archaeologist to promise more riches, both from the treasure and otherwise, then tries to murder him after reaching the gold anyways, apparently his previous antics didn't qualify as obviously evil.

One of the expedition is rescued by the central characters, of which some exist solely to provide more deaths - literally, some people are only on screen in group scenes.

If you intend on watching a film almost interchangeable with many other horror movies, try viewing this.

Well it was terrible, but it is a hilarious kind of terrible. A great movie to watch with a group of friends. Its got Skeleton Spainards, pitiful cg, Spotaniously combusting arrows, Volkswagen desert racing, characters who refuse to communicate,extremely fuzzy logic, acting worthy of the worst you tube videos, and now that I mention it a crappy you tube video is exactly what this movie felt like. recycled cg atrocious writing and painful plot development. You can usually tell if a movie is going to be bad if by the end credits you never knew any one in the movie had a name. And for some reason the audio quality was really bad, and while that may actually be a good thing (as you would not have to hear the stupid dialog being poorly delivered) it was still sort of annoying. all in all its like a said I enjoyed the movie but it was not because it was any good at all.

This was just short of being a complete waste of time. The stop animation skeletons saved it.

It was strange seeing actors taking such a poorly written movie and playing it completely straight, as if they thought this was something good. That said the actors could on the whole act. I like "B" movies but they need certain redeeming features for them to work: either they need humor, gore or cleverness. This lacked all three. Yes there was some CGI and I suppose it almost gave me a laugh, but that is because it looked like rivers and fountains coming out of the people "bleeding". Seeing a one foot wide wall of CGI blood hit a windscreen and then in the next scene there are just a few dots of blood on that car...well...and this was about par for the movie. Just not worth your time.

At some point this must have seemed like a fresh idea, an army of C.G.I. skeletons defending a treasure. Unfortunately the skeletons, who do not speak, are more interesting, and have far better acting skills than anyone else in this movie. With stupid unnecessary female conflicts, ridiculous dialog "What the hell is that,blood?" "Yea this is not good", and "Indiana Jones" nonsense, "Army of the Dead" is a wannabe spectacle of awful proportions. What starts out as a dune buggy adventure, winds up with a possessed professor and illegal treasure plundering. BAD, and not good bad . "Sharks in Venice" is a masterpiece, because it's so bad it's good. This is just BAD. - MERK

I just finished watching this movie and i just wasted 89 minutes. CGI Skeletons, CGI Blood. The story isn't half bad but i missed some real undead and good acting.

I've seen a lot of horror movies including B movies but this one was over the top fake.

With a bigger budget and some good special effects this movie could be something.

I hope Romero's Army of the Dead is gonna be better (althoug i liked Land of the Dead) This is a story that screams for a big budget Remake. Some zombies instead of some lame CGI Skeletons then this movie would be interesting.

I finished the movie because i never quit a movie halfway through. But this one i wont watch again
