david-byrne Like with most American films, this one is corny, narrow and stupid. That might be OK for American audiences who think Saddam was behind 911, but not for educated people. The plot was bug infested and the acting mediocre at best. The script was about as bad as it gets with maybe the exception of Bette Midler in her blasphemous movie The Thorn. I felt sorry for the actors. Whoever wrote the script should have taken a vacation and hired some high school kids who would have done a better job. The effects were nonsense, as was the hero who said he used "Physics 101" to create a Tesla coil. The people who made this film obviously know next to nothing about electronics, or for that matter physics. I gave it two stars because there was one scene where you might get a bit of a fright and it only cost me $1.99 at the local supermarket. If you value what time you have left on earth, don't watch this movie.

poorklaus 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.

BA_Harrison Army of the Dead is a classic example of a film with ideas much bigger than its budget: a group of desert racers pitted against a legion of Conquistador skeletons is a wonderful notion, and using CGI technology to realise the complex visuals is perfectly OK in my book (I like CGI when done well), but, without enough cash in the coffers to do the concept justice, what is the point?The film starts off well enough, as a fairly likable bunch of thrill-seekers set off on a 500 mile high-speed journey, with one of their number secretly searching for the location of an ancient horde of gold. However, after he discovers the treasure, and triggers a curse that see hundreds of bony soldiers rise from their graves to protect the loot, the film goes rapidly downhill.With a skeletal army obviously 'inspired' by Jason and the Argonauts (and, consequently, Sam Raimi's Army of Darkness), a middle section which reminded me of Assault on Precinct, and a Terminator style ending (that last difficult-to-destroy skeleton looking more than a little like the relentless T-800 crawling after Sarah Connor), the film rarely feels very original (and is it just my imagination, or does the Army of the Dead's music also take its cues from the soundtracks of these far superior films?).Furthermore, the film's poorly developed script is loaded with plot contrivances and very silly moments that really take some swallowing: the hero's (obviously very rich) friends give him an original 16th century sword for a birthday present (unpractical when going on a long cross-country car journey, but so convenient against the undead); the guy seeking the treasure hires gun toting mercenaries to help him and looks surprised when he is double-crossed; a girl reveals she possesses super powers by lifting a huge boulder above her head; and the final survivors discover a convenient, abandoned radio station equipped with fuel and a massive generator—ideal for destroying their enemies.And as for the effects... in the right lighting (ie., very low), the CGI skeletal warriors are just about passable, but, for the most part, they look cheap (because they are) and laughable. Likewise, the various other digital effects—explosions, squirting blood, electrical power surges—are extremely amateurish and therefore quite unconvincing.Army of the Dead might possibly be fun for those who enjoy really cheesy B-movie trash, but will no doubt be quite painful for most others.

Densson It's really a terrible movie to me, I can't believe any score over than 1 point, maybe it's a different understanding. The storyline is awful, you might have seen over ten films like that, you could predict what will happen in the next minute very easily, and get a good preparation for every "scared moment"; the CGI was abysmal, the real people are definitely separated with animated characters, skeleton as well as the blood is so fake that is even worse than some computer games. I'm very surprised I could finish this movie with great patience because I'm wondering if it's true that the leading actor is Ross Kelly, and who is supposed not to show in any movie like this
