Chris Stuckmann reviews The World's End, starring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan, and Rosamund Pike. Directed by Edgar Wright.
The Cornetto Trilogy is, hands down, my favorite comedy of all time! I can't pick one!
Same along with 22 jump street that was hilarious also.
Mine tooo
Its been 6 years will u asnwer
500th like.
I can pick one though. Hot Fuzz is my favorite. Followed by Shaun of The Dead and then World's End.
1. Shaun of the dead, Hot fuzz, The world's end
2.
3.
There's no point comparing them. They are all amazing.
You unintentionally made your list
1. Shaun of the dead
2. Hot fuzz
3. The worlds end 😄
@@RollingxBigshot naah that's just the order they came out
I like Paul as well
.... shame
Paul is awesome
You should totally review Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz!
+Shane Arnold Totally... Bang up for some Retro Rewind reviewing. Wrap up the Cornetto Trilogy!
YES
I want that to happen so bad
Shane Arnold He talked about _Shaun of the Dead_ during his 2015 Halloween special, so he should totally review _Hot Fuzz_ leading up to _Baby Driver_.
Shane Arnold YESSSSSSSS!!!
Funny as the film is, it was the serious side of it that I felt really made it effective. Pegg's character is the archtype of the guy who peaked in high school and has spent the rest of his life desperately trying to recapture it (the "Dazed and Confused" line of "If I ever look back and say these were the best years of my life, remind me to kill myself" fits him perfectly). When at the end, Frost demands why the Golden Mile is so important to him and he screams, "IT'S ALL I'VE GOT," the anguish and pain in his voice is heartbreaking.
It legit made me cry lol the throwback of the boys back in high school seeing Gary fucking king with a leather coat just like 20 years ago
mst3KGf favorite line delivering in all of cinema
I agree
I am jealous of the person who watched this movie knowing nothing about it. That would be an experience.
I watch this movie knowing only: Pub crawl, Cornetto Trilogy, possible aliens.
I knew nothing, it was AWESOME
I just watched it today not knowing a single thing, and my word was I shocked when all of a sudden he started fighting that kid in the bathroom
i messed this movie with this is the end
Just finished it without watching the trailer, my mind was blown.
That first scene was actually filmed at my school, I'm sure the teachers were thrilled to meet Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright when we didn't😠
Right....
You go to Marlborough then. St albans,
Arthur Wacker Well, all I can say is that you'll have to trust me, but I do go there, and it's not in St Albans, it's in Welwyn Garden.
TheCorniestLemur AMAZING
Not mentioning Martin Freeman.
It sounds funny when an American says 'Pub'.
"Puhb"
Wait pub isnt an american term? We have a resturant down the street called the pub😂
Thats false advertising
I thought everyone uses that term.
Shammo Hamid They do. It’s just he thinks it’s funny the way we pronounce it.
So I'm not the only one that heard it. 😂😂
(SPOILERS)
My favorite gag is when Gary calls the group "5 Musketeers" and says the original story should have 5 musketeers so that 2 could die and still have 3 musketeers left, and then later in the movie the exact thing happens lol
i am a hot fuzz kind of guy :D
Mysterious Maximus think i have to agree, but the others are good as well
lunarsuperstar Depends on my mood, but Hot Fuzz it is!
Fascist
Hot Fuzz is the best of the trilogy followed by Shaun of the Dead which was genre breaking IMO. It really put comedy horror on the map
Nathan Bux yes IMO = in my opinion. Every comment is an OPINION anyway but nevertheless lol
I exist. That´s not an opinion.
I know you said imo but you're wrong "scream" is the movie to truly put comedy horror on the map
booboi screwthis wrong again, evil dead 2 put comedy horror on the map
Fuzz Films actually we were both wrong. Young Frankenstein put comedy horror on the map
British comedy movies > American comedy movies
no
just no
Pujashree Sharma dude. american pie and waynes world vs cornetto trilogy?
Pujashree Sharma yeah they were both epic. but cornettos are 100x better
no. This isn't an atypical British comedy movie. It's just an Edgar Wright movie. His style is too unique to call it a British comedy. As for American comedy movies, there are good ones. The Big Lebowski, Superbad, etc. are pretty good. The same thing goes for Big Lebowski. The Coens are too unique to call that one American.
awesome420ication true
"Nothing suggested in the last 3 minutes has been better than 'smashy-smashy egg-men'." I had to pause the movie at that line for like 5 minutes to stop laughing
Haha yeah me too
HOT FUZZ...I´ve watched it 43 times in 7 years of knowing it. By far my absolute favourite movie of all time.
Love both of them, but to me, Hot Fuzz is miles ahead of Shaun Of The Dead.
hot fuzz is the best of the three.
No it isn't Shaun of the Dead is better
Watching Hot Fuzz opened up my mind that good movies isn't all about the script or the story. What matters most is the greatness of the director. Loved how he made mundane activities interesting to watch. Too bad Phillipine cinema still produce shit ton of movies.
@@creedospeedo8713 sorry mate, shaun of the dead is factually the weakest
Hot Fuzz, I´ve seen it a million times.
And I thought I was the only one. I can literally talk along with the characters with every line of dialog. I too have seen it a crap ton. Shaun was brilliant and worlds end was the most fun to watch arguably but Hot Fuzz had the best directing and best comedy. In my opinion.
Hot Fuzz has one of the most brilliantly written scripts ever. Every joke comes full circle, not a single line is wasted and attentive viewers who pay attention to all of the lines and little details get the biggest payoffs. I hope Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg consider making another film together, they can do no wrong.
Hot Fuzz has an 121 minute runtime, which means if you'd watched it a million times since release, you'd have spent 2,016,666 hours (and 40 minutes) watching it., or 84,027.77 days.
The film came out on the 14th February 2007, this comment was posted sometime during 2014. For the sake of convenience I'll assume it was posted on the 1st of January 2014, as this is generous in your favour.
Between these two dates, 2513 days can be placed, meaning that, disregarding sleep and any time spent not watching Hot Fuzz, your comment is exaggerating by a factor of 33.4.
You, sir, are a liar.

I enjoyed Hot Fuzz more than Shaun.
Embry Johnson same
Embry Johnson the greater good
Nope disagree Shaun of the Dead is a great film
@@creedospeedo8713 No one said it wasn't
Both are absolutely perfect and i enjoyed hot fuzz more
Hot Fuzz is by far my favourite. especially since it was filmed in the town I grew up in.
Fun Fact, Wells is a pretty small town but is technically classified as a city because it has its own cathedral.
i had no idea thanks for letting me know!
I go there every year it’s a nice little ‘city’

This movie is so amazing, from the acting to the comedy to the directing and so on, but my absolute favorite thing has to be how well Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg were able to balance the comedy with the serious emotion. This is something they've always been good at, but they KILL it here. Not everyone can go from "I just punched my wedding ring out of a robot's tummy!" to "It's all I've got!" like they do. Such a good movie.
1. Hot Fuzz
2. The World's End
3. Shaun of the Dead
All Amazing.
Agreed
Hot Fuzz has been one of my very favorite movies for years.
What I really liked about the worlds end was that Simon Pegg was not the straight man allowing frost to show his acting ability
1: Hot Fuzz 5/5
2: Shaun of the Dead 4.5/5
3: The World's End 4/5
All amazing.
Hot Fuzz was my favorite of the trilogy
World's end is far better than This is the end.
agreed
Amen
"this is the end was very adult and raunchy", This feels like you are trolling me ;)
For the comedy part, I am far more likely to laugh at British humor than at American humor.
Well, it is all about opinion.
I was disappointed with World's End. No where near as good as Hot Fuzz and Shaun.
I hated This is the End - I didn't quite stay to the end of the movie and wished I'd left when Emma Watson did as I think she had the right idea. Just a bunch of comedy actors massaging each other's egos. Someone should remind them that we pay to see movies. They get paid rather well. We expect them to work on making a comedy funny.
1.hot fuzz(10/10)
2.the world's end(10/10)
3.shaun of the dead(9/10)
Honestly, this is one of my favourite trilogies
What about Paul I consider it a quadrilogy
ThatMovieGuy It doesn't have the same director nor the same cast aside from simon pegg and nick frost.It's also not set in England or UK(not sure) but the other ones are.
Yea you make a good point never mind then
+awsome420ication
Little update SOTD is 10 now. After multiple viewings, it seems to get better each and everytime. Almost every line of dialogue is a call-back joke and has a lot of punch to it. But you won't get them the 1st time. This is now my favourite trilogy after LOTR.
I loved the fight choreography in World's End. It was fast but not unrealistically fast. The main thing that I loved was that they guy that designed those fight scenes made it to where everybody in that movie could do something realistically according to each actor's abilities. Each guy showed a natural ability for each thing.
I was really impressed with what they provided in each fight scene.
Movie also had a great layer of depth to it with Gary King. It's depiction of alcoholism and addiction in general is incredibly accurate and makes Pegg's speech such a gut punch.
For me Hot Fuzz is the best
my least favourite is Shaun Of The Dead but it still a great movie.
I agree, Hot Fuzz was the best of the three and I put it down to the brilliant script. A friend of mine loved Shaun of the Dead but I'm not really into Zombie movies so maybe I couldn't appreciate it as much as him.
Shaun of the Dead is the best in the trilogy
I am so happy to hear this Chris, got a tear in my eye when the A+ appeared :')
"Let's boo-boo!"
“Some of it was blended together with clever editing” I saw that tiny edit you made there
BEST F*CKING MOVIE OF 2013!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember watching this movie for the first time not knowing what it was about, i didn’t watch the trailer. I honestly thought it was just a normal comedy move but no, it was so shocking. It was so unexpected and that’s what I loved about it. The best movie I’ve ever watched.
Hot Fuzz. Freaking love it!
This movie was great! One of my best memories was going to see it at our local one screen movie theater, and upon arriving finding out that EDGAR FREAKING WRIGHT was there to do a Q&A after the show. It was totally unexpected and amazing! As a fan of basically everything Wright has done this movie is a must see, he is a genuinely hilarious person and his work always makes me laugh.
All three were fantastic
"its pointless arguing with you". This is a really good movie, also those small touches like "Welcome" and "Join us" signs in the Worlds' end bar, was really cool. I also hope you notcied that when he picked them up from the train station and he came really late, 4 o'clock, the church bells rang and they gave 1 normal-shot for everyone, at the beat of the church bell. That was such a neat detail. All-in-all a great film
Dude...I've seen the film at least 7 times and I thought I've got every little detail by now, but I didn't realize that was the 4 o'clock bell :D Awesome.
i did notice that. Fantastic.
One of the best visual directors alive in my opinion
I'm just so glad to hear movie nerds talk about the Cornetto trilogy. Around the time The World's End came out, I kept going up to people and being all "It's the end of the trilogy!" and getting confused stares in return. I annoyed a lot of people with my lecturing that year. Love your channel! Team Hot Fuzz!!
I never knew this movie existed, I had seen both Shawn of the Dead and Hot Fuzz and I loved them. SO when I saw they had another movie I geeked out. So I saw it and it was hilarious, Simon Pegg acted amazingly awesome, it has become one of my favorite anti heroes performances ever, not from comedy but ever. Also having extremely talented and lovable actors like Martin Freeman it just gave so much more to the movie. I just remember the scene, **Spoiler Alert** (where they are in the ceiling and Gary jumps to the ceiling of the car) I was drinking beer and I just blew it out of my nose.
Amen to that part about having to pay attention. I showed this movie to my friends but they're the kind of people who have their phones out half of the time and then have me explain things every two minutes.
If you follow Chris' channel carefully, you'll infer that Edgar Wright has never directed a non-A+ movie. Same goes for me too.
The whole Cornetto Trilogy is amazing. Even though my favorite performances from Pegg and Frost were in The World's End, I think Hot Fuzz was the best overall movie in the trilogy. Still, they're all 10/10 must watch films.
You should do reviews of Hot Fuzz and Shaun of The Dead
i might be the only one but its not as good as shaun of the dead and hot fuzz... i honestly thought it was a let down.
Am I the only one who thinks the ending is a bit ridiculous
+Ami Slifkin ye it doesn't fit the movie at all...
+Ami Slifkin It's like they had it up until the ending but didn't know how to actually end it so they just said fuck it.
***** It's not because it didn't work out happy, but because it ended so random and the ending was totally disconnected frm the rest of the movie.
just like every damn Edgar Wright movie EVARRR
+Ami Slifkin I loved it because of how ridiculous and funny it was
I'm a bit late to the game, but I just saw this tonight for the first time. Simon Pegg was freaking awesome. I enjoyed the film overall, but Hot Fuzz is my favourite, out of all three of them. The two cops who keep giving Simon Pegg's character a hard time in Hot Fuzz, had me in stitches. They had a great cast, and Timothy Dalton was perfect.

U have no taste
Jk
For me it's:
3:Shaun of the dead(I think it's a good movie, just overrated)
2:the worlds end
1.hot fuzz
na worlds end is way too overrated and so is hot fuzz but hot fuzz deserves it
I saw The World's End along with Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz at the special trilogy viewings on the British release night. Such an atmospheric time. Every time someone said the F word everyone in the theatre clapped. Hands down the best film this year. Makes me proud to be British! ;)
In terms of what I like best it has to be The World's End, Shaun of the Dead and then Hot Fuzz.
Glad you liked it Chris! Keep up the good work!
Shaun of the dead is much better imo.
I honestly could never decide between Hot Fuzz and Shaun Of The Dead. They're probably my favorite comedies of all time. And after this review, I can truthfully say that I am DYING to see this as soon as possible. Great review as always, Chris!
I am so sorry to say this Chris and I hate the fact I'm even saying this but I HATED The World's End... The movie starts off enjoyable and then it gets boring and then it gets enjoyable and pretty badass to watch for a while but then it gets messy and the ending was stupid as hell. That's just my opinion but I'm so bummed that I hated the film. There are heartwarming moments with badass action sequences along good performances and I do admire the writing because at least it has effort compared to some of the shit I've seen in 2013. I would sadly give the film a D+ though :/
It's a deceivingly clever movie. Google some of the easter eggs and give it a re-watch.
I seriously cannot re-watch The World's End, one time is enough for me. I just wasn't meant to love it like a lot of people. I'm glad to know you enjoyed the film though :)
The thing I love the most about Chris Stuckan's movie reviews are that not only is he completely honest & critical, but he's also laid back & isn't so uptight about every movie & because of that I truly respect his opinions & reviews... And that my friends is the exact reason as to why I'm DEFINITELY gonna watch this movie!!
I watched this movie yesterday and I thought it was funny as hell.
The two towns they filmed this in, one was my hometown the other a town I've been living at for 4 years. Everyday I go past all the pubs and other locations. It's so awesome
This movie was really disappointing for me. I loved the first half, this might even be the funniest movie in the trilogy, it was great I was completely on board.
However the second half started to lose me a bit and it got kind of confusing. I wasn't sure what the hell was going on, and then the ending happened and I really hated it.
The ending was really pretentious and artsy. It didn't serve the characters or anything, it was a really hamfisted message that took me out of the movie and dragged down my whole opinion of it.
what the fuck were you smoking to think the ending was "artsy"
Swaggidy Swaggins There were a lot of metaphors in the film for growing up and how the adult world can be nothing more than a brainwashed wasteland. Gary King's speech at the end of "wanting to be free" was the same thing he said to his teacher during the flashback to his last day of school. All three of the Cornetto films have metaphors and social commentary sprinkled throughout. I guess some people consider that artsy. Personally I loved it.
Waleed Khan The cornetto trilogy is not artsy. It's cleverly written satirical comedy. If your favourite director is Michael Bay you would probably think this is artsy.
Swaggidy Swaggins I've seen some artsy films so I can confirm that this is low on the artsy scale. Brilliant writing though.
Waleed Khan Basically anything that has a message that pertains to something unrelated to the film is what I call "Artsy."
Unless it's delegated to subtext, anything else feels extremely forced, and for a lighthearted comedy film to suddenly diverge into full on message movie at the last few minutes felt incredibly awkward.
One of the best trilogies ever made. Edgar Wright knows how to make a kick ass movie. Shaun of the Dead is my favorite zombie movie, Hot Fuzz is my second favorite cop movie (behind Training Day), and The World's End is one of my favorite sci-fi movies. I love all of them!
Theres another movie by these guys too..Paul. so funny. One of my fav. Alien movies and comedy!
Paul wasn't directed by Edgar Wright
that's what I love about the Cornetto triology. I don't have a favourite. Shaun of the dead is the funniest, Hot Fuzz has the best story and This is the End is the most entertaining of those 3. I don't have a favourite because each one of them is different, but also the same, but different (if that makes any sense). So I don't even want to pick a favourite which is something special to me, because when it comes to franchises I always wanna know for myself which one I like the most. But with these movies, I don't care. I love them all equally
Bet Americans don't get most of the jokes ;) they love Pegg movies, rightfully so. Think Shaun of the Dead is the best though, fucking genius spin on zombie films.
I'm American and I got pretty much all the jokes. Great writing carries over through different countries.
Well when an American like me watches BBC long enough...
How did I miss this one?!
Just ordered it on blu ray
First of all, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are my favorite comedy movies and two of my favorite movies ever. But this film was a huge disappointment. Such an amazing cast and the tight, clever writing and direction you come to expect from these films, but you just didn't feel connected to the characters, and the jokes just weren't as funny. Nick Frost was boring, Simon Pegg was depressing and despicable. These movies always have heaps of twists and turns and ramp up several times. This just sauntered along drearily and the ending was really, really bad. If you're a huge fan of the series like I am, you're going to see this regardless of what anyone says. Just don't get your hopes up. Unless you find aging alcoholics with suicidal depression funny.
***** I do agree. I really liked this one
"some of it was blended together with clever editing," as he edits it together.
Vintage Chris Stuckmann
The worlds end is a real pub
where at? :D
karl henriksson Camden Town
The pub in the film is The Wilbury, Letchworh but it was called "The Gardeners Arms" at the time after being called The WIlbury again before that. It's recently been painted dark grey and looks horrible.
Khloe Ownsworth The King's head is a pub in Galway
You should watch Spaced! It was the first major break through in the UK for them. We had Big train before but with Edgar Wright directing Spaced 1 and 2 it was the first real addiction for me.
I think the worlds end was weaker then the other ones
+waffleXD1 True on that but it definitely wasnt badly made like the others. Also its the shortest in the Cornetto trilogy so it might lacking in content.
+waffleXD1 Yeah it was a bit weaker, but its still a great movie.
Everyone keeps saying that, I feel like I'm the only one who likes this one best
agree...
+attckonutube you're not, the worlds end is better imo, this is the funniest film I have ever seen in my life
I have honestly never before been so pleased by a review of any kind, be it movies, books or games.
Weird. Why am I the only one that think it sucked and was incredibly boring?
Guess I didn't look into it well enough.
I guess it just wasn't your humor
Mmmchutney I founded really boring too. I really don't know what people find in it
Watch it with your full attention
I "sold" it to my best friend saying "it's not as out there as Shawn and Hot Fuzz, but it's so well written you'll love it". After he watched it he called the twist "best movie twist ever". We're both Hot Fuzz kinda guys but The World's end is also an incredible movie.
Sean of the Dead 10/10
Hot Fuzz 10/10
Worlds End 6/10 (a complete mess)
Scottish Man Merica! ...What?
Scottish Man Merica! Agreed
How do people talk about these three movies WITHOUT mentioning Spaced. That was seriously a television masterpiece.
So this is better than Interstellar, huh?
....the fuck does Interstellar have to do with this
Chris' rating.
***** Ratings have no relevance to which Film he prefers. Look at his Best of 2015 Video
Okay so this is more enjoyable than Interstellar, huh?
***** Sure it is, this film is funny as hell, Interstellar is Emotional, Gripping and filled with Hardship. The Worlds End can be described as "More Enjoyable"
Watch his Best of 2015 Video
Hot Fuzz is my all-time favorite movie. My dad drove me 4.5 hours to see this (wow I'm spoilt) and loved every second of it, came damn close to Hot Fuzz too.
A+.........So over rated. It was a crap movie and the aliens made it even worse. It might have been ok without the Aliens but how could you compare this movie to some of your other A+ movies.
Overrated? I see a lot of mix reviews with this movie, and I personally thought it was amazing, not as good as hot fuzz but better than Shawn of the dead
picklejoedeanbob beautifully said.
Michael Ward your supposed to judge every movie on its own merits and for what it is it's fucking great
Worlds end is a top class film really mixes a serious nature with a comedy side, it shows friendship, loyalty and friends reuniting. It is topped by the unbreakable bond of Gary and Andy. And is actually quite upsetting when Andy talks about never seeing Gary again
This movie has the most entertaining character exposition I have ever seen in a film. I was born in the 90´s, so those little references at the beginning made me go back in time. Even though Gary king was a fuck up, he was still boss. I only wish he would´ve finished the last pint. Simon delivered every line perfectly and i really felt bad for his character. That poor demented soul.
Chris I love you, I adore this movie and I am so glad that Americans love these British movies so much ( I am British ) , they are such loved movies over here it honestly makes me so proud
Even surprises like Rosamond Pike (whom I didn't recognize until I saw her name in the credits) and Pierce Brosnan really did great in their roles. Two actors that haven't acted together since 2002's Die Another Day. Of course they really didn't have much interaction together but they still did well respectively, and finding a place for Bill Nighy (which I won't say because that will spoil much) was a great, welcomed tough.
If you're a fan of the Pegg Frost Wright combo I strongly recommend watching seasons one and two of Spaced, you can actually see a lot of references to it in the Three Flavours Cornetto!
I was so worried too because I saw how not every critic liked it (it was hard for me to believe). Then again, Chris did have Scott Pilgrim vs. the World among his MOST FAVORITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME PLAYLIST, and that was also done by Edgar Wright. In the end, it was just AWESOME! xD
When they are walking down the street with all the people looking at them has always given me chills. Hell, I got chills typing this.
I loved The World's End. Such a cool film with amazing fight scenes! Those really surprised me.
I prefer Hot Fuzz over Shaun of the Dead, although both are great.
Shaun of the dead is my favorite movie of all time. So I can't wait to see it
Hot Fuzz is the best offering of the Cornetto trilogy in my opinion. Shaun of the Dead gave us glimpses of the biting satire Edgar Wright was capable of, and he seemed to have perfected his comedic finesse with Hot Fuzz. The jokes NEVER stopped coming, and they were ALWAYS hilarious. It blended so many different types of comedy- in the visuals, the dialogue, the editing, the sound design; subtle, blatant, clever, juvenile, wit, slapstick, bit gags, and the FUCKING REVEAL. The World's End, as much as I admire it in its own way, sacrificed a bit of its grace for its ambition. Still, I certainly think it's the rawest out of the three.
so so glad to hear that this movie turned out as good as the other two films in the "trilogy". I was worried it might slump and strive to be like the others but never reach that level. can NOT wait to go see this, my fiancé and I are so pumped to head out to the theatre. we're saving for a wedding and have been staying in a lot lately, but exceptions have to be made! The Wolverine was one such exception and this will have to be another.
I love all three Cornetto films so much that I can't choose one over the other. They are all tied at number three on my all-time favorite films list.
Hi Chris I love Shaun Of The Dead I especially like the moment when Nick Frost's character is on the phone as the zombies approached them BRILLIANT. Have you seen 'The All Together 'its a low budget film which stars Martin Freeman and Danny Dyer, brilliant film and script too
You know at the beginning I was like "Chris don't you dare…" and then he started praising the movie and I was like "yes… YES YES YES!!!!! I LOVE YOU CHRIS!!!!"
Personally I didn't find the movie that funny but I still loved it, mostly because of the story and how it looked. It wasn't great but it wasn't terrible.
For those who don't know, this movies title is named after a pub in Camden London
Yes that s the genius of this film. We were so into the drama, we weren't even prepared for the alien bit - which made it even better!
Love this entire trilogy but Hot Fuzz seems to be the unanimous favourite, I agree completely.
I actually started with The World's End (and obviously completely oblivious to the trilogy) and I just binge watched Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz, today. They're among my favorite movies though I have to admit The World's End tops the rest for me, probably due to the bar/walk scene with The Doors playing.
I think I love This Is The End and The World's End equally. Because they are both very different comedies with very different styles and not to mention the filmmakers are based in Hollywood and England so they couldn't be farther apart. Culturally it's different. The thing is I like movies to be 100% perfect like Taxi Driver or A Clockwork Orange, and if it's not I still enjoy it and think about what they could have done differently in the writing to make it better. Its kind of a game I play with myself and its sort of practice for when I write my own scripts. This Is the End had more room for imrovement, but it had a superior climax that saved it. While The World's End's climax is literally exposition and a relapsed alcoholic talking to an alien computer... again.... its a man talking to a computer about the galaxy and all this mumbo jumbo plot shit..
I get the spirit of humanity theme, but I seriously think the way it was executed was poorly done and it was my only problem with the movie. Aside from that I loved it to fucking bits. Especially the begining, just because its so relatable for any guy who felt like he was on top of the world at the end of high school and when on a whole bunch of crazy adventures. It's just such an amazing time in any person's life and I wish that it focussed more on that aspect and how Gary was going to be forced to wake up by his friends that think he's pathetic.
I must say. It's impressive how I have heard all combinations of top lists about the Cornetto-Triology possible. Just goes to show how great all these movies are.
My list:
1. Shaun of the Dead
2. The World's End
3. Hot Fuzz
All great movies. I adore them all
I'm really glad that you liked it this much, because the first time I saw it I really enjoyed it, and not many people agreed with me when I said I thought it was good. Looking back now I do have a few personal issues, like Gary doesn't even drink his last pint! And *spoiler for anyone reading who hasn't seen it* it kind of ends bit weirdly, it's almost got it spot on, because it's hilarious when the three characters are shouting at the machine thing at the end, but then after all it's worked up to it suddenly just ends and decides to explodes because 'it's pointless arguing with Gary King' and I thought they could have done something slightly better than that but that's just a personal opinion. Apart from them things I love this film and could watch it over and over.
i preferred Shaun of the Dead over Hot Fuzz and I loved the more subtle and nuanced direction this movie took with its older and wiser characters. Work of Art!
I'm so relieved that the movie seems to be great! Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead are two of my all time comedies to go to. Glad the cornetto trilogy got a worthy finale!
