SOUND OFF

1

Saw it last night as part of the trilogy (which was awesome). And I know I liked it more than Hot Fuzz, and had I not seen Shaun first all those years ago I may like it more than Shaun. I liked Gary as a character, I liked that there was real emotion in this film, having sci fi elements gave it extra points. I have read that a lot of people felt it had pacing issues, but I did not find this to be the case. I want to re watch it already.

seriously, this was excellent, in particular a cracking script from Pegg and Wright that motored along at a great pace. the sci-fi element was fun and born of a true love of the genre, and the fight sequences were surprisingly good. plus the Pierce Brosnan cameo was entertaining. i liked Pegg and Frost initially playing slightly against type, Pegg as someone without many redeeming features, Frost as someone more distant than usual, and @jacobcrim:disqus is right, there was some heft to the emotion, too. almost everyone got some good lines and the ensemble playing was fun. the very end scenes lost their way a bit, but i'd already laughed too much by then to be too bothered. a fine end to a fine 'trilogy' i know i'll re-watch again and again, hopefully brought out in a Cornetto shaped box set.

I thought it was great, going to have to watch it a few more times to absorb all the details, not sure if I like it more than Hot Fuzz or not.

It was way better than I thought it was going to be. The ending was a bit fucked up in my opinion but made sense since it was kinda hard to take the movie seriously. I loved Pegg and Frost. These guys are bloody amazing together on screen. I hope they keep making movies together. Not sure you can say Shawn of the Dead or Hot Fuzz was better than this one. They are all different and great in their own way. All I know is Pegg can make me laugh no matter what he plays on screen. It needs another watch for sure. The fight scenes where awesome. The love the Cornetto reference in the movie. 🙂 Overall a good laugh.

Favourite of the three! Frost was outstanding, especially once his character was drunk; Pegg was excellent as Gary - hilarious and profoundly touching as we learnt more about him. Paddy Considine was excellent (when isn't he?) and Martin Freeman was good too. But the real gem of this film for me was Eddie Marsan as Pete. I've followed his career since he was on "Game On" back in the 90's (Episode: "Heavy Bondage & Custard Creams" - full ep is on YouTube) and he's excellent when given the freedom to flourish. Simply hilarious! Edgar Wright's direction has certainly move along brilliantly. The first fight scene was terrifically put together; every scene is imbued with a gloriously consistent sense of style and humour and I really, really can't wait to see Ant-Man. The ending could perhaps have had a bit more time (particularly the very last scene) but despite that rather minor flaw, I loved this way more than Hot Fuzz and just a smidgen more than Shaun of the Dead. Great film, great trilogy - they simply HAVE to make another! (In the style of Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy "Increasingly Inaccurate Trilogy Of Six") -- ps Loved all the cameos too. I don't think I'll ever not scream out TYRES! when Michael Smiley appears on the screen!

I must say, I didn't expect it to take sucha a dark turn there at the end. I found it quite refreshing, and to be honest, I was even slightly worried for their collective wellbeing to see that the entire thing went so dismally bleak. Another thing I have to mention, I waited the WHOLE DAMN MOVIE to see that ice cream wrapper, and when it showed up, the entire theater erupted, more than they did at the midnight showing of the Avengers. It was the most amazing experience of my life.

To be honest, I was a bit disappointed. It started out good and then just kinda ok. Didn't care for the "dark" turn, this was a comedy right? I came out of the theater really liking it..and then the new wore off.
