Re: The World's End
Wow. It's had positive reviews. Did you like Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz?
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.
Re: The World's End
I'm a big fan of Shaun and Hot Fuzz.
This one piled on melodrama that didn't work and forgot to be funny.

Agreed. They pretty much forgot that it was supposed to be funny.milosz wrote:Fucking sucked. First half dull, third quarter amusing at moments, end was stupid.
Shaun of the Dead was brilliant. Hot Fuzz, (after a second viewing last week) was pretty good but too long. World's End was bloated, preachy and just not funny. Clearly no one was willing to tell these guys the emporer has no clothes.
Bummer.
PS I took my teenage kid and a bunch of his buddies. They laughed out loud once or twice (calling someone a cunt is a guaranteed laugh for a 15 year old), but were otherwise dead quiet the whole way through.

Re: The World's End
You guys are full of shit, this movie is awesome. Hilarious, honest & warm in some places: terrific. The best of the three: much better than Shaun or Hot Fuzz.
My wife disagrees, she says that Shaun is by far the best. I dunno: I don't really like zombies, maybe that's coloring my perception of Shaun. But this is great.
Great soundtrack, too.

Re: The World's End
My wife wanted to go to the movies last night and this was the only thing that we could watch together. I went to Rotten Tomatoes and it had an 89% so I decided to ignore the IGx reviews and went anyway.
I thought it was charming, well shot, had a good premise, and was boring as hell. My wife and the 6 other people in the theater chuckled a few times and that was that. I won't say that Rosamund Pike made it worth watching but she made it more bearable.
