World'S End

As usual, Edward Wright, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, and the others deliver and do not disappoint. Totally my kind of film, to say the least. I do admit to being a huge fan of this team, but this final chapter of "The Cornetto Trilogy" is funny, exciting, and thought provoking. It's a must see. Masterful brilliance at it's best!

This often overlooked third film in Edgar Wright’s Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy is filled with solid action and plenty of humor to boot. This time, series stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost face off evil aliens in this satire of the Body Snatcher films. Yes, “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz” are better films, but this movie is still pretty amazing in its own right. Check it out if you haven’t yet and revisit it if you haven’t seen it in awhile. I don’t think that you’ll be disappointed.

Edgar Wright is a great director. This might be his worst film, but that says more about the quality of the director than how good this film is. Wright is a genius visual story teller. It's not as good as Scott Pilgrim, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, or his real gem Baby Driver, but if you love those film this one is a good watch.

I enjoy the Simon Pegg movies from Shawn of the Dead to Hot Fuzz. World's End is another movie that he wrote and acts in. As always there is always a surprise in the plot, which I won't give up for those who haven't viewed it. If you enjoy British humor you will enjoy this movie!

I saw this in theaters, bought this Blu-ray years later to get a free pass to another movie... couldn't remember exactly what this was about, so I watched the trailer for "World's End" Yeah, it's a good movie, definitely going to watch it again...

I love Nick Frost and Simon Pegg as actors! Shaun of the Dead is still one of my favorite comedies. And this one is hilarious too. I've been trying to find it at Best Buy for the longest time, and finally did and am thrilled to add it to my collection

It was pretty funny. It's very clever. I don't even remember this movie being in the theater all those years ago but I found this in the $6 bin and struck gold! If you like the other Simon Pegg movies then you have to watch this one!

This hilarious British comedy features the same folks who brought us “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz” so get ready for a good time. This time out, 5 old friends decide to return to their small home town best known for having the world’s first roundabout and The Golden Mile. The later features a series of 12 pubs concluding at The World’s End. Twenty years earlier the boys only made it half way before youthful drinking incapacitated them. Four of the five have moved on, but Gary King (Simon Pegg) aka “The King” (how original) hasn’t. He still wears the same tee-shirt over the same long trench coat that he did we he was 20. He still drives the same car (The Beast), is still irresponsible and well, you get the picture. He decides it would be a good idea to go back home and start over and this time complete their original goal of 1 pint of beer (minimum) at each of the 12 pubs. The other 4, Andy (Nick Frost), Oliver (Martin Freeman), Steven (Paddy Considine), and Peter (Eddie Marsan), reluctantly give in and off they go. Along the way, we get plenty of in-the-car-bickering mostly between the alcoholic Gary and the now teetotaler Andy. Directed and co-written (with Pegg) by Edgar Wright, we get just the right amount of obnoxiousness from Gary without wanting to strangle him. In other words, he’s funny. Now all of these would seem a bit much after a while as the guys get progressively drunk, but things get a bit weird. At first Gary notices that the bartenders don’t recognize him. Others seem to be the same age as they were when he left. Rosamund Pike is introduced midway as the Oliver’s sister and former love crush of Steven and Gary. It’s pretty much a thankless role. But she being sober, notices the same aloofness of the locals. If you’ve seen the trailers, you know that the town has been overrun by some strangers who ooze blue blood and emit bright light from their eyes and mouth. Androids to be sure, but the boys just call them robots. In fact, in one of the funnier scenes, the guys sit around the table, pints in hand, and try to come up a name for the robots. Unable to reach a consensus they just call them the “blanks.” Got to love it. As the quintet continue their mission, they have to avoid the “blanks” who want the guys to adapt rather than fight. But the guys are more concerned about getting to The World’s End. For Gary, it is clearly his mission in life. The final act is a doozy with some surprisingly funny and well-staged fight scenes and some hilarious byplay between Gary and a character played by Bill Nighy.
