Colonel Whitey posted:Even though Hot Fuzz is still my favorite I disagree with this, like, a lot. SP and TWE might not have the same joke density or whatever but there's a much more interesting, character-driven story underlying both films than there is in Hot Fuzz. I think a valid argument could be made that they're better overall movies. The World's End was significantly worse than Shaun or Hot Fuzz. Attempting to tackle themes like becoming an adult and alcoholism didn't really made the story any deeper or more interesting, but it did make it less funny and slower paced. I've rewatched the first 2 tons of times, and I don't think I'll ever have a desire to see TWE ever again after the one time in theater.

Saw it. In my opinion it was good, but not great (actually as the above poster said, "liking, but not loving it" describes what I felt well). I'd put it behind Shaun, Hot Fuzz, and Scott Pilgrim, but it's still a solid movie. Not sure I'd ever have a desire to rewatch it like I do those other 3. I felt like the narrative didn't really go anywhere interesting, and the climax fizzled.John Hamm's character became annoying rather than actually threatening by the end, and the final fight/chase in the garage was a huge let down compared to earlier chases, and sort of wasted the Queen song. Also Kevin's Spacey's character arc seemed strange and out of the blue to me. I honestly just had a hard time feeling invested in Baby or Deborah, although Baby's relationship with his step-father was great, and by far the most genuine thing in the movie character wise. That said some of the earlier chase/fight scenes were fantastic, especially the shootout synced up the music. It was also nice seeing Atlanta featured so prominently, since I live here.
