Reviews

Pjtaylor-96-138044 The third part to Edgar Wright's 'Cornetto Trilogy' is perhaps the most underrated, as 'The World's End (2013)' is a very well written and insanely funny film that works as both a drama between friends and an alien-invasion thriller. It might just be the funniest of the three, which are all easily some of the funniest films I've ever seen. Its otherworldly premise sneaks up on you, if you haven't seen the marketing, as does its incredibly deep and surprisingly sad core character arc. The writing here is incredible, not just from a comedy stand-point but from a dramatic - and kind of tragic - one, too. The feature also has some fantastic action sequences that rival the best of recent years. Overall, it is now one of my favourite films of all time, capping off the 'trilogy' as one of the best in existence. 9/10

MichaelMRamey I really couldn't decide which film I liked more, Hot Fuzz or this one, so I had to give them the same rating. They're in the Cornetto trilogy but they couldn't be any more different. This really is the most imaginative film of the three while it battles with growing up and not living in the past. Not to mention this is an amazing cast; arguably the best cast of the three films. It's a film that goes off the rails, but not in a bad way, but a carefully designed one. It's also where I first fell in love with Rosamund Pike.

sleijeri Seen many of the Pegg and Frost movies and most of them have been funny, but this just didn't deliver. The movie has a good idea for a story, but somehow I just didn't see how this would have fit in to that.The "blanks" was a good surprise for the movie and how the movie reveled it was surely nice! I liked it, because I did't read anything about this film (obviously to avoid spoilers) before I watched this. So from that side, the movie had a nice surprise to it.

Gavin Purtell I find it very odd that identical film concepts always seem to appear within a few months of each other, even if they were conceived totally in isolation - 'Olympus Has Fallen'/'White House Down', 'Deep Impact'/'Armageddon', 'This Is The End'/'The World's End'. In this case, although I liked 'This Is The End', I enjoyed 'The World's End' much more. It is faster paced, has more laugh-out-loud moments, a better soundtrack and a more satisfying conclusion.Yes, it's the end of the "Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy", but hopefully only the middle of Wright/Frost/Pegg's working career together, since 'Spaced', 'Shaun of the Dead' & 'Hot Fuzz' have all been great. This film takes plenty of time to establish the characters and give them each a backstory. Once they eventually discover the "blanks", they're a quarter of the way through the pub crawl - "The Golden Mile". Best quote - Pegg to Frost: "A man of your legendary prowess drinking rain! It's like a lion eating humus!"From there on, it's a battle - literally, with the Pierce Brosnan-led "blanks" - and verbally between the "five musketeers", as Pegg tries to get them to all twelve pubs, despite their dire circumstances. There are plenty of throwbacks to 'Shaun of the Dead' and 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers', and the action really ramps up in the last 30min. The best bit is probably Bill Nighy at the end, with Pegg & Frost arguing with him and using the refrain of "Because I'm free, to do what I want, to be what I want, any old time. And I'm free, to be who I choose, to get my booze, any old time" which has been recurring since the start of the film (from the Soup Dragons' 1990 cover, not the Rolling Stones' 1965 original).
