The World's End hit cinema's July 19th. |
I have to say I was very excited to watch this film as I am a huge fan of Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz, as both have been a large hit with critics. With a Rotton Tomatoes rating of 90% at the time, I was raring to go with my Tango Ice Blast and Crunchie.
The film is basically about five friends coming back together to relive their childhood to do a pub marathon, in which they failed to complete when they had finished school. They come back to their Hometown and realise in the fourth pub that Newton Haven isn't the same... not going to spoil it for you!
I thought the first half of the movie was extremely funny with extremely British humour. Nick Frost and Simon Pegg yet again have a loveable on-screen relationship. I liked the references to the other films in the trilogy - it's not complete without Simon Pegg jumping over a fence and failing, a quick shot montage and of course, a cornetto!
In each pub, something happens that relates slightly to the title of the pub - one of which is called Two Headed Dog and The World's End - I'll let you do the guessing. The first three quarters of the film shares the same light heartedness that Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz does, however I found the last quarter of the film to be a tad serious and not actually that funny...
I don't know why, but I came back from the cinema slightly disappointed that the film wasn't actually as good as the first two - yet I still enjoyed. I felt that the storyline could perhaps be more explained and developed. Other than that me and my boyfriend definitely enjoyed it and if there is a special box set containing all three films - I will be buying it. X
