Review of The World's End (2013) by Sgt. C — 29 Jan 2015

(75%).

Released nearly 10 years after the instant classic "Shaun of the dead" the trio (Wright, Pegg and Frost) show no sign of losing their way with this very enjoyable, funny, imaginative comedy hit. This is perhaps as strong as their break out movie; although I don't think it comes close to being a better, funnier film. The characters are finely crafted and well observed with plenty of heart in there along side the sharp writing and strong comic performances. But on a down side the ending just isn't as good as the rest of the film, as it just goes a little too far within in its already stretched reality. They clearly have a lot more money to play with now than they did before, and I just hope that the big money factor does not get in the way of good comedy in their next film together.
