In my experience, The World's End is the best of the cornetto trilogy. This seems to be a rather controversial view. Most people have the odd idea that this movie is in fact superior. Those people are wrong.
That being said, Hot Fuzz is by no means a bad movie. It's actually excellent. A lot of the dialogue is snappy and funny. The story is one of the most intriguing I have seen in a long time. Over my time on Earth, I have realised that this is one of the most heavily referenced things of all time. Countless times I have heard people say, "oh like in Hot Fuzz". The movie is also incredibly directed. The movie could even be said to be stylised with how some of the transitions are shot.
The big problem I have with this movie is that it claims to be a comedy but unveils itself as primarily an action movie. Everything says to you it should be a comedy. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's presence says comedy. However every time I watch or even think about the movie, I remember the action scenes and the crazy plot. I never find myself remembering the jokes because a lot of them that memorable. Other than that... no complaints.
Hot Fuzz is a fast-paced and gory movie that often makes you laugh but is far more memorable for its plot and bloody injuries. It is certainly a fun watch especially if you want to understand everyone's constant references to it.
Recommendation Status: Worth a watch.
