Hot Fuzz!
 
Watching it in a few hours, review up later.

It's meant to be better than Shaun of the Dead and that is one of my favourite films ever

ct2k 02-16-2007 07:56 AM

Gotta say it does look pretty fuckin good

Mr. Monday Morning 02-16-2007 09:37 AM

Seeing it tomorrow :y:

Tornado 02-16-2007 09:43 AM

Seeing it tonight, can't wait.

Disturbed316 02-16-2007 09:54 AM

Cant wait to see it.

Blitz 02-16-2007 01:30 PM

Looks great, can't wait till it's out here.

ct2k 02-16-2007 01:34 PM

I might go see it tomorrow actually, not been the flicks since Superman Returned:$

Dave Youell 02-16-2007 06:14 PM

Ok then.

It was good, not GREAT!

I think it's a film that will get funnier the more I watch it, I was probably expecting too much, there were dozen's of LOLZ moments, but it was a slow build to get there.

I know this sounds negative, but it really isn't meant to be, as i'd happily watch it again tomorrow, plus there's loads of british comedians in it.

So in conclusion 4/5 very good, just not as good as Shaun, but then with Shaun I went in without knowing alot about it.

Tornado 02-16-2007 07:10 PM

I thought it was fucking brilliant, on a par, if not better than Shaun of the Dead.

Funky Fly 02-17-2007 04:28 AM

Saw a proview for it today while I was at the cinema for ghost rider. Looks good.

Boondock Saint 02-18-2007 01:06 AM

Can't wait. Not til April here though, :-\

Mr. Monday Morning 02-18-2007 09:01 AM

Not sure

I'd say it's a better made film than Shaun, but not as funny. There's lots of smaller laughs but not many huge LOL moments. To me, anyway. Also the constant cutcutcutcutcutcutcut editing during the many action sequences started to get on my nerves after a while.

Boondock Saint 02-18-2007 10:47 PM

Most action movies are like that, I assume it was making fun of it.

Dave Youell 02-19-2007 05:53 AM

I did love the little bits from Shaun, like when they are eating cornetto's

And also I like the mini cuts in between actions that were in Shaun.

Like when Shaun would get ready for work there'd be just flashed of him doing his teeth, flushing the loo and they washing his hands in 5 seconds.

Lots of that in Fuzz.

Nah, it's Edgar Wright's directing style, he uses a LOT of cuts, even back when he was doing Spaced. Imagine the fights from Batman Begins but with MORE cuts and MORE movement and you're somewhere close.

Boondock Saint 02-19-2007 03:26 PM

I seeeee.

Anathema 02-19-2007 03:27 PM

Saw it the other day and I thought it was funny as f*ck :D great film

Disturbed316 02-19-2007 04:59 PM

Seeing it tomorrow, loved Shaun so I'll probably giggle my pants off.

Disturbed316 03-01-2007 10:23 AM

Finally got round to seeing it yesterday, such a funny film. Critics say it sagged abit in the middle before the end action beings, but I thought it was pretty good, gave the story more meaning.

Avenger 03-01-2007 04:01 PM

Saw it the other day aswell. Amazing. Just hilarious. ROFLMAO at the part where he dropkicks the Granny in the face.

packt up 03-01-2007 10:04 PM

Great film. Better than Shaun but pretty close.

Mr. Nerfect 03-07-2007 03:50 PM

Going to check it out, these guys can make mediocre movies for the rest of their lives as far as I'm concerned. They gave us Shaun. :y:

Vietnamese Crippler 03-07-2007 04:41 PM

Really good movie and so much funnier than anything I've watched lately :y: :y:

NeanderCarl 03-10-2007 01:53 AM

Saw it a few weeks back. I thought it was wicked. Much better than Shaun of the Dead. I was pretty disappointed, actually, when I saw Shaun because it had been so hyped up. Hot Fuzz lives up to the hype, though.

There were a few moments where it lagged a little, but they were short enough to be forgivable, and didn't detract from the overall feeling of satisfaction when the end credits finally roll.

Boondock Saint 04-21-2007 04:27 AM

Saw it tonight. Hilarious. Would have to rank Shaun higher though, until I get to see this a few more times. CORNETTO

D Mac 04-21-2007 08:14 AM

It's not playing at my theatre. :(

Downloading...

RBM 04-22-2007 02:02 AM

Just got back from it. Awesome. Not as good as Shaun I'd say, but very much worth checking out.

Ogen 04-22-2007 11:10 AM

I have for months now been trying to find a decent copy to download and just can't be done.

I got a screener that's pretty decent only the first 10 min. were cut off.

Kane Knight 04-23-2007 03:45 PM

I didn't like Shaun of the Dead. I didn't find it funny or "scary."

If I didn't like that movie, should I even waste my time on this? Is it different enough I might enjoy?

Boondock Saint 04-23-2007 04:14 PM

Prolly not.

Kane Knight 04-23-2007 08:32 PM

Thanks.

Boondock Saint 04-23-2007 10:23 PM

No prob, Bob!!!!!

Blitz 04-26-2007 11:31 PM

Thought it was quite good. First half hour was a bit boring, but the next hour and a half was great.

PapaGeorgio 04-27-2007 12:48 AM

Finally get to see it tomorrow with a wider release. Cause you know, theater here was to busy still playing Wild Hogs, don't worry if you missed it though it's still airing all week!

Shaggy 04-28-2007 09:49 PM

going and seeing it tonight...I wanted Condemned...my girlfriend wanted Hot Fuzz....

bottom line...I like pussy ...so she won

Apocolyptik1 04-30-2007 03:39 PM

Movie was the fucking goods. Plenty to laugh at throughout the movie. I dont think it sagged in the middle, but at the beginning like Blitz said. Then I was laughing for the rest of it.

Shaggy 04-30-2007 04:33 PM

yea the movie was slow to start but once it started rolling it was laughter all the way...specially the references to Point Break and Bad Boys

G 08-05-2007 06:17 PM

i love the over the top cuts :D
