It's OK

Rating: 6/10 (9 April 2007)

Get past the slathering, adulatory rants by the fan boys and girls and you'll find a film that passes the time adequately enough - main problems are length and the directing style of Edgar Wright - yes, jump cuts, crash zooms and whip pans are lovely, but he's over-egged the pudding on this one, or perhaps showed his limitations? To my mind it shows a lack of development from the team - hopefully the next project will be a tad more ambitious. After the excellence of Spaced, and the highly enjoyable Shaun of the Dead, this film is a definite disappointment, comparatively speaking. I shall be getting it on DVD, but not until I can do so for a fiver or less.
