Nice movie but too long

Rating: 7/10 (5 August 2008)

This might be not a nice comment and a bit short, but I felt a bit drained after watching Hot Fuzz.
If you expect your audience to 'get' the really funny jokes, you should also expect them to 'get' the storyline. I think they could have cut a murder, or one of the teams get togethers. The story taking forever to unfold was a bit frustrating and made me lose interest for the often hilarious jokes.
You might say that story lines in movies like these are not too important, but I really enjoyed the way it all started. Simon Pegg was very cool being the dedicated Policem.. officer and Nick Frost admiring him was also brilliant. So why not finish the movie with a short but sweet statement and leave out most of the Scooby Doo-like whodunnit stuff?
