Brilliantly Genius

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2013)

This is not a movie. This is an experience that will take you on the craziest and wildest ride of your life. I had no idea that this movie was in some way linked to Shaun of The Dead but once i found out Hot Fuzz had the same actors and director from SOTD, I had to watch it. It probably is better to watch SOTD beforehand. Hot Fuzz is a million times better though and the writing is brilliant. However, i am in awe of Edgar Wright's Directing style. The shots are fast paced for the action sequences but are slow enough for the comedy to sink in within them. The writing is the star of the movie. This is not a total trash talking, dirty minded movie. The curses are sort of necessary and fit in with the characters. For instance, the main character played by Simon Pegg does not curse until more than half-way through the movie because he is a serious cop unlike Nick Frosts character who can swear but picks his moments. The action does not stop right up until the very end of the movie which is a delight The writing is also witty and funny. This movie is very graphic, especially the death scenes of the villagers but it all comes together for this outrageously epic plot that has an end that will completely blow your mind. This is not a predictable episode of CSI. This is the best comedy I have ever experienced.
