This Sh*t just got Real!!

Rating: 10/10 (21 April 2007)

So the other day I saw the newest creation of the ingenious writers of Shaun of the Dead and Spaced. Now, my expectations were high (Pegg and Frost are two of my favorite actors), they weren't that big because many people claimed that Shaun was still funnier.
They were extremely wrong.
Hot Fuzz, while still managing to be very serious a lot of the time, is one of the funniest movies I've seen in my life (not an exaggeration). Seeing it opening day, the audience I was with applauded for at least 4 different one-liners that the comic geniuses said on-screen.
Now, the acting here is seriously the best ensemble I've seen in a many in a long time. Each and every character is amazingly well-played, they all interact phenomenally...the cast was simply perfect. Of course, it goes without saying that Simon and Nick were fantastic as Angel and Butterman.
The action was, without doubt, the best part of this movie. If you think that, because it's a comedy, the epicness will be toned down, then you are insanely mistaken. Think every single gun imaginable, high speed car chases, a series of brutal murders (one of them being so intense, in fact, that our audience was in a state of shock and awe at the same time...one of the most brilliant deaths I've ever seen on-screen), explosions, fist fights, stabs, blood, martial arts, and a final fight scene so action-packed that it will leave your jaw hanging...and your gut laughing.
I won't give too much away (seriously, this movie surprised me so many times), but this is a MUST-SEE for ANY fan of comedy movies or action movies. I know many people loved this year's earlier blockbuster 300 (myself included). But Hot Fuzz made 300 look like a Disney cartoon and made the deaths in Saw look comfortable.
10 outta 10 freakin action packed hot-fuzzy stars!
