It Didn't Disappoint!

Rating: 10/10 (8 April 2007)

Ever since I saw the advert for Hot Fuzz in October 06, I was absolutely thrilled and could not wait until it came into cinemas. Shaun of the Dead is probably my favourite film and I couldn't wait to see more of those comic geniuses Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
It starts off a little slowly... all the jokes in the first half an hour or so I had already seen in the advert. But then it gets going.
And it could not be more brilliant.
The complete and utter Britishness of the film is so lovable. The same sort of goriness appears as in Shaun of the Dead, but in a similar way it's not scary... just really outrageous! Fans of Shaun of the Dead will notice the subtle references to Shaun of the Dead, which makes it easier to connect to.
There are laugh out loud jokes the whole way through. Political correctness is forgotten. And there are also some "jump out of your seat" moments. There's a bit of everything... it's done with such care and perfection. The ending is completely unpredictable, and pretty sentimental too! All in all, Hot Fuzz is a film well worth watching, and after the brilliance of Shaun of the Dead, will not disappoint.
