Not as good as sequel, Hot Fuzz, and a bit dull

Rating: 6/10 (2 February 2008)

I watched "Hot Fuzz" before this movie. Watching "Hot Fuzz" made me want to see this movie really bad. I loved "Hot Fuzz"'s original style of humor (British comedy !!!) and its great acting, along with intricate plot. The camera work from Wright was different from any American films I've ever seen and made the film much more comedic and hilarious, and not stuck in 'one situation.' Hot Fuzz was one of my favorite movies of 2007. But when I watched "shaun of the dead" I was not laughing, and the plot did not get me involved in the movie either. The jokes were lack-luster compared to "Hot Fuzz". Much of the comedy doesn't fit in. The acting is what got me through the movie, the expressions on the main character (Shaun)'s face actually had me laughing more than the jokes themselves. Watch this movie for the acting, not the jokes and plot/acting (there really is not a plot) but if you don't like this movie watch "Hot Fuzz", you'll definitely be laughing at that.
