Felt like an interesting mid-life crisis movie all on its own similarly to what Another Round was about but I guess that's just the magic of Edgar Wright's writing and editing.

Anyway, 2nd half was funny but was it necessary? Couldn't it have been just a drunk barcrawl journey?

I truly think it ruined the movie. Was so engaged til it introduced the supernatural

They handled the transition way better in Shawn of the Dead

All three movies in that trilogy were about that.

It was just a drunk barcrawl journey.

The World's End hits the cleanest out of all three in terms of "absurd situation that requires its protagonist to go through normal human growth".

honestly, i think it's one of those movies that gets better with rewatches. i was a bit disappointed at first too, but now i really like it. i'd put it inbetween shaun of the dead and hot fuzz now.

I know they were all bait and switch genre comedies but the 3rd one's twist wasn't good enough to carry momentum like the Shaun of the Dead and especially Hot Fuzz. Enormous lens flares and CGI usage probably played a part in that idk.

This is the End of the same year was so much funnier. The world's end was garbage. Generic protagonist, generic twist, and just not funny at all, which is the real problem. It was a sharp decline from the hilarious shaun of the dead and hot fuzz. And I really enjoyed dude's library beforehand, from shaun to scott pilgrim

Ive only seen it once when it came out and I did not like it. I love Shaun of the dead and hot fuzz and this one just didnt hit like those did. I probably need to rewatch it 10 years later to get a better opinion though
