Seriously.
I hereby deem The World's End my favorite film of the year. I think it is the perfect summer film: full of great, quick humor, big action scenes, amazing spectacle, and heart. What sets this film apart from the rest though is how successfully it manages all these aspects. The humor doesn't suffer in favor of the action, or vice versa. I seriously thought this film was insanely hilarious, the best of Pegg and Wright's "Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy," (which I've also seen called the Cornetto Trilogy and includes Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz). It's seriously so good. The cast is amazing with spectacular comedic timing, and Pegg and Wright's script is so good. Edgar Wright once again proves how great and unique of a director he is. Both of these guys (along with the rest of the people who worked on this film, honestly) have staying power and Hollywood is lucky to have them. I seriously can't recommend this film enough.
Go see it. Now.
Rating: 5 out of 5.
