noteable

im still buzzing from seeing the flick
me and my chick were in stitches

Merged.

I was able to get a viewing of this...great flick.

went to see it last night...cant really see why so many people gave it 5/5...it has its moments....some brilliantly subtle and not so subtle nods to other films....but not as funny as shaun of the dead by a royal mile...

as much as i rate Shaun i prefered Fuzz and im surprised as i love Horror over Action

though there was more horror in that flick than most of the horror flicks out recently

Agreed. I had to go and watch it again at the weekend cos when I saw it first time I was kinda drunk, but didn't really change my opinion.

It was very funny, though in only in places, whereas Shaun of the Dead was consistently hilarious. Although like Shaun it did work as both a comedy and genuine homage to the genre it is satirising, it was definitely less effective as an action movie than Shaun was as a zombie flick.

Either way though, it's worth watching just for Timothy Dalton. And the Bill Bailey(s?) cameo.

agreed. timothy dalton was awesome.

Agreed. I really enjoyed it. Not on a SOTD level, because that's not how it operated, but it tackled a lot of the silly American action movie cliches pretty straight forward and I loved it.

i was actually disappointed by the lack of bruckheimer-isms in the movie. i guess team america already had that pretty well nailed, but still...

it cracked me up everytime they used that rushing sound effect for the most banal actions.

overall a little long, and i wish they want more balls out bruckheimer, but still very good. especially the absurd finale.

"For the greater good"..lol. Very "The Wicker Man-ish" with the cult element.

I agree. I really liked Hot Fuzz...got kinda ridiculous totwards the end, but very enjoyable...just....Shaun of the Dead was better.

at times it felt as though it tried to hard, at other times i was to busy laughing to pay attention to anything.

I thought SOTD was only slightly better. I actually thought the last half hour was what nearly caught it up to the level of SOTD.

it started a little too slow but redeemed itself a lot in the last 45 min or so. Ended up being very fun.

I loved this movie...

I think the best part was the whole Romeo and Juliet spoof

Me and my friend were DYING last night. 😆

Granted, SOTD was better.
