Here comes the Fuzz
On valentines day the new(ish) Simon Pegg/Edgar Wright creation ‘Hot Fuzz’ hit the screens, after the success of Shaun of the Dead everyone I know was itching to see it but it looks like they came away dissapointed (Ian and Andi). I’m not 100% sure what everyone was expecting from a film that is written by and basically stars the same people but it was only ever going to be one of two things - a completely different tone from Shaun of the Dead or basically the same type of film with a different setting - it was the later.
I wasn’t a great fan of Shaun of the Dead when it first came out, it took watching Spaced to make me wise up and fully appreciate it, perhaps that’s why I really liked Hot Fuzz, I still want more of that style of humour whereas those who saw Spaced long before the films have fallen out of love with it. This film was not as good as Shaun of the Dead but then it’s not that far behind and to be honest I’ve seen Shaun of the Dead way more times than Hot Fuzz so after a few more viewings it might be as good in my eyes.
I’d give it 7.5/8 out of 10.
Good Hunting
I really really really really really really really want to go and see it. I love spaced, and loved Shaun of the dead (but I agree with you when you say you have to watch spaced first to fully appreciate it).
I’ll hopefully find some time either this week or next to go see it!
f’ing brilliant!
I know a couple of people who have been to see it and have only heard good things so far.
