Cornetto Trilogy Review including the newly released, The World's End!


In honor of the end of the Cornetto Trilogy, maybe, I decided to review all of the installments starting with Shaun of the Dead and ending with The World's End. Feel free to comment anonymously after the review.

Shaun of the Dead- The revival of both the horror comedy and modern zombie film, Shaun of the Dead is a great film. The central performances by Nick Frost and Simon were hilarious and complex at the same time. The twisted man behind the trilogy Edgar Wright is a genius for coming up with all of these ideas especially this film. The comedy is superb and it's hard sometimes to distinguish between the horror and comedy. The directing style of Wright adds to this film for his original quick camera turns. Shaun of the Dead receives a 10/10 for me.

Hot Fuzz- The least liked of the trilogy is still as good and as dark, but without the surprise of the first film Shaun of the Dead. The fact about this film is it is a guilty pleasure of mine. I love watching the large battle at the end between the old and the young town citizens. The conspiracy worked as good and kept you on top of your toes. Being not as revolutionary as it's predecessor it still provides a great laugh when needed. It works just fine fitting into the trilogy. 9/10

The World's End- It's a mix of it's predecessors. The old town setting mixed with the invaders and multiple drinking spots. Despite being a mix, it still holds lots of originality. It is probably the second funniest behind the start of the trilogy, Shaun, but it still provides the right amount of horror, action, comedy, references, Sci Fy, romantic and heartwarming moments in this large scale two hour film. It is a fitting end to the Cornetto Trilogy. 10/10

Although it is hard to choose between the favorite, the trilogy is one of my favorites of all time.
