The World’s End is the final part of Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg’s Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy. After a zombie film and a cop movie, we now have the science fiction feature. The World’s End is about five high school friends get together about 20 years after graduation to finish the pub crawl in their home town of that they failed to do when they were teenagers. When the group get back to the town of Newton Haven things seem strange at first and it is confirmed when a fight breaks out in the loo.
The World’s End is a funny movie and there wasn’t very many of these this summer. I laughed throughout the film as did the full auditorium. If you put this against the other two movies in the trilogy, it unfortunately it is the least funny. Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are two movies that from the start were hard to top.
The only problem I had with the film was that it started slow. Don’t get me wrong, the beginning was funny. It just took until the scene in the bathroom for the movie to really start going. Once that happened, you had the action that goes along with all the laughs that make up the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy.
