Overated.

I'm agnostic before anyone accuses me of being a God botherer.

This movie just didn't make me laugh much. Religion vs science aside, did anyone just not find this very funny? :/

Truly Happy Mondayed.

I didn't but my favourite films are Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World's End. Spaced is my favourite TV show as well.

The World's End is not in the same league as Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Spaced.

I would agree it was not that funny

I saw it for my30th b-day. It wasnt funny. Even having simon pegg & lol the ice cream trilogy cost less then this film.

I thought this movie was utter rubbish also, the concept, the script, the dialogue, how do you go from Hot Fuzz and end up with Paul?

Money, thats how

You aim it at an American audience! Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead were aimed very much at a British audience. The humour is completely different..and funnier.

Yeah, it's just an okay movie. It's definitely not a bust your gut laughing out loud type of movie. There were a few funny moments, and it was able to amuse me enough to watch it until the end...but it's not even remotely close to being a 7 rating. More like mid to high 5.

High five, man. I'm exactly like you. I watched it til the end too, it was not bad enough to make me want to stop halfway. I would rate it from 5 to 6, something like that. Overall it was just okay, definitely not my favorite Simon Pegg movie.

[–] kostadinslavkov 11 years ago

It's between 5,8 and 6,3 for me. Definitely not 7.

Do ya mean on IMDb? No...people rate it, that's the rating...don't like it? Tough....ever voted in a real election? Almost the same.

**these go to eleven **
