This is definitely the weirdest movie in Simon and Edgar's trilogy and it's also the weakest. But, it's in no way a bad movie. It's very funny, has decent action scenes, a great cast and Simon and Nick's great chemistry. This movie is definitely weird though. It goes from a casual comedy about replicating a pub crawl to ALIEN INVASION. Yes, aliens have take over the town and they have to keep doing their pub crawl to make sure they don't notice that they know what's up. It's weirder than Shaun Of The Dead, for sure, but probably because we've never seen an alien invasion story using this sort of plot before. We've all seen zombie stories before so that's probably why it's weirder. Anyways, it's a good movie and a great way to end the trilogy.

I enjoy Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, always have. That being said, The World's End left me wanting. The relatable characters, which develop or prove themselves capable of change, throughout the previous 2 films in the trilogy are replaced with unlikeable and unfunny depictions of people who are stuck in their ways and have no intentions of changing. The humour, which is prevalent in Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead, is replaced with a rather upsetting storyline of alcoholism, a yearning for the past and very few intentions of providing the same laughs that made the other films so enjoyable. There was a smattering of chuckle-worthy moments throughout the film and well choreographed fight scenes, but the main plot was not enjoyable to watch and the ending seemed forced and hinted at almost lazy writing.For lovers of the first 2 instalments of The Cornetto Trilogy, I think you will be disappointed by The World's End, I know I was.

I must start by admitting to have reviewed this previously and removed it, last time round I must have been in a bad mood, I criticised it for going off the boil, however in recent times I've gotten so into it, it's meant to be bonkers, outrageous and utterly over the top and it sure is. I think there's something incredibly British about the humour, the world could come to an end, but there's still time for nostalgia, and more importantly there's still time for a pint. It's still perhaps my least favourite of The Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, but the other two are that good, and hard acts to follow. It is clever, it's witty, and which of us doesn't know a Gary? If only it didn't have to be a trilogy, would have loved more from this successful group, it's an underrated gem.

I think trying to keep awake while this purile drivel was going on was a trial .they had a good cast but the comedy was lost and the lead was just annoying .it just went from very bad to worse as the film progressed ,these guys would have been boring when young let alone played as older . Give it a miss if you do not want to be disappointed .
