What's your opinion on the cornetto trilogy? Why is English

>>84468951

The Worlds End hit too close to home. I was depressing. Felt more like the delusion of a man who had it all in highschool, peaked and then went downhill from there.

It was a great film, but I wouldnt call it a comedy.

>>84468951
The World's End was great. I don't care what anyone says. But the order of greatness is the order they were released.

Shaun of the Dead - 9/10
Hot Fuzz - 10/10
World's End - 7/10

For humor to work literally zero fucks have to be given and we worry about hurting each others' feelings too much on this side of the Atlantic, whereas the Brits have mastered bantz. Not saying Brit humor is better but they are certainly more adept at making light of dark subjects.

>>84468951
I don't get the appeal of Hot Fuzz
it's just generic cop comedy, the setting is boring as fuck
the other 2 are kino

>>84469081
TWE felt kinda hokey to me until that scene sunk in. Fuck me, it was like the movie decided to rip open my soul and shine a light on it.

The people who find these funny are probably dull and effusively praise flicks like GOTG.

the thing is these movies are considered unfunny trash in britain
you, the american, only find them funny because of the zany accents and lingo

The World's End is a masterpiece and one of my favorite movies ever because it is exactly what you say it is while being hilarious. The other two movies are funny and well-edited, but not very meaningful.

>>84468951
SOTD 9.5/10
Hot Fuzz 9/10
TWE 7/10
>>84469523
no they're not. most people here (at least the ones who saw it) love spaced at the very least

>>84469081
I sorta agree. It is my favorite because I relate to it so well, but I still find it plenty funny. I find Shaun of the Dead more depressing since Shaun loses so many people by the end.

English humor (humour, whatever) isn't afraid to insert moments of Dark comedy.


Also Hot Fuzz is his best

Are you me?

American comedy is usually about insufferable assholes who get everything they want and that's the joke

British humour (Shaun Of The Dead, Withnail And I, Bottom) is about failures, that makes it more relatable than US sitcoms like Le Big Bang Meme where you have protagonists who are literally architects and astronausts and shit

>humour
i wouldn't call it humour.
i mean it was funny, there were jokes in it, i did laugh.
but how can you call any of them a comedy?
more action than comedy really?
I think thats what makes it better. americans put a load of writers in a room and say ok guys this ones a comedy so lets all ram in as many jokes as we can. so its just joke after joke after joke with no regulation on quality but there's no room for anything else. no room even for a fucking plot lol. the plot is a means to an end of joke writers one upping each other.

Hot Fuzz > Shaun of the Dead > The World's End > Baby Driver >>>>> Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

Is this right?

World's End is weak as fuck. Only simon pegg and nick frost were memorable, every other character was forgettable

and even then, Gary King was an annoying faggot, there was almost nothing redeeming about him. Also the way the conflict played out for the majority of the movie, it was just kind of another zombie flick, group of survivors have to get away from a brainless homocidal mob while they occasionally stop to smash open the heads of 5 of em at a time along with a bit of ingroup conflict revolving around uncertainty of party members (you've been body snatched:you've been bitten)

easily the worst of the cornetto trilogy. Really hard for me to pick a favorite between Hot Fuzz and Shaun, they're both fucking fantastic

The "cornetto" trilogy is such a stupid fucking name, I hate hearing it every time these movies are mentioned and it actually makes them sound less appealing. Fuck whoever came up with it, whether it's Wright or Pegg or some other fuckstick. Shove a cornetto up your ass, wide end first.

>>84469681

>>84469164
it's the furthest thing from a generic cop comedy

>>84469610
at least always just put our blokes in dresses on tv and laugh at them, half your population is torn between burning them at the stake or making them into living saints

>>84469081
it pretty clearly states thats what it was

>>84471410
sounds like you somehow managed to miss the extremely obvious point of the world's end m80

Because, unlike many modern American comedies, these films use visuals a lot to compliment jokes or execute them. Most American comedies now are just improv, relying on purely dialogue to tell jokes.

>>84473824
Yeah, Wrights transitions are really 50% of the comedy

World's End > Hot Fuzz > Shaun of the Dead, but you have to be an adult to understand this.

>>84471544
How much better would this movie have been without Seth Rogen?
Personally I think it would go from a 3/10 to a 5/10.

>>84469963
He's chatting out of his arse. We love these films. TWE is the best of the 3. I wish I could do that pub crawl.

>>84474207
Agreed. My roommate at the time saw World's End three times in the theater. Best buddy film

Hot Fuzz > The World's End > Sean of the Dead
>While I rated Hot Fuzz first, I find The World's End much more rewatchable. Also I feel like it has more to say as a film. All are amazing though.

This is the only thing in your post I agree with. Gary makes up for it by being the best main character of any movie this century.

I don't know what they were thinking with End, what a fucking mess. It had some good parts but overall it's painful how weak it is compared to the other two.

>>84474669
You mean if other person literally read his exact same lines or if the character hadn't possible received any of his influence on its personality

>>84469104
I'm with you here. For the longest time I liked Shaun the most, but that was due to zombies and I was a slacker when it came out. Hot Fuzz is kino from beginning to end, though. Tight writing and humor that always lands right.

>>84468951
My favorite comedy trilogy of all time. Edgar Wright is a fucking genius!

Hot Fuzz > The World's End > Shaun of the Dead

I understand why people don't like the World's End, but it is a noticeably better movie than Shaun of the Dead. Shaun of the Dead loses so much steam in the third act.

>>84478138
>someone from uh…London called for you
>"tell'em I'll call'em back"

>>84469104
Shaun: 9.5.
Hot Fuzz: 9.
World's End: 7.

Shaun Of The Dead is arguably one of the best zombie movies ever made. And that's saying something considering all the zombie films ever made to this point.

>>84478138
I didn't like The World's End as much because of the swearing and it felt really forced.
It was like they knew they had to make something a bit more out there and swearing more would help that along.
I love the word cunt more than most people but saying it lots in a film isn't worth shit unless there's context.

World's End is the ultimate pleb filter. If you don't think that it's the best entry then you're a fucking waste of breath.

The only people who don't rate The World's End as good as the other three is because it just hit too close to home for them and they are lying to themselves about it.

>>84476774

>>84468951
SotD: 8
HF: 10
TWE: 8

Shaub has lost some of its appeal recently, I don't want to say it didn't age well but you can tell the cast and crew improved as they made each film. HF is a bit like that but they're copying high action into a more levelled world so it works 100%
The World's End was the best in execution, wasn't as direct with it's inspiration (small town overrun by [thing] is there, but having it as a pub crawl/brawl movie with a failure of a main character was pretty unique) and carried a lot more depth. Some of the humour felt flat (like their friends getting mulched and then the blank versions taking over their lives at the end felt really fucked up) but it's a great watch, and rounded out the trilogy well imo.

I feel like if TWE had been the second one released and Hot Fuzz had come third nobody would have a problem with it, because it was the darkest and a bit of a remix of concepts from the first two

>>84468951

The World's End is fucking under rated.

You're sitting down with your bros after tennis practice, steaming pile of crab legs on the table amidst you.

You are to watch the cornetto trilogy, however one of your bros brings up Paul, and due to popular vote, you must now watch this also.

In what order do you watch these 4 movies?

>>84469104
>For humor to work literally zero fucks have to be given and we worry about hurting each others' feelings too much on this side of the Atlantic, whereas the Brits have mastered bantz.
Actrually, I find it's the complete opposite.
Brits always feel the need to insert feels into EVERY comedy. See: Cornetto trilogy, The Office, etc.
It's so cheap to have your audience expect comedy and then pull a lame "tear jerker". Like the directors know their genre is shallow, so they try to sneak in some emotion in the hopes that it will make them more legitimate. Pathetic.

Hot Fuzz >>> Shaun of the Dead > Baby Driver >>> Scott Pilgrim vs. The World >>>>> The World's End

Hot Fuzz - 10/10
Shaun of the Dead - 9.5/10
Baby Driver - 8.5/10 (need to rewatch; probably higher)
SPvTW - 8/10
The World's End - 7/10

My opinions are FACTS.

>>84481072
That's writing in general. Burgers aren't any less guilty of it than the bongs.

>>84468951
I watched Hot Fuzz and barely fucking laughed. Just occasionally chuckled. I've never been so disappointed by such a hyped movie before. The incoherent Seth Rogen WEED LMAO type comedies are literally more entertaining and memorable than these insanely average tier movie. Completely killed my interest in watching the other two.

Why was Paul the Alien movie thingy so shit?

>>84483711
That's because you're legitimately retarded.

>>84484177
>Oh and I do get to make retard noises as loudly as I like
FTFY, of course you can say what you like, but when you talk like a retard you shouldn't be surprised when you get called one

Everything works better in Hot Fuzz to provide consistent laughs and engagement for the entire film. The other two falter in parts, but are still very funny.

I loved World's End but the "action" scenes have a really weird tone and don't fit with the rest of the film at all. Are they supposed to be funny? Exciting? I'm not sure what they were going for. The ending was also a mess, that bit with the robot gang fighting the humans because they wouldn't serve them waters was just nonsensical. I still love the film personally but if I'm honest it's 2.5 stars.

>>84479744
Agree with most of this. I kinda wanna say WE is the best though because it's mostly original (I think) compared to the others which are pastiches.

Hot Fuzz is the only good one, and it's severely overrated.

The World's End is one of those films where you don't think it is even a pale of the quality of the previous films in the series, and then you reflect on it over the following years. You come to realise that though it was different, it was great in its own way.

Like you, The World's End is a depressing watch because it's all about a person who couldn't appreciate what they had until it was long gone and spent the rest of their life trying to experience that youthful enjoyment again, even if fleetingly. The only reason many of us are on 4chan and some of its more manchild-ish boards in their twenties and thirties is because of that same attachment to the past.
