The World's End [Blu-ray] [2017]

Great item at a competitive price

Hot Fuzz, Paul, and now this. Too much swearing. I hated the swearing as much as I hated it in Paul, but otherwise it is great. Have to say it went lacklustre in the beginning, a sad alcoholic lives for just one dream - get his childhood friends to the drinking marathon in their home town. They couldn't finish when they were young, you see. He goes into all sorts of deceits to get them together, and they start drinking in every pub, and it is all dull, pathetic and the guy is pathetic and everybody can see this.Then they encounter a robot in the toilet and everything changes. The story gets crazy. Well, no cliché there. The ending is not what you expect. The guy finds his purpose in life again but not how you thought he would.So, I enjoyed it.I found some jokes pretty good, some bizarre moments, some really touching ones. It is supposed to be a comedy, but oddly it hits some truths about the modern society too.

After the relatively disappointing 'Hot Fuzz', 'The World's End' brings the Cornetto Trilogy to a fitting end. This is a denser, perhaps more serious story, for all its robot humanoids and superbly choreographed fights; characters have proper backstories beyond the school pals reunion set-up and even the alien-takeover plot is less one-dimensional than you'd expect. Edgar Wright's direction has matured too. Sure he still uses his arsenal of visual tricks, but in a much more contained way than in 'Shaun of the Dead' or 'Hot Fuzz'.The Blu-Ray has an astonishing amount of extras in terms of features (nearly all of which are comprehensive and, more importantly, interesting!) and the commentary is everything you'd expect.'Shaun of the Dead', however, remains this team's crowning glory, in my view. I might admire the maturity that Pegg, Frost & Wright have attained here, but the first film has a unique energy borne out of the experiences of 'Spaced' that means it never outstays its welcome and makes it endlessly re-watchable.

A lot of us have seen this classic now, but it's still hillarious!!

A funny film from the Shaun of the Dead team, with a great sound track.thoroughly enjoyed it.

Like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, this film has a snappy, well scripted and funny first half. Gary King (Pegg) rounds up his old school pals so that they can complete the pub crawl they failed to manage twenty years or so earlier. Sporting the same outfit as his 17 year old self, and apparently with about as much money as he had then, King is a loafing fantasist and a scrounger, but has a nice line in witty comebacks.Aforesaid pals are all much more successful than Gary in that they are gainfully employed, but despite having rather more to lose than him, they return inevitably to Newton Haven to embark on the golden mile.The attraction of this film is its affectionate take on the nostalgia that is familiar to many of us who grew up in small towns. The leaving school celebrations, the wish to escape, the being sick after 2 pints. And we are all aware of how our lives took different paths and how tricky adult life can be. Perhaps that is why the first half of the film works so well.The second half of the film is basically a 'mash up' (as I believe the youngsters call it) of Shaun and Hot Fuzz, as our heroes battle the locals - now mostly comprising cyborgs with distinctively zombie like mannerisms. I don't know how this all came about and neither do the screenwriters, and though a bit of action is nothing to complain about, here it's strangely hyped up and stylised, which doesn't quite work.There are some attempts at poignancy along the way, mostly involving the Pegg character, but the twists and turns I was expecting failed to materialise or were predictable and contrived. Almost worth watching for the first half, but rather a chore beyond that.

Simply one of the best movies ever made.

bought a couple of DVD'S from this seller, they arrived quickly and were well packaged. DVD's are brand new and wrapped in perfect condition. I'm really pleased with these as they are such good value for money.
