Movie Reviews of Hot Fuzz (Ultimate Edition) [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: I Peed My Pants
Summary: 5 Stars

Okay, I ddin't actually pee my pants, but I almost did.

This is the funniest movie I have seen in years! I know I was missing a lot of the inside jokes because I don't watch a lot of cop movies (haven't ever seen Bad Boys 2, been years since I saw Point Break) and even though I watch a ton of british comedies, I know some of that stuff still eluded me due to language differences. But even with all that, I was laughing nearly the entire way through.

The editing for this movie is insanely good. Simon's movies always have the best transitions, something I think that transfered over from his Spaced days. (MINOR SPOILERS) For example, the part where the cloaked murdered beats the guy in the face with a baton transitions smoothly into Sgt. Angel falling into his chair to watch the movie. So genious! these little things are what make a good movie into a great one. It's that attention to detail in every part of this movie that shows the love the creators have in their work. When someone loves what they are creating this much, then the audience is bound to as well.

Characters are vivid and memorable, but there are just too many to keep them all straight with one viewing. Good excuse for me to watch this over and over. Awesome perfromances by all, esp. Timothy Dalton, Nick and Simon.

This movie is kind of a comedy/action/slasher hybrid. It does a fairly good job of balancing all these elements, though comedy seems to be the thread that ties them all together. There isn't much action for the first part of the movie, just comedy. Then the slasher mystery starts, and then the action. At first, I was really put off by the switch in tone from light comedy to slasher movie, as there wasn't much setup for this in the beginning. This is really the only thing I can find wrong with the movie. The good news is they do a good job of establishing the slasher portion and the disorientation from the switch in tone (a problem they also had with Shaun) wears off. The movie closes with perhaps the best and most satisfying ending to any action movie I have ever seen. I was fist-pumping with joy and shouts of "yes!" the entire time (hangs head in embarrasment). It has everything! A big scooby-doo reveal, a reversal, massive gun battle (think John Woo), a car chase, a hand-to-hand fight, and an "explosive" finale. If at any point you were unconvinced that they weren't taking themselves seriously, the ending will safely do away with that notion, heh hehh.

Pegg throws in every cop movie cliche and then some, plenty of tongue-in-cheek humor, campy action sequences, and brilliantly cheesy one-liners. I rally can't say how freaking awesome this movie is, it is just something you will have to experience for yourself. I liked it so much I just bought it on blu-ray, minutes after watching a copy I checked out from the library. I never do that, so that says a lot.

If you don't like this movie, I will hit you with a shovel.
