The World's End

In my opinion, The Cornetto Trilogy is the greatest trilogy ever created. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a group of there movies Directed by Edgar Wright, Written by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg and starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. The trilogy includes "Shaun of the Dead", "Hot Fuzz" and "The World's End".

...I know what you're thinking. You're thinking "Oh, man. That is the best trilogy ever created. He's right"... I know I am... No need to say it.


This movie is exactly what the trailer implies. Five friends meet up after almost 20 years and try to complete the pub crawl that they failed as teenagers. During said reunion, the five discover that the town that they grew up in has all been replaced by evil robots! Only they're not robots, because robot means slave... and stuff... you'll understand what I'm getting at when you see it.

Anyway, even after they discover their predicament, they are too drunk to do anything but continue the pub crawl... So, they drink pint after pint becoming more and more drunk as the world's end (AAAAHHHH) crawls up on them.

Because no one has a better idea!!!

This was a great send off to a great series of completely unrelated movies. It was hilarious, had a reference to Cornetto and had their amazing "shit just got emotional" scenes. And one of the many reasons why I think the Cornetto Trilogy is the best trilogy is because I don't know which one is better. They're all amazing. They're all completely different, and they're all hilarious. I seriously cannot put one in front of the other, and I can do that with most trilogies.

It kind of makes me sad that this will probably be the last one. I hope it's not, but I am not getting my hopes up. It's a great series, but all great things must come to an end. And if they're going to end it, "The World's End" is better than how most things end...

I'm looking at you "Lost", "The Sopranos" and other such let downs!!!

My Grade: A+
