was amazing. 

Shaun of the Dead was to zombie movies as Hot Fuzz is to action duo flicks.  So if you liked Shaun of the Dead you'll love this one.

Anyone else seen it?  What'd you guys think?

Saw it months ago, and I think it pales in comparison to Shaun of the Dead. Some bits were funny but the majority of it wasnt...

You'll love it then.  Don't read any reviews of it, all I've read would have spoiled some parts.  All I'll tell you is you'll want to see it again after the first time, it was that good.

That's probably because you don't like "Buddy cop action movies," enough compared to Zombie movies.  This was a total spoof of those films.

My mom said it's not that good, but to make sure... I'll rent it on DVD, or never. I didn't get much of the brilliance from SOTD when watching it on Comedy Central, I thought it was mediocre anyway.

I thought it was great, and I really enjoyed it, BUT, I thought shaun of the dead was more obviously a spoof, and in my opinion I still prefer it.

Since you've already seen it, this reviewer sums my thoughts up perfectly.  The last paragraph was my favorite, about the writers.

I saw it quite some time ago, it's nice that the UK actually got something before the US.. or at all.. I liked it but it didn't quite live up to my expectations, but purely because of the respect and love I have for Spaced and SotD... 7.5/10 in my books, still a great movie and I'll be, of course, getting the dvd aswell :D

I love cop/action films, I just found that theyve Americanised their humour which isnt funny to me. Subtle British humour FTW.

I want to see it as well. It's too bad ppl are saying that because it has been released just after Virginia Tech that the movie is sorta being given some bad reviews.

Not surprising when many of those cop/action films they were spoofing are American.  Although I heard there was some of that humor you were talking about ... can you give me a hint?  I might have missed some :(

I saw it yesterday night, and I already want(need) to go see it again ... damn..

The previews had some "chuckle" moments but I doubt I'll see this film in theatres. When it comes out on dvd however, it's a totally different question.

They cut out some of the best parts on regular tv. You need to rent it. Full version with no cut outs= the best.
