I just saw it and it's BRILLIANT! Thrilling and hilarious!

Like Shaun of the Dead, it combines two genres, cop action movies and comedy, to great effect. It's such a genius piece of film-making, in fact, that not only is the combination a masterpiece, but each facet taken individually (action, thriller, comedy) is actually done better than a lot of good movies belonging to one of those respective genres.

I'm glad to see that British comedy is really on the rise. A must-see.

 

You might notice that the poll is a wee bit biased. Huh huh, I said wee. Anyway, it's biased because the movie is so great that having an objective poll about it would be like asking people if they like free money and free sex. Really, the only options you need for such a poll are "yes", "what are you, stupid?" and "no, I'm a ****ing masochist and renounce all pleasures in life". You need the last option because, really, no collection of statistics is complete without the 1-3% of weirdos. Not that I'm saying that anyone who doesn't like this movie is a weirdo... I'm afraid I went a little far with my tangent there. So, to get back on topic: the poll is biased towards sane people.

It was very good, although it didn't quite meet the dizzying heights of Shaun Of The Dead, probably due to higher expectations. But really - Pegg, Frost and Wright have never done anything short of superb.

It was cool. I didn't really enjoy it, the afro of the guy sitting a seat infront of me was in the way. I thanked god when he went to the bathroom..

Pegg is a great guy. After my mother saw Shaun of the Dead (4 years ago I think) she e-mailed him to say how much she liked it (I think she had his email because they gave it away on video box-sets of "Spaced", a show he did before he was 'famous') and he responded the day after with a really nice and long letter thanking her and describing how making the movie was like among other things. Not many movie stars take the time to do that.

That's the great thing about that crew, they're just a bunch of regular funny guys who got a few lucky breaks and got into the tv/movie business. Shows there's hope for all of us :P

edit: also Spaced is one of the funniest programs ever conceived.

The movie was pretty cool, especially the end when it turned more into an action movie. Timothy Dalton is really good in a comedic role, as well. I miss him as Bond, but he played his character in that movie with such ease and humor.

It was a real funny movie and smart to boot.  Not like those slapstick comedies.
