Hot Fuzz not funny...

**bone crusher** · 02-22-2008 08:25 PM

When I heard about this movie with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost reteaming with the same director of Shaun of the Dead I was really excited, but I was REALLY dissapointed by this movie.

Right from the beginning I was waiting for this movie to get funny. Never happened. i couldn't believe it. Especially after all the praise this movie received.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I thought the movie was hilarious. In some ways I think it was better than Shaun of the Dead....

....At the same time Shaun is vastly superior in many ways.

It really depends on if you're a 'fan' of the buddy-cop/action genre I guess. Just like Shaun is more enjoyable if you a fan of zombie films.

I wasn't too impressed with it either. The first half of it was very boring. It did get funnier. Yet not hilarious. I could have done without seeing it.

I agree. Only laughed a couple of times.

Didn't find it funny at all...

I didn't like either of the films. I maybe laughed a little more during Shaun, but hardly enough to enjoy it as a comedy.

I somewhat agree. Shaun is the better movie. (imo)

Maybe it was just too much British humor.

I freaking love their movies. I personally enjoyed Hot Fuzz the most...however, you have to have a love for action films. Like you really have to be a fan of the genre to really find it hilarious. Though, I think the film works without such an intimate knowledge.

Also, you might like to know that they were originally going to give Angel a love interest. However, they decided it be funnier to give the dialog to Nick Frost.

There are so many cameos from Action Series and homages. It really is a huge clusterfuck of homages. I'm also a pretty big fan of British Humor.

However, someone ^^^ above me said it best...you'll probably enjoy one over the other, if you like a particular genre over the other.

Peter Jackson's cameo really came out of nowhere...

Makes sense, because I believe it's a British film.

I didn't like Hot Fuzz much either, just the last 20 minutes. Shaun of the Dead was awesome.

I didn't think this movie was all that and a bag of chips either. There's definitely some funny parts, but it's not anything hysterical or noteworthy in my book. While I normally appreciate dry, british humor, for some reason this movie just didn't hit the mark with me.

It's coming on one of the premium channels next month. I'll check it out then.

I hated Shaun of the Dead because of the characters and i've never been able to get all the way thru Hot Fuzz even though it has some funny moments.
I usually like British stuff.
Check out Severance and Evil Aliens. Much better.
