Although it was funny, I thought it was a little over the top towards the end. Some very funny scenes and dialog. Both obvious and subtle nods to popular culture and films… some too subtle I’m sure I missed quite a few… 8/10

Trev – I agree about the <span class=“caps”>OTT</span> nature of the end part of the film, but I couldn’t help grinning through that the whole way through. I felt that it was intentional, and probably my favourite part of the whole experience. Likewise, I think I probably missed quite a few nods.

Paul – sorry to hear that mate… swings and roundabouts I suppose… :)

Doesn’t come out in the US until sometime in April – God damn it!  (Makes a change thou hey!)

Andy, i can’t help thinking that this is another “Shaun of the dead” i look at the HF trailer and see this.. and im coming to learn that trailers realy do represent movies (at the moment).. if its good, it looks fantastic as a trailer, but if its bad, it looks bloody awful and cheezy – i look at hot fuzz and see shaun of the dead 2.0 and think, ill down load it an then not be dissapointed i spent 4.. maby £5, on waisting my time at the cinema….

Paul, if ur on a mac, sort ur self out with aquisiton..

Gaz, I think the best thing to do is accept it in it’s own right – don’t look at it like a sequel. Pegg’s humour is always going to be the same, but I’d much rather they did this and change the genre than create something that is meant to be a <span class=“caps”>SOTD</span> 2 (which this isn’t). Try and ignore the similarities.

I haven’t seen it yet but I expect nothing less from the Pegg/Frost/Wright combo. I doubt anything they do will top Spaced (other than maybe a third series) but I’ll wager that it’s the best film to come out of our humble isle this year.

I really wouldn’t be surprised Sam. I can’t say much in the way of true British film has inspired me recently.
