Nicola Cunningham and Simon Pegg reunite for The World's End Year: 2013 Rating: **1/2 |
British cult-classic director Edgar Wright and his leading man and co-writer Simon Pegg return to the theme of a group of losers forced to battle a horde of... well they're basically zombies liken to SHAUN OF THE DEAD but since THE WORLD'S END is of the INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS science-fiction mold, these monsters are able to move really fast and fight pretty well...
Making no sense that five mundane/thirty-something former college buddies could fight like Bruce Lee in far too many mindless action sequences, opposite of what SHAUN and HOT FUZZ perfected throughout its entire first half: fleshing out interesting human characters before thrusting them into inhuman peril...

Simon Pegg in THE WORLD'S END
|
For which END has only one fella of any real significance, and it's Simon Pegg, once the popular/confident leader and now an oblivious alcoholic loser, desperately getting "the band back together" in the BLUES BROTHERS crashing-their-various-nowhere-jobs tradition...
But even Pegg's always faithful, scene-stealing sidekick Nick Frost is such an uptight, aloof and downright bitter grownup, he could have been played by anyone... In fact the whole lot are so turned-off by Pegg's Gary King aka King Gary, they seem as reluctant to be in the movie as its plot-line...

Nick Frost shoots THE WORLD'S END
|
Involving HOT FUZZ "other team" cop Paddy Considine along with Martin Freeman (and a bland actor who looks just like him) forced to reenact their age-old Pup Crawl, hitting twelve different joints to down one pint each before moving on to the next, and in a town that seems all too pristine and modern...
A potentially intriguing premise that falls short since, with non-stop action overshadowing the humans, Wright and Pegg created more of a video game these guys' college-age selves would play than a character-driven romp they're eventually stuck in, and, particularly compared to SHAUN, this WORLD is basically... with Wright's sublimely-flowing direction aside... an overlong and tragically contrived DEAD END.
