A bit of a disappointment. I liked the way Pegg and Frost's roles were originally reversed, but then they don't really make anything of it (Pegg and Wright wrote a sort of spin on
Invasion of the Bodysnatchers on the back of a fag packet). That the ending gives way to a race against a CGI fireball shows how the imagination is on low power (think of the inspired ending of
Hot Fuzz in a model village). It isn't really character driven (again compare to the previous two films) and not as funny as previous efforts.
The pub crawlers:
Simon Pegg, Paddy Considine, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan:
And: Rosamund Pike, David Bradley, Michael Smiley (Rev Green), Pierce Brosnan, Steve Oram, Darren Boyd, voice of Bill Nighy.
Shot by Bill Pope (
Matrix films). Paul Machliss (also
Scott Pilgrim) is emulating - less successfully - the editing style of Chris Dickens, who has moved on to better? / different things (
Les Mis, Berberian Sound Studio).
