Saw Pegg and Frost's latest cinematic outing last night.
It was simply superb. My high expectations from Shawn of the Dead were not misplaced. It was funny throughout, had a totally over the top plot (deliberately so), some pretty gory moments, and a cracking gunfight to round it off. I liked it all the more because a lot of Americans (whose action films it parodied) probably won't get it.
As with their first film, the entire cast were well known British actors, which is good as it gives them something to do other than appear on Grumpy Old Men/Women.
Definitely one to get on DVD when it comes out. Should be a great post pub film.
Overall: Good enough to forgive them the ever lasting postponement of (the now legendary) Spaced Series 3.

Spaced will never return. Get over it. Why go back to the drudgery of Meteor Street when you can schmooze with the likes of Robert Rodruiguez, Quentin Tarantino and Tom Cruise?
Fully agree Hot Fuzz was one of the best films I have seen for some time, was laughing all the way through, absolute genius!
Edgar Wright has recently said Series 3 is unlikely, but I can still live on in delusional hope.
