A good movie

Since this movie was the last part of Edgar Wright’s Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, of course, I was really eager to check it out. In fact, even though ‘Shaun of the Dead’ and ‘Hot Fuzz’ immediately became some cult-classics, this movie didn’t actually make much waves, maybe  because it was released 6 long years after its predecessor. Well, anyway, even though it turned out to be fun, I can’t say I was really convinced though. First of all, probably because of its title, I thought it might be a disaster movie but, in fact, they went for something more like ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers’ which unfortunately turned out to be a rather poor idea. Indeed, I’m not sure what bothered me the most, the fact that these alien robots were so lame or the fact that this concept was just way too similar to the zombies displayed in ‘Shaun of the Dead’. Fortunately, pretty much everything else was quite pitch-perfect and really damned entertaining. Indeed, I really loved the idea of this group of friends reuniting 20 years later facing the challenge of visiting all the pubs of the town of their youth and, basically, half of the movie, the cast was pretty much drunk which was just pretty fun to behold, especially thanks to a really solid cast. To conclude, even if I wasn’t completely sold, it was still a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
