Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are back. The "Shaun of the Dead" team returns in Edgar Wright's "Hot Fuzz," a hysterical satire of overblown American action movies that reminds us what quality comedy should be.

Shaun of the Dead = quality

Hot Fuzz = mostly uninteresting. Had massive potential but it just wasn't realised. Didn't get too many chuckles from me this movie. Also the review is a little late, it's been in and out of the cinemas already in the UK.

It just came out here in the States, sorry Wolfy.

I just saw it last night. My take is pretty simple:
* Not as consistently funny or original as Shaun, but still very funny.
* A little too long.
* A better climax/ending than Shaun. The last 20 minutes of the movie was awesome. I haven't seen a comedy with a great ending like that in quite some time (most comedies these days fizzle in the third act).
