PenguinJoe gave it 1 star. I wish he'd post in the thread as to why he disliked it so much.

Re: The World’s End (Wright, 2013) — The Reviews Thread
 

i don't know about him. but the two previously mentioned i have noticed a pattern. they are predecessors of the formely known by me to post similar is ...well, they will remain nameless, i think.

i have actually e-mailed the mods relating to this matter to see if it is appropriate or not. If not, i will take it down...

Re: The World’s End (Wright, 2013) — The Reviews Thread
 

i honestly can't decide if i want to see this or You're Next first...

i have my ticket all set (free Kick-Ass 2 ticket, shhhhh!), but TWE might get the edge if my friend comes with me though it is later than i would like to see it and YN is a better time, but think TWE will end up winning in the end...

I'm seeing this Saturday morning.

My friend Aaron interviewed Pegg, Frost, and Wright in Austin not too long ago:

Re: The World’s End (Wright, 2013) — The Reviews Thread
 

I'm so giddy to see this tomorrow.

Re: The World’s End (Wright, 2013) — The Reviews Thread
 

Currently sitting at 96%

Re: The World’s End (Wright, 2013) — The Reviews Thread
 

i've been tracking it now for some weeks and the RT meter is actually going up. now, that is rare.

when i do these Reviews Threads i keep in-tune with these ratings and i admit i am a slave to them as well, but this is tracking better as it is seen and released. very unusual and mostly excellent.

Re: The World’s End (Wright, 2013) — The Reviews Thread
 

I bet PenguinJoe didn't even fucking see the movie.

Doesn't RockMJ also give everything 5 stars as well?

Re: The World’s End (Wright, 2013) — The Reviews Thread
 

Yeah it is. The movie has made about $13.5m in the UK since release, $14.5m total so far.

I'm glad it's getting a pretty good push in the US though I'm not sure how well it'll actually do. Budget was $20m USD.

Re: The World’s End (Wright, 2013) — The Reviews Thread
 

amended in OP. this shit is an epidemic and starting to piss me off!

Re: The World’s End (Wright, 2013) — The Reviews Thread
 

considering SotD and HF were moderate successes, not making huge money here, but making back their budget and then some, plus, finding its cult followings on home video releases (like my discovery with Shaun). i think this has better word of mouth, a little better reviews and should do the P&A budget no problem imo.

Re: The World’s End (Wright, 2013) — The Reviews Thread
 

We'll see how that turns out, both Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead wound up with 91% on rt. Fan of Spaced, loved Shaun, didn't care for Fuzz.

Re: The World’s End (Wright, 2013) — The Reviews Thread
 

that is exactly how i feel about that trilogy. Spaced was fun and the homages were priceless, but somethings didn't work. Shaun is one of my all-time favs and one of my comfort movies. and was very luke warm and mildly disappointed by the Fuzz.

Re: The World’s End (Wright, 2013) — The Reviews Thread
 

The rating on Rotten Tomatoes is only that high because dan30oly, Arpeggi, and PenguinJoe haven't been able to post their scores there either!
