Pros: Great cast, very funny
Cons: Not as much action as the trailer implies
Summary: Hot Fuzz is a hilarious British action/comedy from the same people who made Shaun of the Dead. It debuted in the UK on Valentine’s Day this year, then found its way to U.S. theaters one month later. While this movie hasn’t been as big a hit ... read more

Pros: Tongue in Cheek Humor
Good Action
Abbot & Costello/Odd Couple Charm
Cons: Excessive Gore
Profanity
Summary: To be honest, Shawn of the Dead was a guilty pleasure. When I heard that Simon Pegg & Nick Frost were teaming up for a second movie, I had no choice but to watch. Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is a brilliant officer. He's so good that his dependability ... read more

Pros: Funny, great acting
Cons: It's not perfect
Summary: With myself being half British, I've always been a huge fan of their humor. In my opinion, their comedies easily top the average American ones. Walking into Hot Fuzz, I was expecting a very funny film. Well, the flick didn't disappoint... After ... read more

Pros: Good story, good acting, and moderately funny.
Cons: Too much hype.
Summary: By the time I watched this movie, everyone and their kitchen sinks were telling me how funny this movie was. That truly ruined it for me, I think, because I came out saying, "Eh, it was okay." I LOVED Shaun of the Dead and hoped for more of the same ... read more

Pros: Fantastic Script + Great Performances by the entire wonderful cast, Very funny and entertaining
Cons: None - unless you consider some random gore a con.
Summary: For a change “Hot Fuzz” delivered much more than its marketing promised. This was a very pleasant surprise and in sharp contrast to another recent example of film marketing/reality, the very poor "
Fracture"

Pros: Great acting, hilarious dialogue and scenes
Cons: two movies in one, too many climaxes (good in other things but not movies)
Summary: I first became a fan of Simon Pegg with his critically-acclaimed Shaun of the Dead, which was a wonderful film but suffered a bit from feeling like two different movies smashed together. Even so, I enjoyed it enough that I couldn't wait to see ... read more

Pros: Consistency, script, direction, performances.
Cons: Takes its time ending?
Summary: I once wrote that S

of the Dead was the "funniest [movie] I've EVER seen, period." After seeing Borat, that's not so true anymore; plus Shaun's second viewing simply wasn't as good because I had ... read more

Pros: Action, Humor
Cons: Bllodshed, plot.
Summary: I saw this movie last week after much anticipation after seeing the previews. Myself being a Police Officer, I HAD to see this. I loved "Super Troopers" and figured this was going to be a spin off from this movie but a New England version instead. I ... read more

Pros: Pegg's poker-face expressions....violently happy shooting scenes
Cons: the action takes a mighty long time to happen...could've ended quicker
Summary: Sergeant Nicholas Angel(Simon Pegg)is such an exceptional policeman that his efficiency reflects badly on his peers. He is a serious man who tackles crime as if his life depends on it and by the end of "Hot Fuzz" absolutely nothing will change that ... read more

Pros: Most of the things
Cons: One or two minor things
Summary: I realise that I start off a lot of my writings here at Epinions by saying that I wanted to watch a certain film or movie but was not entirely sure what drew me to watch it. Again, Hot Fuzz is another film that, for some reason, I had intended to ... read more

Pros: Hilarious, surprising, crazy
Cons: A bit vulgar (in a good way)--not for kids
Summary: This movie starts out with some subtle humor and by the end builds to total, over-the-top insanity. If you liked the guys in Shawn of the Dead, these are the same guys, and you will like them even more in this movie. British comedy doesn't always
