The World's End (2013) ***1/2

The World's End (2013) was fun. Not in the same league as Shaun (2004) or Fuzz (2007) (or Scott Pilgrim (2010) or Spaced (1999-2001) for that matter), but still quite enjoyable. I liked seeing all the Spaced alumni make their appearances (particularly Mark Heap), but the cameos themselves weren't that great. I like that two James Bonds have now been in Edgar Wright films. I wasn't jazzed about the camerawork of the fight sequences, but the sequences themselves were good. I liked the Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1978) vibe. But this just wasn't as clever, funny or inventive as either of the other "Cornetto" films. I'm not really excited for Ant-Man either. I hope Wright surprises me, as he did with Pilgrim.
