Reviews

Poster	Movie	Year	Comments	Rating	Reviewer
	Shaun of the Dead	2004	A quintessentially British blend of horror and comedy, with plenty of pop culture nods and dozens of memorable scenes. Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright may have gone on to bigger movies, but there are few that hit the mark as well as their debut.	10	Mat
	Shaun of the Dead	2004	A fantastic debut that could easily have been a feature length episode of his hit TV show Spaced. Wright got in on the zombie genre before it became stale and delivered a superb send up.	8	Gordon
	Hot Fuzz	2007	Easily Wright's best film. Fuzz deserves to be listed with the best of British comedies, but it isn't just funny. It has action, fantastic lead performances, a great look and a brilliant script.	9	Gordon
	Scott Pilgrim vs. the World	2010	Can Edgar Wright do Hollywood? Thats a big fat yes. Playing up to it's target audience the film a breath of fresh air for teen hero movies.	8	Gordon
	The World's End	2013	Easilly the worst of the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, but still a good film with some very funny dialogue as a pub crawl becomes a mission to save humanity.	7	Gordon
	Baby Driver	2017	Stylish and entertaining, but light on character and plot. Another feather in Edgar Wright's cap, but too shallow to truly shine.	7	Gordon
	Baby Driver	2017	Packed with stylish set-pieces and cool songs, but they just serve as a distraction from the fact that the story is both simple and predictable. A reasonable action thriller but nothing more.	6	Mat
