I just saw it. And it was great.

(minor spoilers)

Not as great as Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz? I don't know. Maybe. I might need to watch the whole Cornetto trilogy in a row for that. But in the end, I don't care much. The World's End made me feel safe in the hands of Wright, Pegg, Frost and the whole bunch. I felt home. I kinda knew what I was gonna get by watching a Wright movie, and I got it. The cinematography is great, the dialogues are sharp and funny, the characters well developed. The action is very present but not boring, the editing fast but comprehensible.

As such, The World's End lives up to being the last movie of the Cornetto trilogy; and as of now, I'll be happy to count this trilogy in one of my watch-them-once-a-year trilogies such as Star Wars or Lord of the Rings (the latter, maybe not every year; who's got time for that, eh?).

To address Jimmy's main problems with it:

Pegg's character did not annoy me negatively. It did, of course, as he's supposed to, but otherwise I loved him. I just needed a moment to get used to the fact that Pegg wouldn't be carrying the heroic part of the movie. His character (and therefore acting) is very much different than in the other two movies, and I'm happy either way. The whole character development kinda throws you off balance, because you'd expect the most development would come from Pegg's character; but somehow, he's not the one being dragged up; it's the others being dragged down.

The ending felt a bit odd to me too. It all makes perfect sense thematically, but it might be a bit too much. I don't think the movie needed to go that far to wrap up its message (which got a bit blurred to me at first, because the pre-ending seems to tell the opposite message). I think Wright wanted to go a bit nuts with it because it's the end of the Cornetto trilogy (speaking of which...).
