Movie Review: Hot Fuzz

For those unfamiliar with Hot Fuzz, it was made by the same people who made Shaun of the Dead. For those unfamiliar with Shaun of the Dead, well....


Cute Persons to look at (0-5): 1. Not so cute people to look. Appealing, sure, but no one to drool over.

A Satisfying Ending (0-5): 5. I love it when movies are all wrapped up in a little package! Plus, the good guys win--which is even better!

Action/ adventureness (0-5): 5. The whole thing is action adventure. Lots of car chases and shoot-em-ups.

Love storyness (0-5): 0. I don't recall any love story. Mostly driving and shooting, with a some British humor thrown in.

Good Scaryness (0-5): 0. No scaryness. It's an action movie with a tongue-in-cheek stab at cop movies. Good, not scary.

Kissing (0-5): 0. No kissing. Yep, not much more to say there

Cinematography/Special Effects (1-5): 3. Well shot, good scenery, lots of movement. No special effects, but they weren't missed.

Extra Credit (Max. 10 points): 3. I'm really not sure why. Maybe because it lost points on love story and kissing, but that loss shouldn't really be reflected in the total score, because the movie wasn't really about kissing and such? I'm not really sure.

Plus, I'm in charge of awarding points and I can do as I please.

Total: 17/35. Good! If you liked Shaun of the Dead you'll like it. If you didn't, you probably won't. If you haven't seen SotD, give it a try.
