About this movie

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost reteam with director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) in this wildly entertaining thrill ride that critics call "funny as hell" (Richard Roeper, WLS-AM Chicago) and "sheer comic perfection" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone). Twenty years after their first epic pub crawl attempt, the "five musketeers" reunite in their home town to complete the ultimate challenge -one night, five friends, twelve bars -a boozy quest on which only the strongest will survive. But after a bizarre series of encounters with the out-of-this-world locals, they soon realize that reaching their final pub, The World's End, may be the least of their troubles. They're having the time of their lives, ready to take on the world...but tonight they may have to save it.

Ratings and reviews

As much as I love Simon Pegg and Nick Frost this movie isn't the best showcase of their talents. It's funny but just not as good as Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz or even Paul. If you're a big fan of these guys like me you'll enjoy it. Just don't set your expectations to high.

I thought Shaun of the Dead was great and Hot Fuzz was fantastic. This was mediocre at best. I found very few scenes funny. It was like they were looking for a huge display of fireworks for a finale and only came up with a couple of bottle rockets.

I am a big fan of the actors in this film so I bought the movie sight unseen. The trailer was the funniest thing about the whole movie. It was a drunk movie as in most of the time you watched the actors play drunk. The storyline was weak and overall very disappointing. It could have been so much better. It should have been better. Keep your expectations low and you might do okay.
