Went to see this sunday night. My opinion is that whjile it wasn't quite as good as Shaun Of The Dead, it was still bloody brilliant. Bear in mind the fact that I cansider Shaun to be one of those rare things - an absolutley flawless movie. Hot Fuzz provides many, many laugh out loud moments. However, I don't believe it will translate as well for our American friends. With Shaun, it was obviously recognisable as an open love letter to Romero's "of the Dead" movies, however, with Hot Fuzz's rural countryside location and very strong Bristolian accents (which for me provided many of the laughs by themselves, being from that area originally and once having that farmers twang) I feel some of the homour may be lost on American audiences.

So, like a said, not as good as Shaun, so a piss poor 9.5 out of 10.....Simon and Edgar must try harder
