Late night gobble
   
Watched this movie last night, I didn't want to but I am glad I did as it is one of the best movies I have seen in ages. Lots of great one-liners, brilliant casting - a very fun movie.

British, not American - trust me
   
The very reason this film will hit its target with some is because of its British humour. Ken (Bunbury, WA) who says that this film has a 'really American flavour to the humour', is way off the mark. In fact, if anything, "Hot Fuzz" goes out of its way to mock the Americanisation of cop films. Everybody is entitled to an opinion, and for what it's worth, I didn't find it as hysterical as some, but it's about as American as Osama bin Laden.

If only all cops were like this
   
Everything is not as it seems in the quiet English country side. A highly enjoyable film that everyone should see. A bit slow to get into it, but great nonetheless. Not as funny as "Shaun of the Dead" but still stands on its own.

Funny all the way through
   
I really enjoyed this movie and agreed with the views of many reviewers about the endless amount of gags that left me laughing hysterically. I found it enjoyable from start to finish and didn't even notice the so called gory bits. I loved the performance of the actors in "Hot Fuzz" who also do a great job on their TV series "Spaced".

Great two hours of hilarity
   
A fun police action thriller that masterfully combines great laughs with seriously good action and thrills. Well worth checking out.

Passes the time
   
Get past the slathering, adulatory rants by the fanboys and girls and you'll find a film that passes the time adequately enough - mains problems are length and the directing style of Edgar Wright - yes, jump cuts, crash zooms and whip pans are lovely, but he's overegged the pudding on this one, or pehaps showed his limitations?

Good but not worth five stars
   
I enjoyed the movie and the humour in it. Being a creative person myself, it appealed to me to do something different to the 'norm' BUT it wasn't as good as the trailers talked it up to be.

Funnier than 'Kenny'
   
One of the funniest movies I have seen in years and clever to boot. Thoroughly entertaining. Funnier than "Kenny" and way funnier than "Shaun of the Dead" (which I thought was a bit lame).

More than just funny
   
Forget the funny bits, after all you see most of them in the trailer. What makes this film stand out is the brilliant editing and sound effects. It's a visual feast as you watch the mundane parts of Nicholas Angel's day whizz before your eyes like they have fast forwarded the film so you can enjoy the clever stunts and general craziness of "Crocket and Tubbie" as they chase down a swan and a grim reaper.
This film is overflowing with British acting talent, from Jim Broadbent to Steve Coogan, the amount of familar faces is endless. Even our own Cate Blanchett gets to join in the fun. It's clear all the actors are having a great time and you will too.

Caught by the fuzz
   
This is the best new film I've seen in 2007. There was so much to keep me entertained. The comedy, the action, the awesome soundtrack. It had everything I look for in a movie. Back of the net!

So disappointing
   
Don't bother. What a disappointing film after "Shaun of the Dead". It is very unfunny with a really American flavour to the humour, which is very heavy-handed with a coating of unnecessary sentimentality in the relationship of the Sargeant to his fat Constable. The only real laughs in the theatre were from a group of 18-year-old yobbos.

Really silly
   
So is this what we have to look forward to from the British film industry? Could this be the new wave? I would have been bored except for the base soundtrack wake up calls. I smiled a few times, but no genuine laugh out loud moments. No one else in the theatre laughed. It's just really silly stuff.

Great British humour
   
If you understand the Poms and their picture perfect country towns and like a good dose of British humour and madness, this is a must see!

Hot stuff
   
A very funny film with some great one liners and a good story to go with it. I am a great fan of the leading two after seeing their earlier film, "Shawn of the Dead". Bring on more please!

Hilarious, gruesome
Hilarious, gruesome, fantastic. Be sure to take a friend so you can continue to laugh about it once you leave the cinema.

Stop reading this right now
Do yourself a favour. Stop reading this right now, and go out the door and straight to your nearest Cinema. This is hands down one of the top 5 movies this year. Fantastic cast and storyline from one of Britain's most talented comedy writers. If you liked this movie, try and find yourself a copy of Simon Pegg's comedy series 'Spaced'. It only went for 2 seasons in the UK and was a cult classic.

Midsomer Murders meets Rambo
"Midsomer Murders" meets "Rambo". The best action-packed movie and funniest comedy I have seen for years. If this movie doesn't attract an Oscar in every category, there is something wrong.
Simon Pegg becomes increasingly attractive as the plot unfolds. Excellent casting - Bill Nighy is a star as usual. A must see.

Slow and boring
   
"Hot Fuzz" is meant to be a comedy, so I waited for the humour but never came! A slow and very average story line with no real point to the movie. If you are into British films, you may enjoy it but I can't comprehend how this movie has been given 5 stars.

West Country Gone Wild
   
I'm from the West Country, UK where the movie was set. Only wish the mayhem in the movie was true. Loved the movie. Go and see it it will give any Hollywood action films a run for their money!

I'm hot for the Fuzz
   
I was at the Melbourne launch of "Hot Fuzz", and it was a huge hit with the crowd. There are consistent laughs throughout the film with lots of in-jokes, references and cameos, and some thumping action sequences. Yes, there's some gore as well, but it's done in a very humourous way as it was in "Shaun of the Dead". There are also a couple of dramatic and touching moments to balance it all out. I absolutely loved the movie, and I was lucky enough to meet Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright afterwards. They're incredibly lovely guys who deserve all the success that this movie will receive. Go and see "Hot Fuzz"; it rocks!!

Really Hot Fuzz
   
One of the best films I have seen in a long time and I watch a lot. Just sheer class with the characters and one-liners, especially the in-jokes about so many other films. One for all ages, to be enjoyed any time of the day. Roll on "Hot Fuzz 2"!

Bloody brilliant
   
I have been waiting for this film to come out for over a year and was not disappointed. It was 'bloody brilliant.' Pegg as the straight man was an enjoyable revelation and Nick Frost along with a fantastic cast kept the comedy flowing. The sharp and fast editing style that Wright and Pegg are known for continues to amaze and add so much to the film. The blood, the gore, the growingly absurd ending was fantastic to watch and I can't wait to see the whole thing again.

The fuzz are packing
   
Awesome movie! Had everything in it, lots of action and laughs. If you enjoyed "Shaun of the Dead" go out and watch this one. You won't stop laughing.

Here come the fuzz!
   
This was the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. It begins with just quaint humour, but then adds the lovable gore of the "Shaun of the Dead" team. I thought my sides were going to split! I encourage everyone to go and see it.

Fuzz-o-rama
   
What a great movie. Where's all the hype? This is a must-see movie. If anyone enjoyed "Shaun of the Dead" then you'll love this movie. I can't believe this isn't all over town, it was awesome! I laughed the entire time. Go the Fuzz!
