Y'all I really liked "The World's End." I think for entertainment quality and overall story it is the weakest of the trilogy, but I had a REALLY great time. If you plan to see the movie soon, please avoid all trailers. I saw one trailer and it didn't register what was going on but Beau was spoiled for certain things.
So I went into the movie completely unspoiled and I was so surprised at a turn in the plot that I screamed out loud in the theater (with all the other people in the theater as well!). It is a gift that keeps on giving.
I don't think Pegg and Wright know how to do endings really well, and so I wasn't thrilled with the ending - but I wasn't crushed either. I just think it could have had more punch. This is a minor point because the movie was just a delight. I think it might be my favorite or tied for my favorite movie this summer. It certainly has the most original story of any movie I've seen this summer. I would like to see it again because the acting was really really good and there are little things that I picked up but would probably like to notice a bit more thoroughly a second run through.
There are no scenes after the credits, so don't bother if you are so inclined.
Two thumbs up!
Hey, Matt Damon could be Robin.
That could actually save it.
I'm now crossing my fingers that Batman has a minimal role in the movie. Oh well, at least Affleck's a better actor than Tyler Hoechlin (even if you couldn't prove it by Daredevil...).
Zach Snyder directing Ben Affleck as Batman? Let me just preemptively gauge my eyes out, thanks.
This is how I feel. I don't plan on ever seeing anything Zach Snyder directs, ever. I saw Sin City (hated it) and Watchmen (meh) and I'm done.
I saw somewhere on the web that Katee sackoff might be considered for Harley Quinn.
I love Katee Sackhoff, but... not seeing it.
BOOOOO! BOOOO! BATMAN OF GARBAGE!
That's about right.
Zack Snyder didn't direct Sin City. Are you thinking of Sucker Punch? (Which I loathed.)
I saw one trailer and it didn't register what was going on but Beau was spoiled for certain things.
Heh, yeah, the trailer they showed at Comic-Con did spoil what I think Beau was spoiled about, so it's awesome that you didn't know about it.

Well, the other thing is that they're doing
The Dark Knight Returns.
So he's playing OLD Batman, which we've never seen onscreen before. Maybe he's the guy for that.
Huh. Why did I think he did? I did not see Sucker Punch. Checking IMDB, I've also seen Dawn of the Dead, which I didn't hate but so was not my beautiful zombie cake. I was literally nauseated from six minutes in.
Here's the AV Club take on Affleck as Batman - [link]
I actually loved his remake of Dawn of the Dead. But that's where my love ends with him, sadly.
Anyone want to chime in with beloved movies for back-to-school? Stuff like To Sir With Love and even School of Rock?
I have to write a thing.
I've got:
To Sir With Love
Dead Poets Society
School of Rock
Mr. Holland's Opus
Akeelah and the Bee
