This film suffers the same problem as last year's (2012) Seven Psychopaths - huge expectations, poor satisfactions.
Out of many films this year, this films is still good. The dialogues are still sharp, the editing and special effects are top notch, and the soundtrack is wonderful. One thing that I would like to really mention here is the main theme of the film. Compared to Shaun and Fuzz, The World's End complex theme on youth and regrets are something rare and special.
However, compared to previous films of the Cornetto Trilogy, The World's End suffers from poor story and character development. The switching of Pegg's and Frost's character personality is a good attempt but unsatisfying. Not trying to contradict myself, the dialogues are sharp and fact pace but most of them are not funny. Smart, but humourless.
In summary, The World's End is a good chapter to end the Cornetto Trilogy but don't expect it to be as funny or as smart as Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.
