Finally watched this last night and I really enjoyed it. This is the first Pegg/Frost film I've ever seen, and they're spectacular as was the rest of the cast. I enjoy Kristen Wiig immensely, and she was great in her role.
So, yeah, what did you guys think of the movie? It was A LOT better than I was expecting it to be, by far.

It's not awful, but it's a huge drop in quality from their usual fare.

I enjoyed it a lot.
And on another note, OP, your sig is seizure inducing. You need to put a warning for us epileptics.

It was very funny. Deserves to have a spot with their movies with Edgar Wright as far as I'm concerned. And I loved how they made the inevitable Aliens reference when Sigourney Weaver showed up.

I enjoyed it. It would not be one of my all-time favorite films, but it is a solid one.

I enjoyed it. Overall, it's not as good as the Edgar Wright films though.

I enjoyed it. Overall, it's not as good as the Edgar Wright films though. This. There's something magic about the "Cornetto Trilogy" that isn't there in "Paul". I suspect that it's all three of them together that make those films special. Talking of Pegg & Frost, I still have that Spaced boxset somewhere. I shall have to watch that again...

The one thing I really loved about this film is the fact that they are geeks is not a joke. They just happen to be guys who went to comic-con and had a good time. Any other film would have had a million gags of "Har har, these guys are nerds!"

It was okay I guess. A bit on the nose too often, and definitely wouldn't put it up against the Cornetto trilogy.

Any other film would have had a million gags of "Har har, these guys are nerds!" This! It's pretty touching actually. Anyways thought the movie was great. My ranking of all the Pegg/Frost films 1. Shaun of the Dead 2. The Worlds End 3. Paul 4. Hot Fuzz

It was ok; didn't seem like nearly as good as it should have been with the talent involved, but it was worth a watch once.

If your not aware of the gags they're based off of, the movie is still enjoyable.

Enjoyed this film a lot, actually. However, no reference to Jason Bateman's character in this movie? He's was pretty badass and awesome.

Very good film. It wasn't as good as Hott Fuzz or Shaun but, I'd put it above World's End.
