    The Start of Something Brilliant
    I thoroughly enjoy this movie but in my opinion it is not quite as good as everyone makes it out to be. The plot is brilliant and although I didn't particularly like the ending on first veiwing, I can completely see why it is doen that way. The cinematography is brilliant with Edgar Wright's signiture style all over it. I find this film to be very funny, although not as funny as the other two cornetto movies. Another thing I enjoy about the film is just how brilliantly British it is. One of the ideas that spawned this movie was the question: what if there was a zombie apocolypse in Britain where guns are not nearly as readily available to the public. It's really interesting premise and the British humour is great. I highly reccomend, 8/10.
