There are approximately one metric butt-ton of movies that I am excited about this year, but I truly think that Edgar Wright’s conclusion to the Cornetto Trilogy stands at the head of the class. For me at least.
As someone who has been a fan of Pegg/Frost/Wright since “Spaced,” this movie feels like it’s going to be the last hurrah… It’s kind of like seeing your friends one last time before they move on to Marvel movies, or Star Trek movies, or Hobbit movies… for good. It’s amazing to watch people grow from tiny BBC sitcoms into wildly iconic characters and stories, but even more amazing when you feel like they’re making something for you. Not because they have to, but because they love doing it and want to. I wonder if the theme of the movie was intentionally reflective of this, but it really doesn’t matter because it’s perfect. And after seeing the trailer? I am 90% more excited and emotional.
