The World's End

At the end of the day, The World's End doesn't actually need defending.

Simon Pegg's best Cornetto Trilogy character is in The World's End

There's a groundedness to Gary King, and I guarantee you've known someone like him, or maybe you've even been him. I know in my own life I've flirted with the mantle of the king, perhaps enjoying too many beers in an evening, living in the past, and sharing a penchant for long coats.

Simon Pegg would love to play Gary King again

Simon Pegg has played many iconic characters in his and Edgar Wright's movies. From a survivor in the zombie movie Shaun Of The Dead to a hardened cop in Hot Fuzz, Pegg has done it all. But out of all the roles he has starred in while working with filmmaker Wright, there is one he wants to revisit most of all - Gary King from the 2013 comedy movie The World's End.

Simon Pegg is fortysomething waster Gary King, who lures four school pals - Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine and Eddie Marsan - out of their humdrum daily lives to complete the legendary pub crawl they failed to finish 20 years before in their boring home town of Newton Haven. But the lads' night out turns into a home counties version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers in a very funny, observant tale of midlife crisis, aliens and beer, the final part of Wright and Pegg's Cornetto trilogy.

Film review: The World's End

Apparently critics were requested not to reveal "surprises, twists and actors" in the movie. Perhaps I read too many reviews from indiscreet reviewers as I didn't spot many surprises, but that didn't particularly dampen my enjoyment.

Review: The World's End

A little less colorful, a little less quotable, and a little less memorable than its older brothers, The World's End is a fairly entertaining, if stretched, final outing for the ice cream man-boys - though it's probably not quite the one you were hoping for.
