	Author	Review
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"Wright spends enough time sketching out his mischievous middle-aged men so that their journey...feels worthwhile and even meaningful for a few of them"	POS
United States	Leslie Felperin Variety	"Highly enjoyable. (...) A fraction less gut-bustingly goofy than its predecessors"	POS
United Kingdom	Tom Huddleston Time Out	"This is a tighter, smarter film than either 'Shaun of the Dead' or 'Hot Fuzz' and (...) is a heartfelt meditation on the perils and pleasures of nostalgia (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Mark Dinning Empire	"Bravely refusing to rigidly adhere to a formula that has been so successful, Wright, Pegg and Frost’s Cornetto Trilogy closer has tonal shifts you won’t expect, but the same beating heart you’ve been craving (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"'The World’s End' is a fitting end to the trilogy: it is by turns trashy, poignant and gut-bustingly funny, and often all three at once (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Edgar Wright/Simon Pegg/Nick Frost have become a comedy brand to rival Richard Curtis/Hugh Grant. They've done it by making comedies with real laughs (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"'The World’s End' completes a cycle begun with 'Shaun of the Dead' and continued in 'Hot Fuzz' that blends genre parody, snappy verbal humor and sublimely preposterous action-movie mayhem"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"To my surprise, a diamond has emerged from the gutter. Its name is 'The World's End', and it'll knock your on you ass from laughing when you're not rubbing your eyes in disbelief (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
