Edgar Wright Reads Your Shaun of the Dead Reviews

[@jeremyhawkins5278]

Edgar Wright is the first person I've seen do this who didn't see 3-3½ star reviews and comment on how they're low. King who understands that 3½ stars is a good score especially when you read the review and its positive

[@lizwithoutbuildings]

3 1/2 stars + the heart button is actually the best rating you can give a film on letterboxd icl

[@jairaugusto9289]

or maybe he's not in the mood to pretend to be upset about some random person's review. I mean I wouldn't be if I made so many great movies.

[@Largentina.]

The person that said this movie deserves all the stars but only gave it 3 1/2 stars is.......interesting.

[@kingofpointless]

I strongly relate to a Letterboxd review I once read for Hot Fuzz (I went looking for it again but can't find it, so apologies for not crediting it), which went something like "Edgar Wright, if you're reading this, would you please be my friend?".

[@FilmObsessedLucy]

An honor to mentioned amongst the reviews here !! Never thought one of my most influential filmmkaing inspirations would ever read one of my reviews !! Hearing my name be uttered by Edgar Wright might be a Top 5 life experience !!

[@drakeburnett7254]

I’m as shocked as you are that one of my closest friends got mentioned by Edgar Wright.

[@generichuman2044]

I am so glad this man is creating movies. Everything he makes is just so fun. It's brilliant film making but not in a pretentious way. You enjoy every second of your first viewing and then on your 2nd or 3rd viewing you realise what made you enjoy it

[@typhoonthunder]

Edgar Wright is such a treasure man. His films are unironically great ways for people who only watch animated movies to get into live-action films, since a lot of them are practically IRL cartoons

[@VivianTheKittian]

eyyyyyy typhoon

[@pickupsomemilk]

There are people who only watch animated films?

[@galactic85]

I'm sorry....what? I've heard of people refusing to watch abinated stuff because they think animation is "for kids" but I have never heard of the opposite happening.

[@hiimandiandi]

hello lust letter guy

[@koberhoads]

​@@galactic85and Edgar Wright just did it lol

[@ND-kh5yw]

Shaun of the Dead is my favourite movie of all time. I always thought i didnt have a favourite but every time i get asked the question, Shaun is the first movie to come to mind every single time. Thank u Edgar im gonna meet you one day

[@ZaneTalks392]

Bro can relate to his childhood confusion about the name Sean. Can’t tell you how long it took for someone to finally tell me it wasn’t pronounced “Seen” Bean 😂

[@LuckySmurf]

I thought I was alone in pronouncing the spelling of Sean as "Seen".

[@AbrasiousProductions]

Edgar is such a lovely person, his passion for cinema glows through him, he's 50 years old now and still hasn't lost an ounce of energy, god bless him✝❣

[@isistf9038]

Edgar Wright is a genius, can't wait to see his next projects

[@P.S.Leviews]

I’m so glad that missing patch of hair on Nick Frost has finally been answered

[@RedbullSW]

I may not fully love some of his films, but I fully appreciate all of the amazing work for all of them. He is a genius

[@JustCallMeMeghan]

One of the BEST extra features I've ever seen on any DVD were the pop-up fun facts, Pop-Up Video style during the movie. SO much fun to read about BTS and cool little easter eggs while watching the movie.

[@DavieTheRay]

One of my favorite nights I ever experienced was seeing shaun(my childhood favorite movie), Hot Fuzz, any the world's end, for the midnight release. I'm ready to see what they do together next.

[@Luca0326]

I love Edgar Wright’s movies, he is a genius director!😉🤩 I’m really happy to see him in a Letterboxd video!😊

[@13thvoz]

This guy makes honest films. Others make better films or flasher films. But never have i watched his movies and felt like the guy behind them didn't fucking love his shit to death. It really shows. Didn't like Shaun for a total of ten minutes (not into zombies) but it's humor without being postmodern won me over and then some. I now love it.

[@johnmcternan4157]

Yeah I've never watched a film of his where I felt like he wasn't doing exactly what he wanted to do.

[@tapanjoshi7710]

Absolute legends! What a great time to be alive we can experience such excllence in comedy and cinema!

[@andyptv1996]

I was a child when this movie came out and I absolutely loved it. Now I'm a year younger than Shaun is in the film and still love it and rewatch from time to time. It is a bit alarming how instead of thinking of Shaun as a complete loser, I know relate to him a LOT.

[@basti.9022]

You're one of the greats Edgar❤

[@Mystical_Luna]

Can't wait for my viewing next month on the big screen.

[@faselblaDer3te]

The best contemporary filmmaker - change my mind

[@SuperDesignermatt]

My School and town is immortalised in The Worlds End. This Trilogy has a lot of places in it that hold memories for me.

[@BillySotherden]

I've always noticed that patch of hair missing in Nick Frost's head, glad to hear it wasn't crazy when I thought, 'that looks like the Jackass clippers skit', specifically when Knoxville was given the pleasure.

[@MrWachipibes]

one of my favorites films ever, love you Ed thanks for that film

[@skilledarma]

Saw it the other day, thought I noticed blood on the floor in the shop but I wasn’t sure until now!

[@lp3266]

Please make a thousand videos with Edgar Wright

[@tomsco7]

My favourite comedy, love it

[@FXCartel]

Just watched the 20th anniversary and can confirm the blood is on the floor 😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@makinbacon415]

edgar wright is such a cool dude

[@N.E.U.R.O]

Shaun of the Dead has to be THE BEST zombie movie, it sure kicks the piss out of 28 days later

I wish they would bring it back in theaters sadley i havent seen anything i thought it was

They are, maybe not in your town, though.

Yo Adi Cohen getting a shout out from Edgar Wright, lol! Nice review guy!

[@thevoid99]

i'm glad to know that i'm not the only person that liked "second coming". it is a good album by the stone roses.

[@kJ922-h3j]

It’s crazy that somehow Hot Fuzz might even be slightly better than this masterpiece, you have to watch it many times before you may think that though 😂

[@Largentina.]

Agreed. The first three times I watched Hot Fuzz, I thought it was alright. Now, I think it's his best movie by a mile. I like everything he touches for the most part though.

[@koberhoads]

​@@Largentina.Indeed, just an amazing director.

[@AbrasiousProductions]

I've seen shaun & fuzz about the same times and I still think shaun's the best one, they're equal in quality to me but I love shaun of the dead much more and it remains as my favorite film of all time❣

“FASCIST!”👵🏻

damn i always loved this movie, gonna see the remaster soon

[@giladamotz5737]

"new version"..?! REMASTERING?? Yes! I've been waiting for this news. The current 4K edition wasn't satisfying.

0:33 I'd always thought he slipped on blood since there's a bloody handprint on the fridge door?

[@applejayz1987]

Thats the idea in the scene, but irl while filming the floor was clean, and he just acted like he was slipping

[@lema0925]

I think YT knows that my dad and I went to JB-HI-FI and got Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz

[@marinebymistake]

I wish Edgar got back to making movies like this one and other two from the trilogy. Baby Driver was good too, but his last two movies were definitely not my cup of tea

[@gghhghhh9742]

whats with the sound effects at the end

[@JR-hf4xy]

I love the man but I wish he and Pegg got together again to write a screenplay. I thought Baby Driver and Soho's scripts weren't as good or tight as the ones they did together

[@sullydogg]

Haven’t seen the new version but has he edited so Shaun actually slips on something?

[@FilmSpherewithBrianHogue]

Where’s baby driver two Edgar?

[@redundantbadger]

My name isn't "Seen"

[@aoifefioa]

8:58 It’s an Irish name so it doesn’t follow the pronunciation rules of English… they are different languages Edgar… 😅

[@dav1dpri0r]

32 seconds in, anyone seen what he is talking about?

[@Tomismyusername]

I used to know a lad who was Edgar Wright's voice twin. He joined our halls of residence mid-way through our first year at University in Preston. Absolute f*cking psychopath. He had massive PTSD from fighting in some corner of the Middle East and veered from intense manic happiness to flat-out violence so unpredictability that the whole floor avoided him for six months. He would regularly shout obscenities in the corridor and smash shit up. Once, a mate scraped "child killer" into his door and it nearly caused WW3. Anyway, I'm ashamed to say that, because of Edgar Wright's voice being so similar, I developed an unreasonable dislike for him (in spite of his excellence and skill as a director).

[@zea9901]

its more fun when they read reviews with low ratings :(

[@sandrobata6913]

Edgar Wright has an account on letterboxd, right?

[@Marienbad1895]

Seeing all these 3.5 ratings hurts my soul. “Shaun” is a 5 star film through and through

[@AbrasiousProductions]

I remember claiming in my review of Wanda (1970) that it was artistically vacant and some twat came in the letterboxd comments and said "artistically vacant? you're favorite movie is shaun of the dead" as if to imply that film is artistically vacant😂

[@snowfrosts]

"I guess Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are also the people's princesses." so true edgar 🫡

[@januarybaby1063]

So much British hate, sad to see

[@AbrasiousProductions]

I never understood that, I love the British, I wish I was British, they have a better voice, better culture, better media, I feel boring for being american :(

[@januarybaby1063]

@@AbrasiousProductions That's sweet, thanks - I think it started with the narrative that the British have stolen culture from around the world during the British empire, - stolen artifacts, stolen wealth even stolen culture etc etc, which is such a broad and incorrect characterisation of what the UK has brought to the world.

[@legnaevar]

It's a shame Letterboxd has basically just become Twitter for movies, aka a place to shitpost.

[@pignna]

i think as long as the toxicity stays out of it it’s a good thing, most people that are on letterboxd aren’t critics so the lack of seriousness makes it more fun

[@AbrasiousProductions]

as someone who puts effort into my reviews and makes them sentences long every time, it's a massive peeve to see people type nothing but a glorified comment and call it a review, those ones are the most popular too, meanwhile the reviews I put effort into are barely recognized.. saying something like "that's relatable, I like his shirt" is not a review, that is a statement, a review is specifying why you like or dislike a film, breaking it down, analyzing it. sickens me to see people think they're films critics when they aren't even novices.

[@theminstryoftruth61]

Not one bad review?

[@delirium-d8r]

Shaud of the Dead wasn't that good.

[@Largentina.]

Then why are you watching a video that celebrates its 20th anniversary?

[@kamandi1362]

I think it’s very good although it wouldn’t make my top three of Edgar Wright films.

[@generichuman2044]

Any reasoning or we leaving it at that?

[@Poetically_Incorrect]

shawn of the dead is a 5/5 in any book of any language. it's perfect.
