Big fan of Edgar Wright's movies. He def. did the genre justice. Don't know too much about the comic book;just found out reading another review that this was based on a comic book. Don't need to know too much about the comic book to enjoy and know what's going on. Great cinematography. Excellent use of effects and sound. Who ever worked on the sound FX needs to win a award; it was genius. Characters were perfect. Decent back stories to some of the characters without losing too much interest. It was good to see kids and adults in the theaters watching this film. It was entertaining to kids and adults as well. Funny at times but not over the top. Good to see good music mixed with really cool action scenes. Worth taking a trip to the theaters on a Sunday afternoon.
