They're all films that you can watch multiple times and will always pick up something new. And that is the mark of excellent writing.
Regardless of the story, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost always provide a great dynamic, and they do their best to give some variety.
In Shaun of the Dead, Shaun is somewhat mature, but lacks ambition, while Ed is a lot lazier and more vulgar and uncouth.
In Hot Fuzz, Nicolas Angel is good at police work but is also a socially inept workaholic with no sense of humour, while Danny is more laid back and affable.
In The World's End, Gary is essentially a perpetually adolescent, blathering screw-up, while Andy is a cynical professional.
In terms of ranking, it's safe to say that Hot Fuzz is the best film in the trilogy, followed by Shaun of the Dead and then The World's End. Despite it's place at the bottom, The World's End is by no means a bad film. I enjoyed it and I can still re-watch it. In fact, it's a much stronger story on the second viewing thanks to the foreshadowing jokes that are used in all three films.
Well, I'd better get back to my writing. I'll see you again soon.
