The World's End is the prototypical comedy for today's generation. Start strong give half an effort in the middle and flush it down the toilet in the end. The ADHD generation needs only to laugh two or three times in the first few frames and their hooked.
Quirky in that everything is foreshadowed in one way or another, it still misses the mark and feels like a bad Shaun of the Dead remake...which is brilliant. The movie is laugh out loud funny for the first 25-30 minutes and laughs continue, right up until the Pierce Brosnan scene. The jokes then become predictable and silly. The greatest saving grace is that the entire cast is likable beyond belief. Pegg & Frost have incredible chemistry and the others feed off of them.
In all, a letdown, but for fans of the trilogy, it's a must.
