Hot Fuzz was good

There was no way the guys from Shaun of the Dead were going to have the kind of big success and surprising charm the second time around. "Hot Fuzz" is no "Shaun of the Dead."

The over arching story is more preposterous than the dead coming back en masse. The best cop in England is getting sent to the quietest suburb because he's showing everyone in the big city up. It is tough to see Shaun from the appliance store as the toughest cop in all of England, but he does a good job of playing the part.

I loved the sudden couple of moments of gore in an otherwise gore-free movie and story-line. I want people to see this film unprejudiced, so will simply say it was not as good as Shaun of the Dead, but it was very enjoyable to watch the battle against the suburban archetypes towards the end of the film.
