'This is the End' has a higher rating... americans.


The World's End was refreshing, hilarious, deep, smart, dynamic and touching at the same time.

How the hell that stupid, pointless movie about idiot celebrities is better than this movie?
Pineapple Express was funny, but This is the End is not even close to it.

I also noticed a pretty big difference in age demographics comparing these movies. Maybe this explains everything.

I've seen both and I regard The World's End to be without a doubt much better. This Is The End has some very VERY funny LOL type of moments here and there. But The World's End is funny throughout.

and fwiw (which should be nothing) - I'm American

It's two very different styles IMO and some of the younger generation doesn't really understand At World's End (Which had almost a Goonies like feel to me). I just watched it with a couple of friends and neither of them seemed to find it all that entertaining... but they liked This is the End a lot. I really like them both, but At World's End hit me a little harder with it's messages. I really felt like a kid again watching it... This is the End didn't really do that. Also, I appreciated the humor in this movie, but I found This is the End more lol funny.

they were both sophomoric drivel, and if anyone finds anything "deep" or "smart" in them, well then that person must have the cognitive ability and education of an unintelligent 12 year old

Did you actually see This Is The End? I thought it was a pleasant surprise. I mean, I preferred The World's End but it had its moments. If you didn't laugh at at least a few things ("It's like Neapolitan ice cream"), then you must've gone into that movie wanting to hate it.

12 pages of responses, and only a few actually refer to the movies mentioned in the original comment. That says something....

Okay, we are two months along now, but... Well, let's just look at the ratings.

The World's End
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1213663/ratings?ref_=tt_ov_rt :
US users 10560 7.6
Non-US users 39874 7.1

Seems like US users rated the film higher than Non-US users, hm. And, well, just for fun, let's check out This is the End.

This Is the End
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1245492/ratings?ref_=tt_ov_rt
US users 28391 7.4
Non-US users 90205 6.8

And see that! US users also rated The World's End higher than This Is the End. Conclusion: never judge too hastily. And stop being petty.

Funny how all these "enlightened" people have so little to discuss aside from tedious America-bashing. I'm American, and yeah, we certainly do have our flaws, but from what I've seen, Euros are just as arrogant and so many of them bash the US, but have never met an American nor been to the States. So, please, ditch the righteous indignation because you're no better.
