I can’t think of another writer or director who I think is less talented, makes more mediocre movies and yet continues to have a cult following than Edgar Wright. It’s bewildering to me that he’s popular. Most writers or directors I’m not a fan of who are popular, I tend to respect their skill and recognize that maybe their movies just aren’t for me. But not Wright. I think he just isn’t very talented. It’s been all downhill since Shawn of the Dead.

I think his movies after Hot Fuzz have become progressively more underwritten.
But we live in a world now where precious few film makers have any discernible visual style, and even fewer make movies where we can see what the #### is happening.
Wright has a great feel for images, and he films action in a coherent fashion (mostly).
He’s an average writer.
