I can't see why people are writing off World's end because of 2 minute trailer of a film where they are clearly keeping stuff back.
Because the entire purpose of trailers is to make you want to see the product, and it didn't have a single funny moment! I can't see why people don't understand that personally.

The Hot Fuzz trailer doesn't have many funny moments in it yet I find the film hilarious mainly because of the editing, style and the context of the whole movie. If I hadn't watched it and someone showed me little tidbits I probably wouldn't raise a smirk. These films are known to be funny but they aren't known to be based on purely one-liners and comedy set pieces.
Shaun sort of does but that is far more of a conventional comedy than HF.
I laughed at the fence-jump callback from TWE trailer but not anything else but I still thought the film would be really good because it is 99% likely it will be in the exact same style as Hot Fuzz, Shaun and Spaced.
I totally get that it might well be a hilarious film when it does come out, but I just don't think it's at all unfair for people to start forming preliminary opinions when the thing that's supposed to make people want to see the film achieves the opposite result.
Are folk really judging the movie based on a short trailer?
No. Almost everyone is discussing past films by the same director. At the time of your post, I don't see any criticisms about the new film at all. Thunder Lips said the trailer had no jokes: that was about the trailer, not the film.

Who is doing that? Several of us have said we liked Shaun of the Dead, but didn't like any of his later films. That track record is a valid reason for being less than enthusiastic about his newest attempt. Especially as the trailer does nothing to suggest it will be different or better.

I agree that the editing is a key factor (especially in Hot Fuzz, which I find funnier and funnier the more I watch it). TWE has a different editor from all the others though, so it will be interesting to see how that works...

When they work together it's pure gold (fried gold at that).

And neither does the entire film
Delboy was rude to me too when I said I didn't like the trailer.
See post #7.
I'd hate to see what you're like when you're in a serious discussion and someone tries to apologise for something.

ant and dec
hale and pace

It does to me. And many many other people.
Wish they'd repeat it.
