I don't necessarily disagree with what he said but, given some of the films he's appeared in over the years, he comes across as a hypocrite. Or maybe he simply thinks Hot Fuzz and Run, Fatboy, Run fit the definition of "challenging, emotional journeys".

5. Hot Fuzz is a great movie. Just watched it last night.

Although as much as I love pretty much everything Simon Pegg is in, I'll have to disagree with him here. Most of the people I know who are Marvel and DC fans are more intelligent and informed than people who don't watch these movies.
