Saw it with my girlfriend last night.
I liked the movie, but I still don't think Cera was the right person to play Scott Pilgrim. I don't mind the guy, I just don't really think he was a good match for the character.
I was impressed by how much they cut out of the movie and still manage to keep it cohesive. I guess most of the stuff they cut out (most notably whole characters) was just in there for extra drama in the book that wasn't really necessary for the book.

She said she would see and hear Cera in her nightmares that night.
odd

shura

well tbh even tho this kid got the ending wrong or whateva i think the actual ending is pretty weak
i mean i couldnt honestly think of a better way to have ended it but it is just sorta a boring ending (spoilers: it all works out in the end woop de ding)
ps its really annoyin how people keep bitching about how all the characters are hipsters or whatever

also wow those are some cool spritesdfnh

My siblings are already crazy about the game. My sister got scared off by the art/layout of the graphic novels, but the game and the animation is luring her back.

I like how they used the graphic novels as direct reference.

Something about too much text in such tiny boxes, she says.

its a comedy film its not like its going to end on a bad note or something

it was a really cool movie. the plot wasn't exactly generic as much as the sequence of events were (like OH I WANT THIS GIRL I NEED TO FIGHT FOR HER THEN IT ALL WORKS OUT) but i think the whole point was it being whacky quirky and stylish

billy

The movie equivalent to ordering steak at a fancy restaurant and getting a huge pile of twizzlers

jjjjjjjjjj

everyone agrees billy is wrong and we are great

You guys only like the movie because you were suckered in by flashy visuals I swear.

Ramona is nearly robotic and completely lacks any appeal in the movie. Maybe the graphic novels are better and have character and plot development that makes you appreciate the movie better, but I sort of doubt it. Dur hur she has colorful hair, this is an endearing personality trait.

Quote from: texasseriously like worst metaphor award 2010

No one has given me any rebuttal to the assertion that there is no plot or character development. There are fundamentals of storytelling that simply aren't fulfilled in the movie.

Quote from: texasi always go to stylistic action/comedies expecting to see substance BOY WAS I DISAPPOINTED!!! instead of getting deep drama and social commentary i got a funny action-packed visually amazing movie!!!!! this is more disappointing than that time i went to see There Will Be Blood expecting to have a riotous good time and some good chuckles but i didnt get a single laugh out of it!!!! jeeze what is it with hollywood these days..., gosh...,.,.
I'll bet you loved Transformers.

i think people who read the comics probably liked the movie more than people who didn't

like i never read the comics and i have zero interest in seeing the movie

jjjjjjjjjj

is that because micheal cera/tagline/bein edgy?

also i think the comics are OK but honestly see it as a edgar wright film i dont see why people have to see a film on an adaptation theyve already read

billy

I love Edgar Wright and the visual style and direction of Scott Pilgrim but as a story it was a mess. On a script level.
