The books were better, but the movie was better than I could have hoped for. Especially since they started making it before the last book was even written.

I wish I could see it today but my theater is dumb here and won't get it for a few weeks. Also I have to work tonight so I can't go anywhere else to see it. Hopefully I get to see it sometime this week but no one around here wants to fuckin see it cuz they'd all rather see fucking Vampires Suck or some bullshit like that.

The people who made Vampires Suck are about as intelligent as dish soap.

i don't think he's that bad. He dure doesnt want to be type cast, but I wouldn't know who would play a character like scott better.

Saw it a few days ago, i really enjoyed it, i was surprised at how much was cut from the book, then again it was 6 books long and movie was only a couple of hours, so i dont know how much better they could have possibly compressed the story anyway. I want my own Ellen Wong's portrayal of Knives

Don't get me wrong, he's a great actor, but I just think his movies are starting to blend together.

But I guess if they had picked any other actor for his roles, the movies wouldn't have been as good as they were.

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

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.

And my friend showed me this.

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

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

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