I saw it today, it wasnt the best movie, but I liked the originality of it
Scott Pilgrim Versus The World
- Thread starter Wonder Pigeon
- Start date
Yeah, I saw it Friday and was entertained by it. It was pretty good, not great, but pretty good. The visual effects were fantastic.
It seems this bombing at the box-office has left a horde of angry-dissapointed fanboys who have started a door-to-door movement to persuade people to watch the movie. Oh boy !!
Has anyone read the graphic novels? Since I don't think this is going to come to theatres where I live, I'll be on the lookout for the 'DVD' when it becomes available.

Yep, they are great.
Finally out in the UK. Going today for the first show. 
Go see it now.
It's brilliant.
Did nothing for me, sorry.
I wouldn't be that sceptical usually after watching trailers, but I will never watch this film after seeing them. I think it looks awful to be honest. It's probably better than it looks, but my mind is made up. Plus, there is absolutely no way my missus would go and see it with me, and I definitely wouldn't go on my own.
Didn't think it was anything special.
It's a pretty good film.
Have to say it looks like it'll be funny in bits but yeah...it looks like it's made for kids and incredibly gay. Like a shit(ter) version of kick-ass. Like something I'd reluctantly watch if I had to take my brother to the cinema or something.
Awesome movie.
Had my doubts at first but was wicked.

TW, are you Canadian, or am I thinking of something else?
I really enjoyed it, although not convinced that Cera was the best casting.
I'm Canadian!
Which you can clearly tell by the way he constantly sounds like he's posting from beneath 30 feet of snow.
Was it nice seeing Canada actually play Canada in a movie for once, rather than just pretending to be America?
I.. Didn't like it.
Some funny bits but I didn't really get it. I thought Kieran Culkin was the best thing about the film.
So, supposed to be going to the cinema later, and there doesn't appear to be much on...is this tolerable?
It looks like it might be watchable, depending on which side of annoying/funny a majority of the characters are. The lead actor (whoever he is) managed to annoy the feck out of me just from the two minute trailer though.

Twas fairly good.
Do you have Maple Syrup on everything, Noodle?
What the feck was that about?!!!!!!!!! I walked out!
It was good.
However if you don't like comic books then you probably shouldn't have wasted your time.
Never read the comics, but I found it original and entertaining enough certainly wouldnt walk out of it, although I could see someone doing that
I thought it was original and interesting and very funny in places, but Cera just freaked me out. And it was a one trick pony that got quite over played by the end. The best bits were the understated bits. The gay Culkin, some genuinely witty exchanges. But the fights/cameos/OCD OTT/Geek wish fulfilmentness got very dull.
Cera was funny, but also completely unconvincing as any kind of man. He's like some kind of freaky androgenous mouse thing. Believing any kind of relatively popular or attractive girl would have any kind of interest in him sexually was just laughable Let alone loads of them would. Or that he'd be the sort of alpha of his group. It's presumably yet another geek wish fulfilment fantasy, but it sort of makes it all a bit, sort of,...I dunno really, he just freaked me out.

At least you stuck with it. I had to walk out half way through.
I "bought a ticket" to "go and see this." Is it even worth watching?
To be honest actually, the End was the worst part. It just went on and on and was rubbish. Half way's about the right place to stop. The line "I have to pee on her" is the peak. It's just a man making a video game for the last half and hour.
Dunno. If you like geek boy revenge fantasy.
Has Michael Cera aged at all in the last 5 years?
Watched it. Nothing great really. Can't believe it's on 8.5 on IMDB
He probably has a had a pube or two grow in
I think I've had enough of the geek wins girl after a spasticated revenge fantasy to be honest. But even that didn't put me off, my main gripe was with the fight scenes, the gimmicky comic book style lettering after a sound or a thought - yes we get it, it's based on a comic book, but there's no need to ram it down our throats, and the pacing. I suppose it was aimed at the 16-21 age bracket.
I dunno anything about the comic so I can't really comment on what the character is supposed to be, but I didn't feel like Cera was it.
I assume he's supposed to be some kind of everyboy...Or something...probably? But Cera isn't an everyboy, he's an oddball. He's a sexless mouse. His timing is excellent and he makes a lot of what's funny about it funny, but he's...well he's a sexless mouse.
Also the fighting just went on and on and on and on and on and on and it was just gay in the end I agree Spoons.
I gave it a lot of leeway to being with cos I thought it was interesting, and I liked the way they went about making pretty much it's own unique little format, but it didn't go anywhere at all, just round and round and by the end, I really didn't give a flying shit. I'd have probably liked it more if I'd walked out half way.

I really enjoyed it
In the comic he's supposed to come off as a hipster who thinks he's the dogs bollocks but is actually a bit of a silly twat...Cera...isn't really the best casting for that.
Yeah, see, I did not get that.

P.S. Oh, and at least it wasn't a remake. So there.
