Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

I wouldn’t call it a spoof exactly. It’s heavily influenced by comics and video games, so there are a lot of pixellated effects, onscreen onomatopoeia, side captions, etc. (which is one of the funniest parts)

Oh, okay. :smiley:

I just came back from the theater and I thought it was great. I can see how it might not appeal to those outside the supposed demographic, but regardless I still think it was overall a great film. One of the best of the year.

Sorry for the double post! I know you’re supposed to edit, but I wasn’t sure whether this was a forum that qualifies edits as activity in topics.

I am incredibly disappointed that this movie is barely making any money. It’s one of the most inventive, hilarious, and amesome movies of the year. Really, go see it!

My friend and I are planning on seeing it this weekend.
I’m super excited for the movie! (and because me and my friend haven’t done anything alone in a long time.)

I haven’t read the comic books, but I really want to!

I definitely have to go see this movie after reading your reviews Bryko614 and FlyingGiraffe. I bet I will be in the target demographic :wink:

How have I not seen this thread yet?

I actually saw it twice, once with friends and once with my step brother. I have to say, this is probably one of the most awesome movies to come out in a long time. It’s really creative and it’s actually made me want to go out and buy all the comic books so I could read them all.

The only thing I didn’t like in the movie was [spoil]in the beginning with the credits and they’re playing their song. I mean, it just seemed to take forever. Then the scene where the first evil ex starts singing and stuff. My friend told me he actually does that in the comic books, so I guess it’s not so bad, but still, I would have liked it more if they just skipped that[/spoil]

mo: I didn’t really mind the intro considering I was so excited. I guess it’s a little long, though, but not really a big deal if you ask me. Patel’s song was better in the movie than in the comic too. In the comic Scott has a verse in the song which is a little ridiculous considering the whole song was unexpected. I’m fine with it in the movie.

If you haven’t read the comics, you have to check them out. They’re even better than the movie, IMO. They clear up some things and give a lot more insight into the characters.

Honestly, the intro was when I realized the movie was going to be awesome, even though the opening credits did take a while.

And I’ve bought/read the first three volumes, and I plan on buying the rest. The fights are a lot better in the movie, but the comics have more depth, though that’s not saying the movie didn’t have it’s fair share of that either.

I kind of want to see this, but honestly it was THIS which made me want to:

Avatar: TLA fans should like this! :smiley:

Curiously, the voice actress of Katara plays one of the evil exes!

Wow, that was epic. (instant favorite).
I haven’t seen the movie yet, but my mom got me the six books as an early birthday present because I’ve been begging her for them. Unfortunetally I can’t start reading them until I finish my school reading book, but I am super excited! :smiley:

I saw it today. It was indeed an “Epic of epic epic-ness”.
I loved it so much.
And at the beginning, when it [spoil]says “Toronto, Canada” onscreen[/spoil], several people in my theatre cheered.

I love Micheal Cera, he’s always playing awkward yet adorable and loveable characters, and Scott Pilgrim was no exception.

It’s so hard to pick a favourite part, but mine would have to be [spoil]everytime his hat randomly appears on his head,[/spoil] and [spoil] when he asks Julie “How are you doing that with your mouth?”[/spoil]

This movie was probably the best one I’ve seen in theatres this year, not including TS3, of course.

[spoil] Vegan Police.[/spoil]- That is all.

I’ve been itching to see this, but I still need to read the books, and that would put me on the “only read the books after the movie came out” associaton list, which I don’t like. Then again, being PG-13 I honestly doubt my parents would take me to see it anyway… :unamused:

Leirin: What. Aren’t you in college…? That’s what I always assumed, at least. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m younger than you, actually. :blush:

Leirin: Wow…I never would’ve thought that, honestly. You talk and act like an adult, have your own website, etc. I always thought you were roommates with Cafechan…:stuck_out_tongue:

Ha-ha! :stuck_out_tongue: Well, I’m flattered, actually. Cafechan’s in college now but she still lives at home with us. You talk and act a lot older than your age too. :wink:

It’s only PG here in Canada, that’s why my dad let me see it alone with a friend.

I thought it should’ve been PG-13, it was mildly adult, nothing too terrible, though.

It’d be kind of an awkward film to see with your parents, though.

I saw it yesterday with a friend, and I loved it. I loved the creativity of the fight scenes and the video game styles, as well as all the references. (My friend freaked out every time they mentioned the Chaos Theater, because she’s a huge Earthbound fan. XD) I also loved the quirky characters and how different their everyday lives are to the cartoonish style of the fight sequences.

I’m a fan of EB too, the Chao Theatre thing had to be pointed out to me by Bryko. :smiley: Some of the online ads were also using one of the fonts from EarthBound.
