After reading the first two books today at work I can safely say that if this movie is anything like the books it's going to suck major donkey balls.

I dunno... a girl with that many violent ex boyfriends (and girlfriend)?

Sounds like her emotional baggage would be the biggest foe to overcome than her exes! I mean, I just can't suspend by belief enough to not see Scott is the "safe" rebound placeholder for about 6 months.

Then he's going to be Ex #8 battling her next violent boyfriend.

You probably hit the nail on the head dude. Personally when I see a girl that dates violent angry jackass suitors usually dates at least one dork but half the time it's just a phase to date someone safe before being seduced by another jerk.

Good to see Canada playing Canada. USA is already playig USA. We need countries playing another roles.

I am now hooked for this. And it is quite something because any kind of romance, fictional or not tend to transform me in a pool of vile hatred with dreams of bloody murder.

Yes, I am envious and bitter. Working on that.

The movie was ridiculous, but that's entirely the point. My favorite part was Matthew Patel and his demon hipster chicks.

Well, I saw this a couple of hours ago and I was a tiny bit disappointed. The film was incredibly fun, Wright's stylization was incredible, it was genuinely funny and also the fight scenes and action were epically cool.

However, I have to disagree with Bob's assessment of a "genuinely intelligent romantic comedy" I didn't really see anything other than "guy loves girl, has to fight for her against her 7 exes to gain her love", this seems rather caveman-ish to me, and not at all about real romance or the "human condition"
What? Did you go number 2 at the part where "Scott gained the power of self-respect!"? Alot of the reason scott does the fighting isn't entirely to gain ramona's love, but to mature, and grow as a character (which gaining the power of self-respect was a good metaphor...for).

Gah.. seems from early projections that Scott Pilgrim is going to end up 4th for the weekend. As much as I love it I guess I can still see it's clearly only going to be watched by a relatively small audience, but it still sucks. This movie deserves to be seen. Well, at least it's looking like Eat Pray Love isn't going to be at the top of the box office.

I'm sorry, but all I see from this is what I exactly what I see from No More Heroes.
An mediocre-looking movie but LOOK VIDEO GAME REFERENCES THAT MEAN'S IT'S GOOD RITE

But like NMH, i'll check it out.

Hahaha - no. Michael Cera plays one character over and over again. Ask him to step out of his comfort zone and play a different character and I'm sure he'd fail miserably. Much like Steve Carrel.

Oh please, the first ten minutes of High Fidelity say more about life, love, relationships and meaningful pop-culture than Scott Pilgrim could ever even attempt to squeak out via the chinless apparition that is Michael Cera.
Wow there sure is a lot of Michael Cera hate here, I know he isn't anything special, but I expected a lot more support for him since the site seems to really love Arrested Development (which he was great on)

Anyway.

OT: I actually wanna see this movie it looks fun...and...uhm...hip?

Just saw 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the world' last night, and I loved it. It was a good movie and it kept a lot of the charm of the books without a lot of the same jokes. Michael Sara made me nervous to see this movie but I'm really impressed by his performance. But as a big fan of the books, Knives Chau was made a much bigger character in the movie then in the book. I didn't like Knives that much but the movie was still good.

Would you say that the fact Scott Piglrim gets into a ton of fights and thus forcing Michael Cera to sell such fight scenes counts as a stretch for him? In order to prep for the roll Cera went through two months of intense combat training by Team Jackie Chan and is in many different types of fight scenes (one on one, wire-fu, multiple people, sword fights) and has come out of it with a really killer moves. I for one was amazed when I saw his Tae Kwan Do style roundhouse kick. What I'm trying to say is that in non of his previous roles did Michael Cera required so much physicality as Scott Pilgrim did.

So it really was him and not a stunt-double? Damn that's awesome.

That was excellent yes! LOL and how he fries "Crash and the boys (and girl)"
Although I was NOT happy with the delivery of one of the greatest lines in the comic series, when Wallace is heckling the band from the balcony and the Crash says "This song is for the guy who keeps yelling from the balcony, and it's called "We Hate You, Please Die."
The delivery on that was terrible and actually didn't sound as funny as it should have.

Also, I guess I'm not as geek as I used to be because I have no idea what that image Bob showed us that we are supposed to be excited about is from. I guess I am fail on toast.
