Full Reviews : Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

[Pickpocket]

Weird that of all the things I wrote, you got really offended by that one. Are you obsessed with the actress or something? Do you have her poster on your bedroom wall? Is it sticky?

yes, yes, and no.. it's crusty now feel me

nice review ShogunRua. I passed on seeing this one because Michael Cera's stupid face just incites violence in me.

Regarding the actress, I don't see her as a paragon of feminine beauty, but beauty is subjective. Nor does it matter. I WANT to see some love stories starring ugly people. It'd make for a fucking change of pace. I want to hear love songs sung by ugly people.

I'm sorry, society considers ugly people to be subhuman, so that's not gonna happen.

I haven't seen it, but the first 3 minutes turned me off and I turned it off.

I completely agree. My main gripe was her utter lack of acting ability, or contribution to the film. I was kind of making a joke that on top of everything else, she didn't even have the decency to be proper eye candy! Obviously, if she acted half as well as a Frances McDormand or Tilda Swinton, it would be a non-issue.

Heh.

I agree with Shogun. Instead of any substance they just throw at viewer constant VG references. It was just too much for me, like a 2-hour video game diarrhoea. 12-year old me would have probably loved it and discussed with friends all the moves from Soul Calibur they'd used, but today - meh.

And the comic was good too

HAHAHA. To paraphrase your own statement, "your opinion on anything else is henceforth invalid". Seriously. If the movie was a natural disaster, then the comic would be like the entire planet blowing up.

I dunno Shogun, I really liked this movie and the comic. That may "invalidate my opinion" on anything else (although I think you only wrote that to further you and Pickpocket's constant tirade against one another, and I doubt you actually mean it).

The movie was something new in the theatres and I loved that about it. I too grew up on video games and loved seeing how the comic's "world built somewhat into a video game" idea was played out. Its my favorite movie this year, I had tons of fun at the theatre.

This. The second I heard Michael Cera was in the role, I called that it was going to be shit. And I liked the comic.



Needless to say this thread is exactly the reason I never visit these forums anymore.

Couldn't finish this film. I thought the rating system (PG13) was supposed to refer to the minimum age for the audience, not the maximum. And the actress is not that hot - a 7.5 (after makeup)

[TheDenizen]

Having finally seen this film (I was cajoled into it by a group of people who wanted to watch it on DVD), I can concur that it is shallow, pointless drivel and Cera absolutely ruins every scene with his awkward nerd schtick. The action sucked, the comedy sucked, and the characters were all beyond stupid.

and Knives was WAY hotter then Ramona. Chinese school girl or skanky goth chick? NO CONTEST.
