I thought it was one of the best movies of the year, if not THE best. Maybe im biased because I play and love videogames, but everything about this movie was great nd enjoyable. It was super funny, rather adult for a PG 13 movie, I LOVED the Visual style of this movie and the fights, I loved the way the sound of the Intruments in the band have actual shape adn neon look, and I love that this movie is using mostly unkown good talent that Ive never seen before save for Michael Cera, which I wouldnt really call BIG yet, but hes getting there. I love movies like that where im introduced to a new generation of potential future big name talent, its like finding a band you never heard of before and liking their music.  
 
Anyway, I wont spoil anything, but there are ways that this movie is done that are really cool. I dont think itll spoil anything, but I love the little hints at what number Evil Ex he is on, like seeing 5 street signs with Xs on them to signify he still has 5 to go or stuff like that. Anyway, if you havent seen it, please go see it. I think its guranteed to put a smile on your face if you have any love for video games and also maybe if you dont. The movie is just enjoyable all around. Also, I will say that Scotts Gay Roomate might be one of my favorite characters in the movie because he was just so genuinely funny. Also, the music is kick ass. Its probaly the best movie that has anything to do with videogames, and its not even based off a videogame.

Cool, I really wasn't interested in this and already wrote it off, but it seems it did pretty good for itself.

If you are basing it off previews you saw on TV, please do not. The Previews really dont convey the goodness of this movie and makes it look stupid.

Well doesn't everyone on this board play and love video games....? Why would you be biased if you played video games before watching this movie? I heard this movie makes some video game references but does it really affect the movie THAT much?

I really enjoyed the movie too. I actually was really doubting it, but I was completely blown away. I would definitely recommend it!

My friend had to text me in the middle of the night telling me how great it was. and I'm inclined to believe him seeing as how we don't often talk anymore.

What this guy said.
 Mf friend Justin didn't believe me when I said that this was the best video game movie of all time; he went and checked out the late showing and phoned me afterward to agree with me.
