Scott Pilgrim vs the world

If you like game which i assume you do if you're here you must see this movie. It has many references to video games especially the Nes system. it has a good story and a crazy asian. You must see it. If you have what was your favorite part?

Now what do you mean by "crazy asian"? You better explain yourself young man. 

Or... as I like to call them... CRAZIANS!!!!!
AM I RIGHT? EH? EHHHHH?

" Or... as I like to call them... CRAZIANS!!!!! AM I RIGHT? EH? EHHHHH? "

I don't know. When I saw the trailers I wasn't really interested, mainly because when you put Michael Cera in it...I don't know...
 
Besides that, can anybody convince me that the movie is actually worth watching?

I went to see this movie last night and I must say I really enjoyed it. AND I was sober.

I'm hearing pretty good things about the movie but are the video game references subtle and well-delivered or just obvious and in your face?

" 

meh.

I loved the graphic novels but I'll probably end up waiting for this to come out on DVD.  It doesn't seem to be nearly as story driven as the first couple books were.

It was fucking amazing.  My favorite parts were the fight scenes, so fucking amazing.  Also anybody who doesnt see the movie just because of micheal cera is a fucking retard. 

this movie was awesome, it's disappointing that people dont watch it because michael cera is in it, he really did a great job with this. The Edgar Wright dialogue shines through really well.
 
btw, hating something because its "hipster" is in itself FUCKING HIPSTER. Watch a movie because it seems interesting dont get turned off because it seems attached to a general social crowd or something, god modern subculture is just so annoying. I went to the movies this friday and my choices were the expendables, step up 3d, and scott pilgrim. I chose scott pilgrim and enjoyed it done and done

The whole movie is pure win. I loved the Thomas Jane cameo and the Seinfeld moment. CLASSIC!!

I'm gonna wait til opening weekend hype dies down before taking any of this seriously.
 
People are making it sound like Family Guy to be quite honest.
"IT'S AWESOME CAUSE IT REFERENCES VIDEO GAMES!"

i like the part where they reference video games its so funny lulz

The Seinfeld sound was absolutely wonderful, I was laughing for a minute straight when that happened.

Basically this.  It seems quite hilarious that the people I know who are interested in seeing this are the same people who turn around and go "Family Guy is trash, too many pop-culture refeerences". "

Also, see, the funny thing is the film really isn't this. The videogame aesthetic is just that... an aesthetic. Most of the humor comes from the character dialogue, not from over references to something. All of these videogame references are there just as a backdrop, a way to tell the story. I haven't read the comic book and I wasn't really looking forward to seeing this film... but I enjoyed it. So take that for what it's worth. It's a good film. "

it the books there is two crazy asians
unless knives dad isn't in the movie
i'll be seeing it on the 25th thanks to universal not releasing it until then. FUCK!

I thought it was great, but it seemed way more anime/manga inspired than video game inspired to me.  The fight scenes were fantastic.  I don't know what they did but they were more intense and better choreographed and executed than fights scenes in movies that are way more serious.  It's one of the few times where I sneak into a second (in this case 3rd) movie and seriously contemplate buying a ticket when I leave just to show support.

I saw it yesterday, it is a blast of film. The video game references are there but not blatantly in your face for the most part. I highly recommend it.

Ugh. When I saw the trailer for this movie, which had Micheal Cera's face followed up by the tagline of "an epic of epic epicness", I swore I'd never see this movie after holding back some vomit. 
 
But it's kinda starting to sound interesting..

no references to half-life or deus ex.  movie is automatically shit.

I didn't want to see this movie because of Michael Cera but I am *so* glad I did. I bought the soundtrack... I really liked the music in the film.

 
I'm indifferent towards Michael Cera, but I love Edgar Wright, so I'll be checking it out.

The part that almost made me hurt myself laughing: The Wheel in Scott's head landing between the options "I gotta pee" and "who her?", make him say out-loud "I GOTTA PEE ON HER"...it happened so fast, but it was damn funny.... 

that movie was amazing! ramona is hot and the video game references were ingenious!

I really had no desire to see this, but my friend dragged me to it and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. It was funny, full of action, and over all just a cool, unique feeling movie. Go see it!

My favorite parts were probably the dream sequence with the fairy fountain music and the amp against amp fight with the twins.

I saw it tonight, it was pretty awesome. What helps the whole video game thing work out is that it's incredibly consistent, usually serious about it and very well done. Something I enjoyed a lot about it was how all the subtext was written out on-screen. There were tons of audio cues and stingers and action-texts for events; few of which I found to be jarring or out of place. Some with the sliding scene transitions and fast cuts. It all really helped sell the live-action comic vibe.
 
In regards to the aforementioned seriousness - This isn't a spoiler as you can see this in the trailers: When someone dies they explode into coins. That's it. This fact is not lingered on for longer than a few seconds if at all. The first time it happens Scott is happy to find coins as it meant he can pay his bus fare. There's no wink and nudge. There's no questioning it. They're not over-sized CGI coins. They're just coins and that's just what happens. It keeping a straight face about most of this keeps it from feeling like it's "trying to hard". It's all ridiculous, but it's acceptable as such as it doesn't come across as faking it.
 
I found it to be a lot like the Naked Gun films in that regard. Fast wit, dead pan delivery, ridiculous circumstances and ordinary people with super-human abilities at convenient times.
 
Anyways, it was good. :)

Seinfield moment and  Thomas Jane were the only parts i really didn't like. "

God, I loved that movie

So i just looked up the definition of Hipster.... holy crap i am very close to being one... and i thought i was just retro... Being and 80's child and all.
Edit:  OK so.... Being naturally Retro is OK.... wanting to be Retro is Hipster. 
Edit 2: While discussing this with my wife she classified me as Hetro.

HE PUNCHED OUT HER HIGHLIGHTS...  HE PUNCHED OUT HER HIGHLIGHTS!

All you have to do is watch the TANG videos to see that video game references do not a good movie make.
