Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
So I just watched a trailer for this thing, and I have to say, it looks like it might be a little fun. I'lll be keeping my eye on it from now on.

I posted some thoughts in the comic section - basically this is going to be a geek's wet dream. I'm pretty confident people will be flipping out about this in a week; the internet/fanboy/geek community has already be going insane since the trailer came out.
Me? I read the first volume of the comic series 6 months or so ago and was pretty underwhelmed. I didn't really like it. That said, I'll still see the movie cause it's Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz)... but I don't expect to come out loving it like I expect a lot of geeks to.
I actually really enjoyed this. I didn't like the comic, as I mentioned earlier, but as a film it really worked. The plot isn't much to praise, but the visuals/special effects are amazing, the editing is extremely fast-paced and creative, the music is really solid, the acting/comic-timing of the cast is great.
I'm not going to claim that it "speaks for/represents my generation" like some people have, but it was definitely a very fun movie. One of the better films I've seen in theaters this year.
Did I love it? No. Did I like it? Definitely.

I thought the fight scenes were definitely top notch, great look and feel
Yeah, the fight scenes were fantastic. I should've expected as much, given how awesome the shoot-out was at the end of Hot Fuzz and even the action in Shaun of the Dead. The action in Scott Pilgrim was totally different, obviously, but just as impressive as anything he's done in the past, if not more so.
I won't be seeing this on account of Michael Cera being an absolute shit actor.
Not really a shit actor, his range is crap, just plays the same sort in every film but the role he plays the same is good acting... if you see what I mean. He came out of his same shell slightly during Youth of Revolt, he can change if he tries and gets the right role.
I like Cera, he is the sort of actor who plays the same all the time but I still enjoy watching him in films; Owen Wilson is another one like that.
Never cared for Cera and his boring and pretentious on screen personality but i'll give him credit for this movie. The Director did a good job at showcasing his skills. I enjoyed this movie very much. I really couldn't find anything that i didnt like about this movie. It was funny, smart and incredibly appealing to the eye. The movie was shot beautifully. I would highly recommend this movie.
