Paid to see it twice.  Went out and bought the soundtrack so I could bump Sex BOB-OMB! (Beck)  Having trouble finding the score though...  I must have the Universal 8-bit chiptune intro track!  Did  anyone else get the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World guitar pic keychain?  I went to a Century theater and they were giving them out to the first 500 people with movie ticket.  I was stoked because when everyone was shuffling out at the end of the movie I found 3 more on the floor!  I'm thinking about uploading a pic of the pic, because I can't find any online.

Digital download only. Amazon and iTunes both have it.

So can I get one of those?

Ok. Sooo.... I want one.

I thought the movie was entertaining; not my fav Edgar Wright movie (Shaun of the Dead wins that) but comparable to Hot Fuzz in entertainment value.

Although entertaining, it's one of the most geek centric movie I've seen in a while thus mass market expectations were hopefully put aside because it's just too much "out there".  I don't think they expected this low a total though but sometimes, these types of flicks really get their legs more once they hit home video so we'll see what happens then.

Best comment I can provide to support it?  I'd pay to see the sequel.

the Live! / PSN game is a great River City Ransom type game, other then the audio, its pretty amazing

Wow.  Now I don't know if I want to go see Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, or watch The Matrix Trilogy again...

[HaRuMaN]

watch The Matrix Trilogy again...

There is only 1 Matrix movie worth watching

[massive88]

Yeah whats is this trilogy you speak of?  Im not sure which would be better, if they made more Matrix movies, or if Lucas finally made Episodes 1-3 of Star Wars.

[shmokes]

Lol . . . That's a rather good way of going through life.

Scott Pilgrim VS the World:

5/5

Three thumbs up.

+ extra power up

[Benevolance]

Scott Pilgrim the Video Game is also pretty awesome if you're into side-scrolling brawlers. Very much like River City Ransom.

Yeah, I enjoyed the hell out of the demo. I'll buy the full game eventually.

Nothin' wrong with the audio.  I love the Anamanaguchi sound-track! Those guys kick ass for 8bit/chip tunes.

I just finished the game this weekend. It was pretty rad! The artwork is sweet, Art Directed by Paul Robertson (ala Pirate Baby Cabana), the gameplay gets really good as you progress. Especially all the combo tricks and dash attacks you can get off. It's like River City Ransom updated.

I haven't watched the movie yet, I plan to eventually, but for now I'm just going off what was in the graphic novels. I really liked the story there, and am interested in seeing how much they changed it for the movie.

For 800 points, you cannot go wrong. My wife and I are about halfway through the game on Average Joe and enjoying it immensely. We have friendly fire turned off, but there is still ample room for hijinx because that does not apply to thrown weapons. Invariably I will have a great combo interrupted by an accidentally thrown bottle or something. I'm beginning to wonder just how 'accidental' these hits are. Especially when she finishes the guy off and steals the cash before I stand back up.

Little late on this, but I wanted to chime in.  The first 3 Scott Pilgram volumes may predate No More Heroes, but they don't predate the spiritual precursor to that game, Grasshopper Studio's similarly toned "Killer 7" in which you play as 7 deadly assassins (sound familiar?).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer7



Furthermore, the movie was made before the books were finished, and the end of the movie (where Scott starts using a sword and loads of suited goons are bursting as he slices them), which really, really feels like it was torn right out of NMH is very different from the book.  So to say that what your seeing when you go to the movie wasn't inspired by NMH isn't necessarily true.

I find it really weird that such a mainstream movie would have taken so much inspiration from a few realitively unknown videogames, but man, when I was watching it that was all I was thinking.  

edit:  Just checked my math on this.  The very first volume of Scott Pilgrim does actually predate even Killer 7, meaning the similiarities between the two were at first coincidence.  I gotta think as the series went on (and when the movie was made) inspiration was pulled from the games.  The final volume didn't come out until just before the movie was released.   

[Ginsu Victim]

Yeah, Scott Pilgrim came out a year before. Glad to see you caught that glaring error.

I think I must be getting old, because i really couldn't get into this. It wasn't awful, just not as awesome as the trailers promised. It's on about the same level as 'The expendables' in my mind.

3/5.

my score for recent movies you may have seen:

  5/5 - Michael Clayton, In Bruges, Gran Torino, Mary and Max

4.5/5 - Taken, Iron Man, Reign Over Me

  4/5 - Traitor, Bedtime Stories, Sunshine, pineapple express

3.5/5 - 300, Max Payne, You dont mess with the Zohan, Yes Man

  3/5 - That new Indiana Jones flick, Disturbia, That new TMNT flick,

2.5/5 - Angels and Demons

  2/5 - The Love Guru. Note: My 2 is probably someone elses 1. Just leaving room for worse!
