    I don't know--it looks alright but the music isn't what I expected to be. D:

    I love that movie, the combinations of comics and video games made it that much more awesome.

    I really enjoyed the movie! Just got the first volume of the comic as a birthday gift and enjoying it so far. I actually thought the music used in film was really fitting (it might help that I'm in lesbians with Beck but that's another story).

    Still enjoyed it. But disappoint as fuck.

    It tells a different story with different characters. They had to cut out too much and change the ending. I always want an adaptation and I always get an interpretation.

    Oh--the only thing that I hated was the music. It DID NOT catch my attention at all.

    Every time I watch Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, I always wonder how someone like him could get a chick like that. One lucky nerd.

    Movies and films are two different things that are trying to accomplish two different things. While books are entirely story, there is more to a movie than just it's story. A movie is trying to entertain an audience for a short two hour period, while a book is trying to engross the reader in it's story for however long is needed. Knowing that, a complete adaption of any book to film is nearly impossible to do without making some changes, there are things in books (such as structure) that just can't be done in film because of how a story is told in a book, vs how it is told in a story (there are also much more people involved in the production of a film than a book.) Now I've never seen the movie or read the comics, but that is just a general truth.

    I liked the soundtrack and the movie was pretty good. I don't really like Michael Cera though

    I don't see what is wrong with this.
