Thoroughly enjoyed this one.
Michael Cera is still Michael Cera, so if you really can't stand him for whatever reason that's unlikely to change. But you'd be missing a fun and clever movie for a pretty dumb reason.
love me some mary elizabeth winstead, but im already tired of cera and his ck

I don't like him. And I can't really say the previews help his cause out either. Add it to the annoying and growing trend of previews that don't show what movies are about.
I thought the previews for this one made the plot pretty clear.
I like that Ann(who?) is in this movie. I'll pirate it once a good quality version is out there.
In addition to not liking Micahel Cera, I have a much harder time with the whole regular guy/superhero theme than I do the superhero theme. I can suspend disbelief enough to enjoy the story of a rich kid turning into a ninja and dressing up like a bat. I can suspend disbelief enough to enjoy the idea of an alien life form obtaining superpowers from our yellow sun.
But I refuse to suspend disbelief enough to enjoy the idea that a skinny, dorky, hipster, wanna-be indie rock star learns to shoot fire out of his hands and beat the out of people because he played some mario bros. and read a comic book.
Um.. I can find better entertainment than Scott Pilgrim vs his manhood.
I liked Michael Cera a lot more when he took on roles where his lame hipsterness wasn't construed as a positive.
Plus, Jessie Eisenberg, (the kid from Zombieland) is a far better actor, who accomplishes the same goal. He out Michael Cera's, Micahel Cera.
a movie where micheal cera plays a dorky idiot
he really does branch out our generations brando
there are many dorky hipster wanna be rock stars on this website that shoot fire from their hands on the regular thinking they can beat the out of people. but you are right, as there is no enjoyment in watching that movie here either.
Haven't seen it yet, but I was sold on the fact it comes from Edgar Wright....co-writer/director of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.
Sons this movie looks like a schroomed up sequel to nick and nora's infinite playlist. Also lol those idiots releasing it the same weekend as the expendables. They lost like 88% of their target audience.
I saw them both yesterday. Even paid for them both.
But... I'm not either film's target audience, so you may still have a point.
Cera was only good in Arrested Development..and even then he was the worst actor of the whole cast...
I'm really burnt out on Michael Cera as well, but this movie is pretty funny in spite of him. And everyone thinking this is Nick And Nora 2 is wayyyyyyy ing off.
and I'd Mary Elizabeth Winstead six ways to sunday.
tbh I'd still rather have rented the movie than seen it in theaters. Michael Cera is Michael Cera after all, and this movie is way too overloaded with comic book/video game gimmicks. It's probably the most ADD movie I've ever seen, Edgar Wright makes Tony Scott look like Terrance Malick in comparison. Even so, it's still pretty damn funny.
I'd like to note that the reason the movie uses the video game gimmicks is because it's based off the comic book, which used those same gimmicks.
vomit
he was good in exactly one movie, The Squid And The Whale.
Even so, it still went way overboard with it. I enjoyed the gimmicks for about half of the movie, after that it got really old. There didn't need to be 18 different sound effects and little "booms" and "thwacks" on the screen for every scene in the entire ing movie.
It was okay but nothing to rave about.
It's definately worth a view in theatres, and from a technical standpoint it's ing amazing. I saw it today, after having low expectations from the trailers but hearing good things from people. All the cool in the movie wasn't spoiled for me and I had a good time and was hoping it'd be longer. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is sooooooo hot, the music is great, and Cera didn't get on my nerves. I hated the director's other movies, but he did an awesome job here and it never felt too jumpy or random to me.
If you're into videogames, anime, mangas, comic books, good soundtracks, and/or Mary Elizabeth Winstead...see it in theatres.
I liked it a lot, but I have a love for the source material (the games, not the comics). I dug the fight scenes, thought they were really well done. It reminded me of the anime FLCL in its editing and direction.
I just saw it and I thought is was good. It almost felt like I was watching a comic book come to life. Since I already read the first four volumes of the comic, I was expecting some things that didn't happen, but it's only natural that a film adaptation leaves things out.
