I'm not going to go into great length about this movie. I'm sure there have been plenty of other great reviews, whether positive or negative. I do have one thing to say, though.
This movie was DARING.
Now, I personally thought it was a great movie, but I can absolutely see the other side of this one, and that's because it's a daring movie. It took a LOT of chances, and they paid off for a certain population, while at the same time alienating a much larger population.
There's no doubt in my mind that this movie will have a cult following for years to come, sell a buttload of dvds, etc. Not everyone will like it, and that's okay.
I guess the point that I'm trying to get to is that I wish there were more movies like this. And yes, I know that there are, in fact, a lot of indie movies that take risks. What I'm talking about is Hollywood, that generic-making monster that puts big budgets behind things that are so predictable my seventeen month old son could figure them out, taking a risk. But that will never happen because movies like Scott Pilgrim fail at the box office.
Oh well. Either way, if you like videogames or comics, Scott Pilgrim is definitely worth a watch. If you don't, it's still worth a watch, just to see if you might stretch your tastes a little bit. Always cool to do that, right?

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World - Yes yes, I finally got around to watching it.

I thought the editing was pretty clever. Each scene were literally connected to each other, haha.
