Film Scott Pilgrim

[inactionman]

Just saw Scott Pilgrim, and I have to say it was fantastic! The comedy was great, and the action was fun as well. There were lots of geeky references as well, particularly the 8-bit Universal logo! Another Edgar Wright classic.

I'll watch it again soon.

Anyone know if this film is loosely based on the wii game, "no more hereos"? Seems to be from the trailers.

 

[inactionman]

No, it's based on a canadian comic with manga stylings. It's incredibly geeky though!

 

[Ch3tan]

Hmm... the sound effects are taken directly from the game, which is why I asked!

Argh! I took my niece to the pictures the other day and really wanted to see this ... but she demanded (as teenagers do) that we see a 3D dance movie instead. Big yawn!

Saw it last night with the GF and I loved it, even she liked it and she hates films with fight scenes. Thought all the nods to gaming was fantastic, loved the zelda music near the start and I do agree alot of it reminds me of No More Heroes. Can't wait to see it again.

Only thing I disliked was the ending, it all got a bit boring and predictable.

Spoiler

Bit where he goes back to the Chinese girl, then back to crazy hair lady made no sense. Also we never saw how he was so good at fighting (i could live with that), but it would have been nice for some of the fights to be a bit more normal. He has one at the start, then it goes all xmen.

Oh and 'as if' you'd dump an asian girl for a 'normal' looking girl.

Bahamut:

Spoiler

The original scripted ending was written before the last issue of Scott Pilgrim was released and had him going back with Knives. Once the last issue revealed that Scott and Ramona got together at the last minute the ending of the movie was changed to match, so i'm led to believe.

Loved this film, fights were way ott but that was its charm, it's not lit the box office on fire though so there may not be too many imitators, thankfully. Definately a movie that's going to shine on Blu-Ray/DVD (although unless you have a kickass sound system you're really going to want to see it on the big screen).

There's an early draft of the script on Joblo that's got the original scripted ending, a lot of the dialogue doesn't seem as snippy and is quite overambitious in places (bit of a wtf at the final battle, the cost of that would be crazy) but I reckon the final product did rather well out of it.

It's satisfying when a movie gets the right cast and crew, that film could have so very easily been an unmitigated disaster, but who knows, if it were disneyfied maybe it would have made more money at the expense of being, you know, good .

I was like, this shit is cool and...stuff. But then the lead actor was a bit poo so I was a bit like "sad face".

Finally got around to seeing this last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Slightly offbeat, lots of gaming references and some great cameos. Chris Evans was especially ace.

One of the things I particularly loved was how ridiculous the logic was. There was no superhero setup or anything. The mental fights just started as if they were perfectly natural, without any explanation as to why the nerd was suddenly able to fight like a computer-game demon.

 

[Ch3tan]

Just finished watching it, that was awesome. So random, so good.
