Don’t throw around terms like “geeky-hipster chic” when it doesn’t make any sense. People use these terms (Gen-Y, too) as a way to look down on a generation when they truly have no idea what it means. Scott Pilgrim is no more geeky-hipster chic than Gilmore Girls was cyberpunk.

It’s just a label. A stupid label that means absolutely nothing in the real world. A label that people use in order to separate themselves. I know a lot of “kids” in the age range you’re talking about and they’re nothing like that. In fact, they’re not too different from the kids I grew up with 15 years ago. They just have prettier games now. But when you throw around terms in a way that makes it sound like you know what you’re talking about, it only succeeds in distancing yourself from people who aren’t really that much different. You might want to THINK you’re different, but by and large, you’re not.

I also don’t understand the ridiculously bad dialogue comment. It’s not Shakespeare, but come on … it had funnier lines than about 95% of The Hangover and people loved that stupid movie.

(Okay, The Hangover isn’t a stupid movie … the script is really good … it’s just not very funny.)

And the whole “well if you’d read the comic book” argument lends no credence here. If the imitating material grates the nerves, then the imitated material (the book) probably would too. It’s just one of those things that either appeals to you or doesn’t, and whether or not my opinion falls into the minority makes no difference whatsoever.

To give credit where credit’s due, I did enjoy the creative use of computer CG graphics.

I don’t exactly know what film school you think you might know something about, but I don’t think they teach you text pop ups in Film School 101 or whatever gibberish it was that you wrote.

One of the guys above me already explained that had you known even a smidgeon about the book (or read ANYTHING about the book online), you’d have realized that Wright didn’t do anything at all except translate what was in the book. All of it is there … the pee meter, the extra lives, the hearts in the air, etc.

Look … I’m not trying to give you a hard time or be mean, but if you are going to be a movie reviewer, then you need to have a passion for it. You clearly don’t. I mean, seriously … how long does it take to google Scott Pilgrim and at least learn a LITTLE something about it because you make a fool of yourself. It’s just lazy … and your vote shouldn’t count toward the Rotten Tomatoes meter because you haven’t earned it.

“The Summer of my discontent.” lol Yeah, that’s because you have awful taste and zero knowledge of film. It would be like me reviewing women’s make-up. Sure, I could do it, but why would anyone hire me to do so?

Also, “If he’d just let everything play out instead of inserting himself into every scene.” is a sencence fragment. Bad grammar, FYI.

Might I suggest you Google the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels, pick up copies of the six volumes, and read them? Maybe you’ll understand why the movie is the way it is, and better appreciate it for the amazing recreation that it rightfully is.
