I'm not particularly looking forward to this. I've always found Wright's direction to be the weakest link of his collaborations with Pegg and Frost and the trailers make this look almost unbearable.

Sounds worse than it looks, Michael "Same character in everything' Cera is the most annoying actor of a generation. Jessie Eissenberg is similar but much more likable, would have preferred him as Scott. Ah well Im sure I'll watch it any way, I might be surprised.

Thank you for the free tickets for the screening last night - took my wife to see it!
Having not known anything about SPvTW prior to the screening, I really didn't know what to expect. I can now say with certainty, that this is one of the most original films of the year so far, and a surefire cult classic!
However, some people may find it a little too surreal and others may have trouble keeping up with the strangeness of Scott Pilgrim's world.
Like INCEPTION, if you think about it too much, it'll pass you by, and leave you wondering what all the fuss is about.
Personally, this is right up my ally. Edgar Wright has done us proud.
Kudos to Universal for allowing the adaptation to their company logo - inspired!!!

Didn't really know what to expect, but given Edgar Wright's track record was willing to giving it a go.
After having a really rubbish day, this was just what the doctor ordered - geeky in jokes, rocking tunes and a few laughs.
In short, 7 levels of awesomeness - thanks TF !

Saw this last night (thanks to TF!), and it was pretty great! Edgar Wright is a phenomenal director, and he really did the source material justice, cramming the entire film with so many references and little touches. Minor flaws here and there (Cera's fight scenes in particular were quite lacklustre), but a really great cast, amazing effects and such a wonderfully well-crafted movie.
It's appealing to a very specific demographic. This won't be a film that everyone loves, and chances are, if you don't like video games, you'll hate the film. But if you, like me, are a product of us younger generations, you'll no doubt enjoy it.
Most of all though, I completely love that we gamers are now, finally, a real demographic. It's been a long time coming, but I really hope this is a sign of things to come in terms of the younger directors in Hollywood actually understanding the medium and the cultural force that it now is. Massive kudos to both Wright and Bryan Lee O'Malley.

I didn't really know what to expect with this film. But I thought as the tickets were free (thank you Total Film)then what the hell. I thought the film was very original and funny. The randomness of it was great and it meant you didn't have to think to much as you just went with whatever was happening on screen. Would recommend it to friends.

I managed to get a sneak peak at this last night, many thanks to TF! Having not read the "Scott Pilgrim" comics I wasn't sure what to expect from this. But being a big fan of Wright's previous work and judging from the trailer I was expecting it to be a blast, yet I still felt there was a possibility of disappointment... Well I was glad that was proven wrong! Straight from the go you can tell this comic book adaptation is how adaptations should be, you can't help but feel each page of the SP comic is being played out on screen. Mimicking the video game style was also a great feat by Wright, the visuals of the movie are not only very original but just excellent to watch on screen. As mentioned above, this movie could only be reaching out for a very specific target audience, the MTV / Gaming age, although I wouldn't rule this film out to everyone. If people enter the film with a open mind, sit back, embrace a visual treat and have some good laughs along the way. But Scott Pilgrim is possibly one of those movies that will most likely end up a cult hit, I'm hoping it can still reach the good box office success it deserves - 5*

Thanks for the free tickets.
To be honest, the story outweighed Edgar Wright's execution. While the style he used works for short bits in say Shaun of the Dead, having a whole film chop, chop, chopping all over the place starts to get a little tedious after a while.
Actually the fight sequences are accurate to how the film plays - the best fights are the first couple - then there's a long drag of hurry up and get past the next few and the final fights good - if a little long too.
There are a few funny bits in there and the on screen graphics greatly add to the whole thing.

There were plenty of chuckles coming from the audience but for someone now in their sixties (who feels so grateful to have been Scott Pilgim's age in the 1960's when so much was really new in the world) I wondered what I had let myself in for. A simple story line seemed to be muddled up with a dream. Some of the songs were 1960's like and I started to hum a Kinks hit to myself after hearing one number. It seemed like a childish cartoon at times yet other parts were entertaining and engaging. Maybe it's a film that should go in a category of its own? Some films need to be different from the rest even if only to keep cinema as an art-form alive and vibrant. I believe tonight is the official UK launch with Canadian actors coming over to London specially for it. On breakfast TV I saw the director try to give a flavour of the film but alas his word power failed to convey a clear message. Maybe nothing is supposed to be clear in the case of this film?

I saw a preview of this film at the Cornerhouse last night.
It felt like a combination of "Street fighter", "Kill Bill" and "Juno".
Would make most sense to the late teen to mid 20's audiance. But some of the jokes would only be understood by those in there 30's.

Scott Pilgrim is an experience. In these times of vanilla-pod movies, when everything is a tired rehash of a rehash, this feels fresh, fizzy and fun.
Catch it now before the inevitable wave of Scott Pilgrim rip-offs make the sparkling style shifts feel ubearable (as per the Matrix).

From the opening 8-bit Universal logo and sound effects, you know how this film is going to go.
From the beginning, with the cut flashbacks and onscreen comic-book style effects, this is definately aiming to be the playstation-era's film for youth culture. Though at 32 I'd still like to put myself in the higher end of this... maybe I'm more last generation!! However the simple story, boy meets girls etc.. works at every level.
For me the film takes it's best turn at the arrival of the 1st of the 7 ex's and then it's a fast passed cut scene throughout the movie.
Well acted and very much tongue in cheek in my opinion but a very enjoyable film by Ed Wright, with enough references and cheeky tip of the hat to fanboys everywhere.
There was plenty of laugh out loud moments provided and everyone at the screening seemed to enjoy the movie, with the exception of the middle aged couple who walked after 30 minutes.
For me the highlight of the movie was Keiren Culkin, who pretty much stole every scene he was in.
A great love/comic-book/video-game/action/comedy film for all! (I'm not sure even Ed Wright could have shoe-horned another genre in there..... actually he probably could have.)
ps. I would have loved to seen Stan Lee in there just as a random extra.

I took my boyfriend to see this film and the look on his face throughout was a picture, from the moment he took in the audience he said he had never seen so many young Geeks in one place together. He just did not get it at all. I was expecting a kick a*s sort of thing but I can honestly say I have not seen anything like it before. I can't say it was c**p but it made you feel a bit mental watchining it. This one is definately one for the Geeks and the Normals will struggle with it. My daughters will love it especially the music battles. I had my usual shameful laugh out loud moments (when nobady else did) but a couple of the liners cracked me up.
It was after the shock of the first punch up and Mr. Patel introduced himself. the way he said it made me HAH loudly. And how the hell was Mr. Pilgrim able to kick thier butts just like that as if it was a given he was superheroed himself. Scott Pilgrim,bizarre geekfest film, go see it and define your catagory as a Geek or a Norm. It'll do ya head in.

We both loved it and we laughed all the way through. Great cast, excellent editing and special effects, and inventive direction overall. If you look beyond the flashy surface there is a decent story about the cruel world of dating, and a good message regarding self-respect, going after the girl of your dreams and believing in yourself... You don't have to be a computer geek to enjoy this film!

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: Turning Blood into Coins
Watching Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is like watching something from the future. It’s so energetic and enthralling you would think the only way something like this could possibly get made was if the creator was actually send back from the future. Luckily from us, the creator has been sent back from the future. Where he comes from, people look young forever and everyone has really cool hair.

A pile of rubbish. Just another lazy excuse for another Michael cera vechile! Cera was wooden, he really is a one trick pony. Superbad was good, I liked Juno a lot but he hasn't done anything brilliant since. I found the humour in this film to be awful, i didn't laugh really at all. I liked the visual style of the film and it looked great but the content was awful.
I like Edgar Wright's previous work like Shaun of the dead and Hot fuzz but this was just horrible. Terrible story, bland acting from cera and quite a few cast members. I like some of the acting, the girl who played Knives and Ramona were very good, I liked Anna Kendrick and Jason Schwartzman was the only good actor out of the 7 evil ex's. Bottom line, a waste of time, hated it!

I do disagree with your comment criticising the repetitiveness 'ding dong' and 'rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiingggggggggggggggggggggggg' in the middle of the film. That aspect was used at the start, it may seem repetitive but its a staple part of the style. If it had been removed it would have been criticised for dropping it out.

I thought this film was excellent. Admittedly I am probably part of the target audience meaning the references didn't fall on deaf ears.
If you don't like Cera in anything he's done before then your not likely to love him in this although, for me, he delivers a different type of performance.
This is one of the most original movies I've seen and the direction and production make it hilarious and immensely enjoyable from the start.

The real estate businesses in Mexico and Central America are different from the way that they are conducted in the United States.
Some similarities include a variety of legal formalities (with professionals such as real estate agents generally employed to assist the buyer); taxes need to be paid (but typically less than those in U.S.); legal prepaid credit cards paperwork will ensure title; and a neutral party such as a title company will handle documentation and money to make the smooth exchange between the cheap titoni watches parties. Increasingly, U.S. title companies are doing work for U.S. buyers in Mexico and Central America.
Prices are often much cheaper than BH0-006 most areas of the U.S., but in many locations, prices of houses and lots are as expensive as 000-107 the U.S., one example being Mexico City. U.S. banks have begun to give home loans for properties in Mexico, but, so far, not for other Latin American countries.
