scott pilgrim was great for me the exes made it better however micheal cera was a little more bland version of the graphic novels scott pilgrim but overall i enjoyed watching it and might get the dvd soon
I like how people are getting so upset that an 11-year-old doesn't like their favorite movie and wishing he would die. I guess this goes to show what kinds of people ARE fans of this movie.
the kid has great talent in his way of presenting and speaking, and has intelligence on what is important to movies; however, he is completely wrong on this one Scott Pilgrim vs The WORLDDD is a really good movie
He is 11 year old and he's already a better critic than most out there. Just because all of you obviously like a shitty movie like Scott Pilgrim doesnt mean its cool to hate on a 11 year old who smarter than you.
It was a terribly written movie, in my opinion. Rarely have I seen a film where I did not want the protagonist to get the girl. The character was so bland and such a douche (dumping a girl just because of his first glance at another chick).
Some of the humour was fine, however, and requires almost NO video-game knowledge. It doesn't make up for lack-luster characterization or dialogue but at least it was something to make it easier to watch.
Even though the movie lacked some of the main themes of the graphic novel, the movie wasn't all "punching and kicking" the theme was that the world doesn't just revolve around Scott and that to be in a good relationship it takes more than just love, you need self-respect, etc.
@lightscamerajackson ...So, instead of keeping to the fantastic story line of the original author, you'd rather twist the plot and keep it down to 3 or 4 evil exes. Do you read? 'Cause movies based on any type of book should, in my respectful opinion, be kept as similar as possible to the author's story. By not doing that, one receives awful flicks like "The Golden Compass". Had the entire story been shown, even if it was long, it would have been MUCH better. Please, stop ruining good movies.
This kid doesn't know what he's talking about. Of course, he did say, "First of all, I gotta say I'm not really a video game person," so we can all tell he's a basket case :P
You guys have to remember he's reviewing these movies for KIDS his age. Of course 11 year olds aren't going to like scott pilgrim or inception or the town.
@WonderExperience I'd say the absolute opposite for Scott Pilgrim, 11 year olds love superhero movies and comic book movies like Spiderman and Hulk and they like fighting scenes and possibly gaming as well as special effects and humour. It's the perfect combination for an 11 year old (possibly more lads would like it than girls though, not sure about that).
@lightscamerajackson It did badly because stupid people went to see The Expendables, which came out in the same week! Scott Pilgrim is a masterpiece and Edgar Wright just can't go wrong as a filmmaker. But as you said you don;t have knowledge of much of the referenced material, especially the retro games it heavily parodies!
@lightscamerajackson Sorry for responding to a 3+ month old comment but Pilgrim's audience is not specifically gamers. In fact, the movie's audience is most probably made up of a majority consisting of teens and young hipsters; people who love rough indie-pop and/or have a nostalgic soft-side towards video games, comics, anime, and the rest of that lovably geeky stuff. Such limited audience - as well as the Expendables - is the cause of the film's poor BO gross.
Personally, I don't see anything wrong with this kid. I love the movie, but I don't hate on people with a different opinion. Also, I agree that it is aimed at people who like video games, and films with a narrow target audience don't normally do the best at the box office.
@numberdomino the reason people don't like it is that there are many people more qualified, and reviewers aren't supposed to let their own opinions influence the review.
WHO DOESN'T LIKE A GOOD FIGHT SCENE? I'M A SIXTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL AND I LOVE A GOOD FIGHT SCENE. YOU'RE AN ELEVEN YEAR OLD BOY. THIS IS THE AGE WHEN YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO EMBRACE NON-GOREY (OR MAYBE GOREY, MAKE IT GOREY FOR ALL I CARE) VIOLENCE.
Kid has obviously been brainwashed into believing a falsified stereotype of gamers.
I watched this for the second time today in a very uncomfortable bean-bag cinema (damned crappy gimmick my local cinema has for the kiddies) and there were a few adults and a few kiddies; from what I could tell we all rather enjoyed it, despite the evil seating. My first viewing was in a cinema packed with older teens and adults between 18 and 25 and it was roaring with laughter. Experience says kid is wrong. :D
Holy shit, is this kid wrong about this movie. The performances are overshadowed by the film's look? You, son, have obviously watched a different movie.
He says a gamer is someone that sits in front of the screen ALL DAY, and that pisses me off. Everyone seems to conclude that if you play video games, that's all you do. It's annoying.
Yeah. We mindless gamers who like dumb repetition are the ONLY ones who would like this. And that's what the soccer moms get from this. He just throws in movie terminology to sound like he knows what he's doing. Really, this movie is great. The fight scenes are exciting and the characters are very charismatic. But the soccer moms who think "If this kid says so, then I trust him because he's eleven. Wow. Eleven. And he reviews films." Not very well.
Kid, this was one of the most brilliant movies I have ever seen. You have no taste. It was original, hilarious, the fights were coreographed very well, the visuals were amazing, and the acting was spot on. And as far as you not being a gamer, my fiancee saw it with me, she is also not a gamer, and she graduated from the USC film school with a BA in Critical Studies. She loved it.
Now this kid is going to go over to an awesome movie based off my favorite comic series and take a crap on it. I'll bet he doesn't even know it's based on comics. He probably doesn't even get some of the references.
This kids at the point in his life where looking at movies through a critic's eyes have ruined his ability to appreciate good movies that don't rely on great plots. Most critics are at a point in maturity where they learn that some things are meant for some crowds, such as the action-film crowd or the video game crowd, and try to understand the appeal of that movie to that person.
However, due to his young age, he's ironically patronizing to movies, as if he's greater than them. A shame, truly.
his comment about how people who play video games sit in front of a tv just pushing buttons for hours really pissed me off. I hate comments like that. I'm a gamer, and I loved it. My roommate is not a gamer, and she loved it. It isn't geared towards 11 year olds at all. I'd give this movie an A and I plan to see it at least 3 more times and then buy it the day it's released.
Why is a child doing a review when this movie is obviously not steered toward his age range? Also to appreciate this film you have to know SOMETHING about the comics.
Sir, you are a child. This film is clearly not geared towards you, therefore you have no business reviewing it. Stop reviewing films like this and Inception, and stick to children's films.
