I can not get enough Scott Pilgrim threads. I wanted to see Scott Pilgrim, ended up seeing the Expendables first, then when I heard how much better the Expendables had done in theaters, I went to see Scott Pilgrim a couple more times out of righteous indignation.
Scott Pilgrim is a flawed movie but there are spots of brilliance in it. Visually the film is a masterpiece. The pacing and characterization, on the other hand, are absolutely terrible. Some scenes are obsessively faithful to the comic, while other plot points are completely changed. Having read the comics first it was very disorienting to watch a scene I knew frame by frame from the book end completely differently. The movie is at its best when it stands on it's own, but it gets dragged down by futile attempts at fan service.

My reasons for seeing it are, it sounds crap what more of a reason do you need not to see something? If you think something is going to be crap you are reluctant to go and see it, if your funds are tight you don't go and spend cash on it.
People growing up and maturing has been done a number of times in both film and TV, big daddy and life unexpected spring to mind.
I originally didn't want to see it 'cos I thought it was some watchmen and kick ass off spring.
the point is your reasons are based on a flawed conception of what the movie is actually about. that's not necessarily you're fault; part of the reason the movie did so poorly is that the marketing sent mixed messages on what the movie actually was. But the fact is that it's not a superhero movie, it's not about teens (mostly), and it definitely isn't emo.

I know quite a lot of people (15-ish) who claim to be Bisexuals, and the vast majority of them are just a bunch of trendy, over-educated ponces who really don't know the difference between their backside and their mouth.
This is true of 15 year-olds in general, regardless of sexual orientation.
I should also point out that at that age most teens have a very poor understanding of sexual identity. I guarantee you most of the "bisexuals" you know now are just experimenting. Which, incidentally, is exactly what happens in Scott Pilgrim. A girl experimented with lesbianism in college but later realized it was just a phase. I don't think there are any actual bisexuals in the movie.
