I read the comics and watched it. I really liked it and Michael Cera did a really good job. My favourite bit was mecha scott.
Mecha Scott? (I've only watched the movie)

But yeah, I liked it. Want to get it on DVD though, I prefer that to watching at the cinema (no, not because I'm antisocial, but because I feel patronised when laughing in a silent crowd).
He totally meant Nega-Scott ;) - and I know what you mean about being the only guy laughing in a cinema - I think half the jokes flew over the majority of the audience's head and nailed my funny bone. There were several odd looks...

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.

I wanted to see it, but I couldn't stay out as late as I wanted because I had to attend a wedding the next day. I haven't gone to the theaters in a while.
No Excuse! I was getting married the next day and my entire wedding party went out to see it!
That's really amazing. Not my wedding though, so I couldn't do it.

uurrrm... i don't quite understand your question... but i hope this answers it
I don't think people's sexuality is written in their genes or anything.
For your consideration:

i guess this opinion formed when one of my friends was telling me about how her cousin is definitely gay, but that he couldn't help it, all about how he tried really hard to be straight but couldn't do it. I met him and it was a pile of crap, he'd only tried like, 2 girls, carefully making sure to pick the biggest bitches he could. He went in half-heartedly, trying to hate the experience as much as possible.
and i guess i don't like it when people pretend to give things a go but don't try at all... unless they are forced to do so... urgh, i'm such a contradictory person xD
i don't understand why you have to "try" at all. I certainly didn't need to try dating men to know I wasn't attracted to them.

No because as with almost every other really great movie for the past 2 years I was the only one who wanted to see it and I don't have a freaking car. Ohh and the cherry on top I was planning on going to see it for my birthday and the fuckers at the theater stopped showing it on the EXACT same day we went, sorry I'm more then a bit annoyed about this.

Haven't seen either Scott Pilgram or The Expendables. I love moives but don't go out to see them a lot because I work overnight then spend most of the day sleeping. I should make an effort because I really am falling behind on my movie watching, oh also on having any form of a life what so ever.

I haven't seen it because I didn't feel like going to a theater for two hours. I am just that lazy.

There was a lot of bullshit involved

Michaels acting
Shit instrument battles, a guitar battle would have been so much better
Very small video game references at the best of times
and it's just embarrassing to watch at many points

However, it was a good laugh. If a little overhyped by nerds saying it was "EPIC" and "FULL OF WIN" or something along those lines

I said I know around 15 people who claim to be Bisexual, not 15 year-olds.

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.
Whatever- I still see them as young, 'modern', 'alternative' morons; the people who are custom-build to grind my gears. I hate those types.
