Scott Pilgrim gets dominated.

I agree with some past comments
Expendables had big name actors blah blah blah
But Id much rather see a movie that tries something different,
I guess the majority would rather see something blatant and something that colors inside the lines
Than something that tries something different and frightens the majority.

All I know about that Scott Pilgrim movie is that, "It's Twilight for boys." That was enough for me to never even care if I found out anymore beyond that.
Well, this big mass of hatred that was formerly a thread is certainly a good advertisement for the movie if noting else. I may actually watch it now... The expendables however, maybe not. I like seeing things blow up just as much as the next guy but I'm not paying to see explosions and an average plot.
I had no interest to begin with. I was turned-off from it forever, when it was confirmed there was no reason for me to have interest in it to begin with anyway.stubbmann said:
That does suck. I really enjoyed scott pilgrim. I didn't hate the expendables as baddly as movie bob but i do think it was overated.
Michael Cera is not a terrible actor, its called being "typecast". That's when an actor is written into the same sort of character in several roles. You know, actors like:
Sylvester Stallone - action guy
Arnold Schwarzenegger - action guy
Jim Carrey - wacky, white-friendly funny guy
But yes, I will concede that he's made some terrible films.
i.e. - Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

So a film is successful just because they dump in a bunch of celeb actors? That just isn't right.
I think that more than a few people have made a grave mistranslation concerning the seething, belligerent but much justifiable rage that has sprung up right across the Geekdom in response to Micheal Bay and his Transformer flicks. You don't butcher a much beloved and cherished childhood memory without getting a fair amount of backlash the original audience. Movie Bob does have a rather nasty habit in his reviews of trying to associate with transformers every big budget Hollywood flick he finds exception with.
It doesn't work, so here's the straight dope.
The majority of us just would not care if Michael Bay was making squillion-dollar movies about anthropomorphic robotic lifeforms from space, provided they had nothing to do with the transformers brand. It'd just be just yet another disappointing, quickly forgotten summer blockbuster among many.
