It felt like the whole ending fight thing and Ramona saying "You two make a good combo" it was like Scott learned something and he did. IT felt emotionally right to me that he was gonna stay with Knives. I still like that he went with Ramona because them walking into subspace together as they played Ramona was beautiful.
It'd be different if he realized it himself, provided it happened early enough. If Ramona essentially tells him who he should be with, though, it makes him a little too passive for my taste, even if he takes it well and the new relationship isn't just a rebound after losing Ramona.
Plus, Knives accepting Scott back that easily would kind of negate the personal growth she showed when she told Scott to go after Ramona.
I agree with this. I'll be very interested on the DVD to see if Knives really was the original ending, or if the early previews that had that ending were just show so as to not spoil the comic (which wasn't out at the time of those previews, I think.
The whole scene with Knives was perfect. She's grown up; there's closure in whatever relationship she and Scott had. It was a great ending.

I thought Kim was great, especially given how she didn't have as much screen time as Wallace or Knives. All her withering insults were perfect, as was the menacing stare at the party.
And not that it's important, but I thought she was cute.
The MNS groaning happened when I went to see Inception, too. We were all watching this kind of "okay... what?" preview and it was all DIRECTED BY MNIGHTSHAMA-
uuuggghhhaaahhahahhaahhaAHAHHAHAHAA
*clap. clap. clap. clap.*
Didn't he just produce/write it?
I don't think he directed it.
Also, it bummed me out at the snickers in the theater...it looks like a great direct-to-DVD horror film.
Yeah, I like really spare horror films like Cube which focus on a limited cast in a relatively bare setting as they descend into madness or whatever.
It also seems to me that Night's films get worse as they become more high-concept and ambitious, which leads me to believe that you might reverse the trend by taking him back to basics.
Ugh, why did I read the comments? Why do I torture myself? :x
Anyway, yeah, I kind of expected this. It's making me really sad that some people aren't even willing to give this film a chance. I know movies are expensive these days but come on...

I think word of mouth might help the film. There weren't a whole lot of people at my 7pm showing tonight--maybe 1/8 full? But general reaction seemed very positive.
The movie will likely be a cult classic and make up for the box office with DVD sales.

Saw the movie. I loved it and and I love the change with the final two battles. My sister doesn't read comics, but she actually liked this movie (and I actually liked "Eat, Pray, Love" which is what she made me see).
It was weird, both movies dealt with similar themes, it's just that Scott Pilgrim did it in a more stylistic way that doesn't bother people.

I saw this movie just a few hours ago. There were only a few people in the theater. I liked it even if it did feel like they had a hard time getting certain needed plot points in without making the movie too long.

How does 'Eat, Pray, Love' bothers people?
Basically because it's about how an entitled rich woman got richer, spiritually and monetarily.
Scott's band doesn't suck enough considering how often it's said that they do.
Oz's band in Buffy had the same oddity. Oz would always talk about how lame they were, but they sounded fine.
Maybe they figured if they were really that bad, it would be more annoying to people when they kept having to listen to them?
Also, people, be more careful about Book Six and movie spoilers, k?

That makes no sense.
Is this because I'm not as misogynist at the rest of the world?

Woo, finished book 6 and now I'm ready for the movie in a few hours.
The whole thing was much more awesome than I expected from my initial glances at the books some time ago.
Is Lisa even in the movie? I don't see her name in the credits on IMDB, and that would make me a sad panda.
She is not in the movie. They had to cut it for time.
I was listening to an interview of Edgar Wright and he said that he never planned to have Lisa in the movie. As well that before Book 4 came out, he was planning on combining Envy and Roxy into one person.

Well "cut for time" in this case meant "they never considered putting it in there"

Movie did the comedy good when it took lines from the book but was not that funny otherwise. Cast was mostly extremely good except Knives who nearly killed every scene she was in. Did not enjoy her at all. Cera did a really good job.
Action was very well done.
The movie was better at the start than at the end. After the Todd fight it went downhill.

Yeah, basically. "Oh, she's White, middle class and she's unhappy? Pfft, like she has problems". If someone left that bullshit at the door and actually just watched the film and learned "Hey, everyone is unhappy sometimes no matter their position in life", they'd actually enjoy the film. And it's a lot of feminists ragging on it.
Fuck it, my multiracial, broke as hell living with her parents ass got something from the film.
Just saw this and loved the hell out of it. Definitely going to watch it again soon.
Much like the books, the movie starts out slow, but about 1/3 of the way in it just becomes so incredible and never quits. Michael Cera never becomes my vision of Scott Pilgrim, but he plays the character in the film well and I have no regrets about his casting.
Best part of the movie
"Yeah, I saw the movie and the comics are way better."
Just saw this, liked it. I kinda liked Michael Cera as Scott. He made the role his own, which is probably better than just trying to copy the comics word for word. I thought the first ex was pretty groan-inducing though.

Pilgrim not doing fantastically...
This film will be lucky to open at 3rd place against most 25+ year old males seeing Expendables and every 25+ woman seeing Eat Pray Love.
As much as I loved this movie, it was/is doomed for failure.

Maybe it's supposed to be ironic? It's just Stills who mainly frets about it.

No, I'm pretty sure they are supposed to suck.
Ramona, Knives, and Neil all agree as well.
EDIT:
OMG, I'm listening to the sound track, and I'm So Sad, So Very, Very, Sad is on it and is still only like 5 seconds long.

Actually yes.
The marketing push for this was massive. Almost biblical.
Why it hasn't done better really is a bit of a mystery.
he tried really hard, I'll give him that. I didn't like him very much at all but it could have been worse...much much worse
It's been out for less than 24 hours. Like I said, word of mouth will help this film.

No it isn't. The cast doesn't have anyone that draws. Michael Cera has killed any draw he had with shit like Year One.
