Of course not. There's only like five other topics about the same exact thing in this sub-forum.

But yes, I own the books and the Blu-ray, and Ramona Flowers sucks.

I've seen the movie. At first I watched it because my brother brought a bootleg dvd copy, it was broken so I torrented it. Long story short, wish I saw in the movie theaters, this movie sadly was not a box office hit. It had great pop culture referneces and hilarious scenes. Oh and don't get me started on

Oh...to be Michael Cera for that one scene. Not other than that...he's a terrible one-sided actor.

I still liked the books better. That and I wasn't really happy with a lot of the casting. Most of all Steven Stills.

Seriously? This movie got hyped up so much because of its gaming influences... I watched it today and yet it was funny and good its not NEARLY as 1337 as some say it is (usage of 1337 is tehre for a reason)

It was an entertaining movie for sure though, but not worth the bloody hype.
Its another instant cultclassic like Kick-Ass and Juno from this era

the movie is awesome, i saw it at a cinema (and i usually don't do that)

it failed at the box office because:
- started against the expendables and some julia roberts movie
- in germany the movie was to start in january, but then was advanced to october
- advertisement was pretty non-existent

maybe after a letter sent to universal containing this: 5filmfreunde (in german)
via google translate:
In this way I wanted to ask you whether it is really smart, a film that is directed to one,
I'd like nerdy, audience call, 4, again in words and large, four months after the American release date in Germany to bring out ?
This audience may know the ways and means with which to bridge the time to save a trip to the cinema.

I never saw the movie or the comic book, but I did see the game made about it. I really want to play it, though I don't have 10 dollars right now...

I was hyping it because it had a fantastic director and art style. Edgar Wright has directed some of the best comedies as of late (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead). Scott Pilgrim definitely oozed his directing style and was great because of it. The art style in general was also fantastic. I mean I watched it and I got the video game references and nerd culture but I felt it was more of a good action-comedy-drama than an ode to nerd culture.

Definitely worth picking up though.

EDIT: Typo.

It's a meh movie at best. I like the score and the art direction but that's about it. The main reason why everyone seems to love it on GBATemp is because of it's gaming culture references and it's nerdy and quirky atmosphere which appeals to people here that love Nintendo. But in reality, it's not the best movie ever, and quite far from it.

Thats fair enough then.. I liked the movie in general. The style was very nice, i did like that but yea for a movie that I thought was based on games I didnt see much references except for the obvious

I apologize to all those people who enjoyed this film, to me this movie had more confusion then Inception. Instead of watching the film and enjoying it. I was more in bewilderment and disgust.

    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    I bet most people at the time still watched it in black and white
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then

    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates
