I'm really looking forward to this flick.

For those that are interested, you can currently listen to the whole Scott Pilgrim soundtrack at spinner.ca. I think the sound track is pretty sweet to be honest.

Probably not going to see it... sick of Cera. Anything after Arrested Development and Superbad sucks.

I'm only interested in it because it's directed by Edgar Wright. I'l probably wait until it's out on video though.

Michael Cera needs to do a role where is isnt the wimpy emo high school kid. His schtick got old real fast.

It isn't acting if you play yourself in EVERY single movie.

I saw it last night. It was better than I thought it was going to be. It was what you would expect from Cera, indie music and awkwardness. But with video games and a comic book feel added to the mix. I don't think it will appeal to everyone as it has an almost attention deficit disorder speed to it and it's pretty geeky with all the video game references in it. But it was fun and I laughed quite a bit.

7/10

This is one of the reasons I am unsure about this movie. In the comics, Scott Pilgrim isn't really wimpy and definitely not emo. He's more of a regular early 20s dude. Hopefully Cera can pull that off.

Trailer looked awesome though. Still very much looking forward to seeing it.

I thought that as well until I saw Youth in Revolt

he is excellent in that, and its a great movie

so I will give him a few more chances, and this looks good and its getting pretty good reviews

hmm... really ugly girls and dorky guys...

I don't get the hype? I love comic movies and I thought KickAss! was really good but this does not seem interesting

I'm really intrigued by this movie. The whole video game/comic feel and Edgar Wright directing it makes me think it would be a cool watch. I liked Shuan of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.

I think I'm going to pass on this one. I hate myself whenever I see a Cera film.

Why do all the ex boyfriends look 10 years older than Michael Cera?

He's 22, but looks 15 in the this movie. I think it's his hair.

I think I will be far more likely to see The Expendables in the theatre, this one will probably be iTunes-ed when it is released. My wife sounded interested in it but I don't think it's worth the effort to see at the theatre.

Yeah, Cera's quite the babyface. If this movie is remotely faithful to the source it should NOT be a typical Cera movie. If it is, between that and Avatar (shymalan's, not Cameron's) I will have lost all hope for Hollywood.

I'm going to go see The Expendables, then wait outside the theatres showing Scott Pilgrim, and beat up the hipsters leaving the show. Then, I'll wander over to Eat, Pray, Love and bone a lonely girl.

I like how Anne from Arrested Development is apparently in it based on the 2nd trailer.

Her?

I'm starting to make a list as I get older when it comes to particular actors playing and the roles they have in movies:

Michael Cera plays Michael Cera
Leo DiCaprio plays Leo DiCaprio
Christopher Walken plays Christopher Walken
Jet Li plays Jet Li

I could go on but I'm sure you get the idea!!
