Saw it yesterday, I agree with whoever said that it felt a bit rushed during the second half- with the exception of the fight with Gideon. I felt that was given as much time as was needed, as was done very nicely (even though it was totally different from the book lol). I also particularly loved how Scott handled NegaScott in the movie. One complaint, though, is that they skipped over most of the third book, which was my favorite. Since they took out most of Envy and Scott's dynamic, and didn't reveal the whole Todd was cheating on Envy thing, that whole part seemed totally weird. Also no Envy coming back like in Book 6, she just kinda disappeared (yes I know that book six wasn't out when this movie was written but it felt awkward to just pull Envy out for one scene then have her vanish into thin air). The moral of the book and the movie were totally different too, while the book's moral was "learn from your mistakes and don't be a dick" the movie was more "respect yourself and don't be a dick." Not that it was bad, on the contrary, it was great and I loved it. Just different.

Also Book three had great lines like "Today a child is born unto us, and his name will be bacon" and "The man is a dick, baby. He hates us vegans and truth seekers." They weren't in there.


Also I am now totally gay for Kieran Culkin.

Yeap, saw it a few days ago and I really liked it. Will probably be one of the few movies I get on DVD

As much as they chopped out of the books, I really liked the finished product. (Actually, I finished the books just so I could see the movie. i really stopped reading them after "Gets it Together") I know that stuff has to be changed and moved around to make a good adaptation, but for some changes I was just thinking "Why?"
Knowing that the story was written before "Finest Hour" clears up a lot. But the movie stood well on it's own, and did not need the fame or fandom of the comics to make it a good movie.

I really enjoyed it, however it could have been longer. Seeing some actual chemistry between Scott and Romona would have been nice, as well as spacing out the fights scenes more.

Damn it, I wanted to see more of the supporting cast. Sex Bob-omb are great.
