Quote from: BinaryClock;1770190Just read the book and I am so mad now that Joseph is not in the movie. I love how his relationship was quietly built throughout the course of the entire series. I love his character, I love how he interacts with the other characters and him + stills made me smile and giggle more than pretty much anything

Basically I'm freaking out a little. Freaking out a lot

Well keep in mind that the film departs for chapter 6 because they didn't have access to it when making it and had to make it up apart from a few suggestions and small ideas from Bryan Lee O'Malley so the big climax to him and Stills' relationship wasn't there. So without knowing about the ending, Joseph does seem periphery.

scott pilgrim is gonna be a great movie. My main problem with the movie is that one movie abridging an entire six book series might not be enough. I can understand why they would go with only one movie, but i really hope that they still retain the charm and laughs from the silly banter that goes ons

In all honesty BLOM's art style is suited more to static comics than animated cartoons.

GearBoxClock · August 03, 2010, 11:25:23 PM

It is an odd way of animating it.
I can't help but think of the Watchmen Motion Comic

IDK, I think the simplicity of his style would work really well for frame-by-frame animation. Unfortunately, nobody is going to pay for fbf anymore.

Biblo · August 04, 2010, 06:28:45 AM

I dunno. While I do think that animated thing would look better as a handdrawn animation, the style they picked works fine. Nothing life changing but it doesn't jar me. The silhouettey bit in the trailer looks great!

There's a thing on Facebook somewhere where you can make a Scott Pilgrim avatar.

Posting here because I finished reading Scott Pilgrim 6 two days ago.

I don't know why I didn't like the ending. The final battle was kind of badass, but it did not impress me so much. I dunno, I think I expected something better from the ending.

Oh and yeah, I was freaking out a lot.

Seein a preview screening tonight with friends. I'll let y'alls know how it is.

Back from the movie. The movie was great when it was following the book. The pacing was breakneck but still worked and the movie was hilarious and immensely enjoyable.

However, after the fight with Lucas Lee, the movie starts to deviate heavily from the books. I don't care about that, that's fine, but as soon as the movie started doing its own thing, the pacing really started to suffer. After the fight with Todd, the whole movie just seemed rushed and it lost a lot of the charm and character built up in the first half of the movie and instead became more of a "Scott fought this person, he goes on to the next fight, and after that the next fight". By the end of the movie it's pretty much all just fighting. Again, I wouldn't care so much if it weren't for the fact that the pacing of the movie is bad and you can't escape the feeling of how rushed the movie is.

It's still a great movie, it's hilarious and awesome and Wallace (my favorite character from the series) is awesome, but everything starts to falter the second half of the movie. It's a shame the second half couldn't match the quality of the movie in the beginning because it was pretty fucking fun to watch at first.

So, kinda disappointing, a great movie until after the fight with Todd, and then it becomes a flash of colors that start to make less and less sense as it goes on.

Still loved the movie, I just think they could have made it so much better with even just an extra 10 minutes in the film.

Topcatyo · August 13, 2010, 12:36:21 AM

Also I realized about 5 minutes ago there are extra, side-comics of the series to read on the site and now I'm realizing that some of the stuff in the movies are from these extra side comics. Good to know.

WHERE THE FUCK WAS THE GLOW

Topcatyo · August 16, 2010, 02:32:23 AM

Not a lot of love for the movie in this thread. What did everyone else think of the movie?

TabascoClock · August 16, 2010, 09:41:33 AM

I saw it Saturday, and I loved it. I agree that the last act felt kind of rushed, but the dialogue and characters were so good and so well executed by the actors. It was a really fun and smart movie, probably gonna see it again.

hey i liked it! in fact i loved it! its just that the glow was so important...

I have to admit I haven't read the books yet. It'll probably be a while before I do.

That said, the movie was pretty awesome, I loved how it had a great dash of humor mixed in with a pretty strong plot. Having not read the books I can say the story built itself well enough through the movie to stand on its own. Sure, it was outrageously fast paced but that sort of worked for this movie, what with all the action and stuff they put in. I liked the end, which may annoy some of the "true fans" but while it started to become an action flick, the deal with Giddeon was pretty cool, and I liked his character for it.

Also I loved Wallace. He is pretty darn gay. And I:

Am satisfied with this.

I consider myself a pretty big fan of the comics, but i thought the ending was fine. The only reason why it was significantly different is because they didn't have access to the final book while making the movie. The ending was very satisfying, and it did pay off

Just go back from it. Liked it just as much as the books. I laughed a lot and thoroughly enjoyed it.
