Shocking considering how much I’ve heard it being talked about. I just looked up the film today and learned that it bombed. I thought it did well.
I didn’t know Scott Pilgrim vs. the World was a box office bomb

It should have done well. It's a brilliant film, with some of the best editing and scene transitions ever...
It's literally my favorite movie. I've seen it fifty times at least. I have the soundtrack too.
It gets better with each viewings. Just love it.

The movie is definitely under-appreciated.

I don’t understand why the cute blond gay guy actor never had a career. He played gay on Broadway in Spring Awakening too, great voice, lantern jawed, comic flair, there must be some story behind his failure when so many from that show launched careers.

I saw it opening weekend and loved it. It must be one of the most well-cast movies ever considering how many people in it went on to have great careers (Chris Evans, Brie Larsen, Anna Kendrick, Keiran Culkin...)

Mae Whitman was the best part.

I've never heard of it. Did it get any Oscar nominations or win anything?

I'm still bummed i missed seeing Scott Pilgrim at the theatres. Brandon Routh was great in this.

R8, I think we can add The Social Network to that list.

R13, erm, The Social Network does. Andrew Garfield, Rooney Mara, Dakota Johnson plus Armie Hammer, Max Minghella. Not sure if Jesse Eisenberg was already a thing. The casting is really impressive.

The bro crew tried hard to make Michael Cera happen. Same people who slipped that fat guy -bearish, can't think of his name -past the goalie. I hope we're moving back towards the Robert Redford mode of screen actor. I can see fugs any day of the week.

Awful title.

Very accurate depiction of Toronto indie types at the time.

Saw it in the theater me loved it. Just watched it again this year and it’s as good as ever.
It would have been even better if it had starred anyone but Michael Cera. Of all the fantastical things that happened in that movie, the idea that three cute girls would fight over him was the least believable part. He was such a LOSER! And, well...he looked like Michael Cera.

R18 well one of them was a high school girl who didn't know any better.

It's a fantastic film with a comic wit that's harder to achieve than most people appreciate. Its release suffered from having no big names attached and a sensibility rooted in comic books and video games that was easy to dismiss. The fact that it's developed a following over time is a testament to its quality, though.

It's a joy to watch. Too meta and smart for most audiences. Loved the cast, and I think it's one of Edgar Wright's best, with just the slightest edge over Sean Of The Dead.

It deserved to be a bomb -- overblown, crappy spectacle that took itself too seriously.
