>>84854376
It's a fun little plot though, the idea is pretty clever. At least if you are making a movie that is 100% style over substance.

>>84853929
This movie is like a time capsule of the year 2010 though.

Not sure if that's good or bad.

Hamona worst girl

As far as I'm concerned its become somewhat of a cult classic.

It's a bad idea to make a film dedicated to people who know how to pirate

It would have been profitable as a Netflix release though, i think a movie like this was a few years too early

>>84854666
It only made 1.5 million overseas. I imagine that means it probably only got released in a handful of cities.

If you hyper focus on it like that, kinda yeah.

>>84854752
this

in my opinion i think it was a poorly advertised film due to the concept and thus why it failed at the box office. critically praised throughout and have even gained a cult following in the last few years.

I personally love the film

>>84853929
It flopped because no one even heard of Scott Pilgrim outside of comic fans at the time.
Comics weren't really "cool" yet either, so people weren't clamoring to see it.
Plus, a leaked copy was online a month before release.

Can Wright do anything wrong? His last 5 films have all been at least great.

It's a good thing. Some people will say it's dated because of that but it did capture that moment in time perfectly and the movie itself is still great.

It was a really fucking annoying film. there were some bits, the fight with the twins or whatever they were and chris evans, that's it. the rest is obnoxious trash.

The movie looks retarded as fuck until you actually watch it. Can't blame no one for wanting a super quirky Micheal Cera capeshit comedy.

It was proto reddit flick

>>84853929
I really miss when you could enjoy this kind of humour around here without being called a cancerous faggot or a redditor.

anyone else read the graphic novels?

most of the characterizations were fine, but Cera as Scott is such a weird fit. he toned down the awkwardness a little, but Scott is spastic and mildly selfish/dickish and that didn't really come across

anyway, nice seeing Toronto showcased in cinema so prominently. good film.

>>84853929
I'm pretty sure it did well on Bluray though. I don't know any high school to college aged kid who doesn't own a copy of it.

10/10 reddit tier, as someone mentioned earlier, it is "Cuckold The Movie". And people defend this garbage by saying it had alot of style. The problem is that the style was garbage to. Will not rewatch.

i didn't really like it

>>84854736
This is true, for whatever reason it was popular to spam the word "hipster" about this movie/comic/video game without even having read or seen it. Or knowing what a hipster is.

So I dunno why people were so dumb about it, but it seemed so unfair to me that I went ahead and gave the comic a try. And I liked it.

Ramona and Scott were cringe and they were the basis of the movie, so yes the acting was shit. a combined 20 minutes of screen time from his roommate, Aubrey Plaza, Anna Kendrick, Chris Evans, Brie Larson, and Jason Schwartzman don't even bring it up a letter grade when the other two are in every scene.

I'm not even a "boy who cried reddit" thing or anything, hell I even enjoy a lot of films and movies called reddit, but this movies was just vapid nonsense honestly. Maybe it was cool in 2010 but now it just comes off as an annoying slog that bombards you with excessive visuals in an attempt to wow you. I'm honestly astonished as to how many people here like it, i think the money it made was exactly what it deserved and I'm glad that we didn't get movies inspired by it as a result

I think it failed for various reasons

For one, they tried to squeeze 5(?) books into 90 minutes. I think splitting it into 2 parts might've suited them better.

For two, didn't this come out as soon as the series ended? Also wasn't it a relatively obscure series at that? Nobody knw what this was.

This is what happens when you try to fit 7 books into a single movie and then give up on adapting it halfway through.

>>84863350
It wasn't obscure. Several million copies sold before the movie came out, then roughly another mil of the 6 main books after the movie came out.

Its a cultural success which is more important

>>84857262
this was the original ending until test audiences dissapproved and they changed it. knives is so based

Where the fuck did 60 mil go? This movie sucked fat dick.

>>84863156
80s hollywood was shitty in a different way

>>84863350
They wanted to make the movie before the story was finished, so there was a script that went through changes a few times.
