To his credit, Edgar Wright had to adapt six books into one movie. That being said, it did take 30 minutes for the first fight between Scott and one of the Evil Exes to come on screen. My only other complaint was I just didn't feel Michael Cera was right for the role. I've liked him in other movies but he just didn't feel like "Scott Pilgrim" to me.
Despite those complaints, it is a movie worth seeing. The process of turning Scott Pilgrim's world into live-action wasn't an easy feat. Visually, there is a lot to see. I wouldn't want to see it on anything other than high-definition. Also so much of the movie is centered around music and the audio on this release is showcases the different bands.
== TEASER ==
There is nearly ten minutes of bloopers. There wasn't anything majorly funny but it was interesting to see how many takes it took for Michael Cera to toss the Amazon package over his shoulder and into the garbage when he was asking out Ramona.
There's no question that you get a lot in terms of the special features. Some of them are really interesting in seeing how the different visual effects were added. There are others you could probably live without. Overall, it's a pretty sweet release. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World wasn't a perfect movie but it was fun and entertaining. It's funny in some ways watching a movie where the main characters aren't too likable (Scott and Ramona). It's unfortunate that the movie wasn't a bigger success at the box office. There is a lot that went into making this movie and most of the special features here are worth checking out. The HD release really showcases the visual and audio production that went into the film and this will make a good addition to your collection. You also get a DVD and Digital Copy. I would give the movie and this release a solid 4 out of 5. It's a movie that I will watch from time to time. There's just something about it that leaves me wanting more.
