Scott Pilgrim Vs the World

I’ll agree the movie was t exactly marketed right but I can’t really see how you can market this movie right to begin with. There’s too many injokes related to an entire subculture, it’s just too much to explain in a 30 second ad.

The reason why the movie tanked was that they had no clue how to market it; After having seen it (on opening day), I can see why. Just watching the different versions of the trailers had it angled as a (romantic) comedy in one, and a visual action movie in another. I’m sure it confused the people who know just about nothing about the graphic novels or video games and were going in expecting one kind of movie, but end up with just a feeling of confusion and sensory overload.

This movie definitely was targeted for our ADD generation, but I think given the material the director did a fantastic job of trying to make his adaptation of the comic as mass-appeal as possible. I can’t see this movie being made any other way.

The soundtrack is also fantastic.

A friend of mine who doesn’t really play Videogames watching it and still liked it. I did have to explain alot of it though while she called me a nerd the whole time.

I’d have to say the game is a mixture of 16-32 bit graphics honestly.

There are some instances of 8 bit graphics, but saying the entire game is 8 bit isnt true. The term 8 bit has become so over used, it’s like calling a tissue a kleanex.

edit I can imagine this film probably didn’t do that well at the box office. What a shame. The same thing that makes it remarkable is the same thing that doesn’t make it marketable.

I heard it did well in terms of DVD/blu ray sales. Hopefully that made up for the subpar box office.
