It's good! The first review is in, and while it's not exactly in depth, it's certainly glowing.
Greg Mottola(Director of Superbad/Adventureland) has seen an early cut of
Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrin Vs The World , and here's his take on it...
"Be very jealous of me. I’ve seen an entire cut of SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD. Edgar Wright has made a classic (again)! It’s amazing. … I would say that Scott Pilgrim is the wittiest action movie you’ll ever see, but that’s just the half of it. … Needless to say, Michael Cera is perfect. In fact, every single performance is incredible. You’ve got something special to look forward to. … The filmmaking is so insanely good, I retired halfway through the movie. (looking forward to the pension checks, tho)"
Earlier, Juno/Up in the Air director Jason Reitman tweeted a mini-review of the film which he called “a game changer for Edgar and the genre” and “the first all encompassing film of the joystick generation.”
So, very high praise indeed. I have to say, as much as I love the idea of any comic book adaptation, this one didn't have me very exited. Has anyone out there in CBM land read these comics? Wright is rumored to be writing and directing a live action Ant-Man movie soon after Pilgrim goes on release.
