Scott Pilgrim vs. The World - Every Edgar Wright Movie Ranked & Reviewed

[@lokithor99]

I am not in lesbians with some of these people's take on this masterpiece

[@legendofhayden]

Andy, the point is that Cera ISN’T a ladykiller. they cast Scott that way on purpose

[@elimanator]

Ya Scott isn't a lady killer, just a lovable door that has this charming nugget inside covered up by procrastination and a general fuck up

[@jonimated]

The quality of Greg's plot recap is directly connected to how much he enjoyed the movie.

[@happenstanceuk]

Zac Efron as Scott Pilgrim sounds absolutely terrible

[@wolfe5471]

glad i’m not the only one that thought this

[@LuisTorres-kb6tv]

I know it’s a personal taste but I feel like you don’t need a “likeable” character to have a good character, Scott has a good arc I feel, that being said no way Zac Efron nails the line delivery like Michael Cera, and as far as the movie goes (and all of Edgar Wright’s films) the movie just oozes style and is not lazy when it comes to the technical execution and the script

[@BillPivetz]

Zac Efron? Scott as a "lady killer?" What horrible takes lol

[@jonimated]

The number of times the "Scott"and "Lady killer" were said in the same sentence made me legitimately grit my teeth.

I’m surprised to see a lot of people hating on this movie. I love it. Top 3 Edgar Wright for me.

[@crosstownslayer7013]

every single time i’m hyped for In Review on a film i love... Kinda Funny goes “eh it’s finel

[@Parenegade]

holy shit Zac Efron as Scott pilgrim sounds like the worst casting decision I have ever heard. If Greg doesn't like the movie or have any passion you guys shouldn't make him rehash the plot. It just kinda takes away from the fun of the whole thing.

[@littleleafers]

This is my favorite movie! One thing that stands out to me is that Scott and Ramona are villains. This isn't a hero story it's a redemption story.

[@patricksmith6334]

The guy with the glasses has no consistency. When he likes a movie he relays the plot better but when he doesn't care for it it shows and it really brings down my enjoyment of these reviews.

[@damp2269]

i haven't seen many of their reviews but being fair a lot happens on scott and the timeline is easy to screw up.maybe your right maybe greg just had a hard time reacalling everything in order.

[@ThatOtherPerson1]

Seems like this movie has been getting a resurgence lately, which I'm extremely happy about! But it's worth noting, Scott and Ramona are not supposed to be good, likeable people.

[@supertoaster123]

Isn’t the fact the characters kinda suck the satirical point of the movie

[@elimanator]

Ya hes not a perfect conventional movie hero, hes a general mess up thats stuck in a rut and doesn't no what to do, very relatable dude not every person evolves into captain America after a character arc. Some people (id argue almost all outside of movies) simply take small baby steps of growth to becoming better

For the movies Greg isnt into, Nick should really do those reviews instead.

[@elimanator]

Ya its totally cool if he doesn't like the movie but it really makes the podcast a worst product (which this is) when the person is so deflated while explaining. Again he can totally not like it and when he's on its dope but its not interesting hearing someone who's super uninterested, who woulda thought

[@KalebKoho]

1. Scott Pilgrim vs The World 2. Hot Fuzz 3. Shaun of the Dead

[@The_RedVIII]

Honestly, almost wish Greg wasn't on this, he almost sounds pissed that he has to recap this, or pissed that he was forced to watch this? I don't know...

[@chris411s]

Agree, but maybe he is having a bad day.

[@startoonhero]

Yah same. I kinda wished Nick did the plot for this

[@aoe41015]

I think he has a thing of not being on some in reviews for movies he just doesn’t like. He does go hard on other in reviews so it’s a balance and honestly after the last two EWIR episodes this movie was probably one he didn’t like. I don’t think he sounded ‘pissed’ moreso just wanted to get back to playing games.

[@sadboycolor]

I fully respect Greg having his own opinion on movies, it’s one of the reasons why I love KF but I also realized that he tends to let his dislike of the movie affect his plot reviews. I had a similar issue when he recapped Lego Batman, if he doesn’t fully gel with a movie he will skip over parts of the film that other people would probably like to point out and discuss. It’s a weird energy to the videos that I wish they would address as a group before going into an episode.

[@Woozie87]

greg has stated he hates doing the plot and and prefers not doing the plot.. no? or am i tripping

[@TheBarackAttack]

“Is that girl a boy too?” “He punched the highlights out of her hair!!” “Sometimes I let him do the wide shots when I feel like gettin’ blazed in my winnie” “Did you really see a future with this girl? Yeah, with jet packs and stuff” This film is the best. (Also I disagree with the Scott Pilgrim ladykiller stuff because I don’t think that’s supposed to be his role)

[@vinnybastos]

"Scott, if your life had a face I would punch it." "Im gonna pee due to boredom" “You punched me in the boob. Prepare to die, obviously!” "I don't think I can hit a girl... They're soft." "She has to go. She knows we suck." So. Many. QUOTABLE. Lines!

[@preacherduderox]

I hate when people mistake unlikeable characters for poorly written characters.

[@damp2269]

???? i think their takes were that they are unlikable not poorly written.

[@joshuabarnett88]

Top 10 anime betrayals of all-time. This is the closest I've ever been to the thumbs down button. This film is not just flawless. It's perfect. It hit at the exact right time in the exact right way. I have seen it countless times, 10 in its original theatrical releases. I can quote it from front to back. The only thing that would have been worse is if that stupid Lord of the Rings sucks bullshit was real. This film fucks. It is literally perfection in every way. I can't believe you guys made me agree with Kevin....

[@incognitomode24]

This movie trash

[@dylanbuc1867]

I didn't like this movie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@silverfoxhole]

casting michael cera as scott makes a lot of sense because how often do you see a hot woman dating an average looking guy who treats them like shit? and in your head, you’re always like damn why don’t they break up with them they could definitely get someone better. that’s scott pilgrim.

[@RetroKidReviews]

kinda funny when they got up to Scott Pilgrim vs. The World : oh yeah me: oh no (friend of a friend plays)

[@MelodicQuest]

This movie's got everything: Superman, Huntress, Captain Marvel, Human Torch, and April Ludgate

[@cubanboy6292]

Greg Miller explaining the plot is excruciatingly painful 😣

[@George-tx1wu]

The hate on Michael Cera is infuriating. He's a poster boy for nerdy dudes during the late 2000's.

[@aoe41015]

I liked him in Superbad, but he’s the actor who needs a good supporting cast to make him good. As an actor he’s mediocre and I really think they should have went with Michael Amhara o for Scott. He already was in sky high with MEW and they were good together.

[@MatthewFritsche]

Saying this constructively, when Greg does the recap of a movie he doesn't like it really really brings down the energy. The energy to listen it and it also seems to impact the rest of the guys as well.

[@KratosRager]

after watching 8 minutes and then reading a lot of the comments, I'd rather not finish this review. I'd rather not see them shit on what an amazing movie this is. I've seen it so many times cause it's just so damn good.

[@eliot327]

They really don't shit on it. It's mostly positive until like the end. Even then nobody hates the movie, the most heavily critical is Greg.

[@starman69]

Scott pilgrim has the same cast crazyness of True Romance. You’re like “THEYRE IN THIS?!”

[@usedfuzzbox]

Although Shaun of the Dead is great, this is easily my favourite of these. Even just stylistically, it's a cracking film in it's own right, and it has some great tunes too! Yes, Micheal Cera is the weak link, although great in other roles, like Youth in Rebellion....

[@Throwerguy]

Revolt

[@avd_designs_]

I really love this movie because your not supposed to like Scott until the end when he learns not to be a horrible person, Also I loved all the references Tim brought up, there all amazing.

[@sadboycolor]

I am happy to hear such a range of opinions on this movie and different aspects of it being discussed critically, but like the Lego Batman In Review I again find Greg’s disdain for a film affecting the plot synopsis. He steamrolls through plot and jokes and gives little (if any) room for people to interject or make their own points. It’s not as bad LBIR but it was another episode I found uncomfortable and tense to listen to (I generally listen to the podcast episodes). I love KF and everyone involved and in no way do I mean to offend Greg or anyone else here, just felt the need to share because it’s rare that KF content ever makes me feel anything less than joy.

[@startoonhero]

Yes, thank you. Maybe it's my fault for being super excited for this episode, only to be let down by Greg just speeding through and not remembering the plot. Which then I felt like, the others wanted to make points about the movie, but since the plot was moving so fast and parts forgotten, they didn't get to interject.

[@loganbigmo]

That intro was gold! Nice editing

[@dylanh8163]

I think this movie definitely has a bunch of flaws, but it's a visually entertaining movie and is a great way to show how weird and versatile Edgar Wright is. The second half does definitely rush through a lot, and I think that this movie coming out after the graphic novels may have helped it. Also, I always use this movie as an example of "movies I like where you're not supposed to like the main character at first."

[@icywinterof88]

that plot song was fucking incredible

[@dylanh8163]

Posting my haikus here because I was proud of them The soundtrack is great Seven ex boyfriends, not eight Steve Rodgers can skate? Pilgrim kind of sucks Dating a high schooler? Yuck But Sex Bob-Omb fucks! Scott learns from mistakes And earns the power of love And Self respect, too.

[@joshuacameron5333]

I enjoy all of Edgar Wright's movies but Scott Pilgrim is by far my favorite, these guys are crazy.

[@PrettyGoodSamuel]

They're not meant to be good people though... That's the point

[@elimanator]

It is kinda the whole point, there real young adults who are still learning. Its like when Greg delivers his I used to say gay but learned it was wrong story. They are dumb young people learning what's right and wrong. I feel like if they watched a movie of there own arcs as young people becoming responsible adults they'd say "the characters just not likeable" 🤣

[@madrocts]

No...no. Andy, if Zac Efron was playing Scott Pilgrim, he would be even more insufferable.

[@josephhanson5685]

Love this movie, disappointed to hear they guys reactions. Greg especially has issue of a character is not perfect; see Superman verses his opinion of RDR2.

[@elcapitan2293]

Sigh, from these comments it might be best of i skip this episode. Its sounds like they missed the point of some of these characters. Pretty much no one here is a good person, except maybe , Neil and Knives.

[@frenchy3000]

Anyone else notice that Ramona's hair colour follows the different colours of the Cornettos and in the order of the films? Red for Shaun of the Dead, Blue for Hot Fuzz and green for World's End. Edgar Wright thought of everything

[@jarrodalvarado9315]

49:45 this is the most disappointing moment of my life

[@The_RedVIII]

I think the casting of Cera is brilliant. I hate that a lady killer needs to necessarily look like Zac Efron to be believeable. I live that Scott looks like a dork but is just so self confident that he can talk his way into getting dates with pretty girls. And I think that's somewhat of a good message to dorky looking boys. Also this movie has no flaws TIM, it's perfect. Videogames, rock n Roll and kung fu all in one movie. And that cast. Perfect.

[@vinnybastos]

I think that if he was a jerk AND looked like Zac Efron, Scott would be too unlikeable.

[@aoe41015]

Agree with everything but the Cera casting. I just don’t find him a good fit at all. I really want this franchise to be picked up for a season to really explore and have fun with the ex battles. If it wasn’t for the supporting cast this movie would have definitely not got its cult following.

[@watermelonslipstream5467]

Its like they forget that even in "nerdy" groups people were always in several relationships

[@Unbuliebubble]

I love Fran in this movie, his lustrous hair is the best thing about this movie....

[@ThatGuyKeondre]

I think the book works better because Scott's development is actually earned, alot of people see scott as this polarizing character but if you actually read the books he does get better and change

[@aoe41015]

That’s Why it deserves a series.

[@emirrahman6845]

As a 23 year old, this is hands down my favorite movie of all time. Me and my friends quote this movie all the time, and all of the casting was spot on.

[@KeaganRileyZombies8keagan]

I think the point of this story is that you don't need to be punching women to be a bad guy and that even if you identify as some puppy dog nerd you can can still hurt people. Part of growing up is realizing that. That definitely resonates with me because I spent a lot of my early 20s thinking I was a victim in my relationships when come to think of it, I was just as culpable, if not entirely to blame for how things went. It plays as more of a redemption story (which is much better developed in the comics but I think enough is here for it to work but that's subjective). Anyway, big ups to Kev dog who I don't believe I have ever agreed with on anything ever in the history of anything until now 👏👌♥️

[@edusszfx]

The Nick VS Greg bit on this, is on point!

[@DiogoExMarques]

Scott is a jerk. Like you said nearly every character calls him out at some point for it. Why do you think he and Nega Scott get along? Ramona is a bit of a bitch, her words. They're not great people. There is such a thing as a protagonist that isn't heroic... The movie is a perfect adaptation when it comes to nailing the essence of the books (obviously it is compressed taking around 3 weeks vs the books' many months and they diverge in the ending since the movie came out first.) Also Zac Efron as Scott makes zero sense. Scott is an indie rock cute dorky soft guy. Efron is a good actor but this simply doesn't fit with ANYTHING we've seen him do, meanwhile it's exactly the Michael Cera shtick.

[@georgechance6712]

[@Ruhul612]

I don’t get why people are saying Greg sounds like he doesn’t want to do the plot. I’ve watched every other in review and he sounds pretty standard to me. Yes in some reviews he’s super animated but it’s usually based on his energy that day or if it’s a movie he really loves, and that makes sense. He still points out moments he likes even when he’s not high energy.

[@startoonhero]

He didn't remember half of it, sped through it, and said "uhhhhhhh" most of the time. While I do agree that it is comparable to his past reviews, at least in his other reviews when he loves a movie, he really gets into it.

[@Orson_Welp]

As a counterpoint to Andy's lady-killer take, I think it would've been such a cliche if Scott was played by a Zac Efron, Dave Franco, Harry Styles, etc. Because Scott is just some guy, it feels more realistic and less like a trope. I've met people who looked as harmless as Michael Cera, and were perfectly capable of both attracting and emotionally hurting others.

[@RileyWadden]

This was only my second time watching this movie, first time I saw it was years ago. I loved it so much and I'm really enjoying these directors in review. I've lived my whole life in Toronto, Canada and if I ever get the chance to direct my own feature film I'd love to set it here. With this movie and Andy's top recommendation for Nirvanna the Band the Show, Toronto needs more love in entertainment as it's proven to be it's own great character.

[@MeneMrMustard]

My personal ranking is probably the exact reverse of theirs. I was so flabbergasted hearing them go around the table on their thoughts on the movie. How do they not all love this movie? I don't get it.

[@8bitdee]

Petition to have them redo this episode but with either Kevin or Tim do the recap, because this movie is fucking awesome that Greg’s disinterested plot recap does it so much injustice and makes it sound like its the most boring movie ever.

I don't think Scott is likeable but he's realistic in how self centered he is. I hate to say it but I've been that guy before. Especially at that age. It's realistic that he didn't become a completely different person by the end of the movie but he grew up a little bit.

[@peaches9744]

I'm ashamed to say I didn't know this was a comic/video game before I had watched it for the first time... That being said, I saw it through the lens of a stand alone world. In that sense it's such a nicely crafted movie and world, and the cast is especially amazing looking back on it. It's a movie I can't fully recommend to most people, but I think it's for sure a fun movie to throw on once a year in the winter!
