And I'm bound to have missed out something awesome that I'm just too unhip to have seen. Fill me in in the comments.

Did you read the Scott Pilgrim comics? Because a lot of the movie's strangeness was due to its being a loving homage to the (utterly fantastic) comic, and the movie's enjoyable enough ending is nothing like the comic's jaw-dropping but ultimately unfilmable conclusion. So really, I'm not disagreeing with your assessment of the movie so much as taking an opportunity to talk up the source material.

I loved True Grit so, so much.

I clearly need to read the comic. Scott Pilgrim was best for me when it was weirdest, and worst when it decided to go into lovingly filmed action sequence mode; but it felt like chunks were missing and I guess that's all in the books. On the whole there was loads to like; lots of things that I really don't think have been tried in films before; and what tipped me from BAD to GOOD on the binary scale was a couple of *superb* lines.

If you like the lines, may I present my wife's lj icons as (often contextless) indicators of the sheer brilliance of the comic.

I agree that the action sequences often lost me -- especially the Katayanagi fight, which is so many billion times more amazing in the comic, geez.

I know many people who really love the comics, so I know I'm missing out on quite a lot of depth and stuff from them. I'm intending to get round to them at some point :)
