Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

Scott Pilgrim vs the World is one of my favorite movies, but I had yet to get round to buying it on 4K. When I finally did, I was annoyed to discover that there was no digital code inside the case, despite the fact it was factory sealed and has a Digital copy advertised all over the case.This exact same thing happened earlier this year when I ordered John Carpenter's The Thing on 4K. Both films are Universal releases. For some reason, neither movie came with a digital code in the package (I actually returned The Thing to Amazon for a replacement, and the second copy lacked a digital code as well).Fortunately, Universal customer support will help if you contact them about the situation. They will ask you to provide photos of the front of the case, the back of the case, and the contents of the case (I have included the photos I sent to customer support to my review) after which they will send you a replacement digital code.So if you find yourself code-less when purchasing a Universal release, just reach out to customer support and they will make you whole.

As if the 8-bit version of the Universal opening theme song wasn't awesome enough to make you love this movie, the rest of the movie just kicks ass. Suffice to say that although I've never seen any other movies by Edgar Wright (I know, it's a crime that I have yet to watch "Hot Fuzz" or "Shaun of the Dead" and I suppose I could watch either movie when it shows up on TV, but I hate commercials. So, Netflix queue, here they come!), after watching "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" for, like, ten times, I can say, by the authority vested in me as someone who loves kick-ass movies, that Edgar Wright is officially the most awesome director...at least of the past six months.Because I love this movie so much, I'm not sure I can communicate anything coherently. So, in lieu of a brilliant, lucid, succinct review, and as a homage to Nick Hornby's novel "High Fidelity", I offer the following list: Ten Awesome Things about "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World"1. The soundtrack. The Pixies, low-fi bass rifts, Beck-inspired singles, and Beachwood Sparks and their cover of Sade's "By Your Side" are just some of the reasons that this soundtrack rocks every second of the movie.2. The Smashing Pumpkin t-shirts. Any movie that make any reference to the Smashing Pumpkins is cool in my book. (Sadly, though, not a single SP song is used in the film.)3. It takes place in Canada. Canada's cool.4. It is framed as a classic video game of the classic Nintendo variety. (Who doesn't remember playing Super Mario for all those coins?)5. The trivia about Pac Man is erudite yet funny.6. The soundtrack (Okay, it's so awesome it deserves two slots on this Top Ten list.)7. The script. It's clever, witty, snappy, hella funny, and so true to-yet removed from real life with some of the greatest, most awesome-est lines ever. Here's a taste and by no means is this an exhaustive list:* "Listen, I was thinking, we should break up...or whatever."* "We gotta get some buzz goin'. We need ground swell. We need stalkers."* "What? I'm not afraid to hit a girl. I'm a rock star."* "You punched the highlights out of her hair!"* "I was just a little bi-curious./Well, honey, I'm a little bi-furious!"* "I'm in Lesbians with you."* "Well if my cathedral of cutting edge taste holds no interest for your tragically Canadian sensibilities, then I shall be forced to grant you a swift exit from the premises...and a fast entrance into hell!"* "Dying's gotta suck./You know what's sucks? Getting killed by that guy."* "Young Neil, you have learned well. From this point forward, you will be known as: Neil.")8. The movie is faithful to the story's graphic novel origins. In fact, the complete 7-volume set is sitting in my Amazon.com wish list. (Hint, hint, nudge, nudge anyone for my birthday or just because!)9. Bleeping out the profanity. It helped me allow my kids to watch it and love it with me. (Not that that's ever stopped me before given that I agree with John Milton's argument in "Areopagitica" that cloistered virtue is no virtue at all.)10. Bass Battle. `Nuff said.This movie is so awesome that a Top Ten list cannot do it justice. So, here are Ten More Awesome Things about "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" that didn't quite make the list:1. The character, Comeau, played by Nelson Franklin: a douche bag who knows everyone but knows nothing. (Greatest line, when listening to a live performance of a band, "You should see them live, they're much better live.")2. Did I mention that the soundtrack rocks?3. My wife and kids love it as much as I do. (Well, maybe not as much as I do.)4. One of the shortest songs ever performed in a movie: "We hate you; please die."5. The pee-meter.6. One of the coolest band names ever with the coolest intros. ( "We are Sex Bob-omb and we're here to make you think about death and get sad and stuff.")7. Chris Evans (you know, The Human Torch from "Fantastic Four" and the next Captain America) as Lucas Lee, a caricature of the action hero with the commiserate caricature lines like "Kiss me, I'm dying," or "The only thing keeping me and her apart are the two minutes it's gonna take for me to kick your ass."8. Michael Cera doing choreographed martial arts proves that lanky geeks can fight!9. Bill Hader's over-the-top narration.10. Vegan Police. (You'll have to watch the movie to see what that's all about.)For these reasons, and so much more, I give "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" 10 out of 5 bass guitars.

I like anything with Michael Cera because whatever that character is that he plays all the time (the soft, shy, nice guy character) is so enjoyable and it never gets old for me. He's very good at it and always great to watch. I'll buy anything with him in it. I'm 45 years old, and I really shouldn't like this movie because it's so goofy. But I've watched it three times so far, and I'm sure that I'll see it again at some point. It's such a fun movie to just kick back and goof out to. The 4K disc isn't super sharp like it should be, but it's definitely good enough.

Great condition arrived fast

this movie is great, and its hard to find it on streaming services now that theyre the norm. bought the dvd knowing id like having a physical copy and its great! the behind the scenes information is so fun and really enjoyable to watch alone, the commentary from the cast are so cool. highly reccomend!

I've always thought this was a fun, if somewhat shallow movie. Well, that opinion hasn't changed over time. It goes for the video game / comic book aesthetic to honor its source material -- you're either going to like that or hate it. You know you.I'm posting to comment on the transition to 4K Blu-Ray instead.I'd say they've done a pretty good job for a niche title. When viewed on my LG CX Oled through my PS5, the blacks were crisp, the color was vibrant, and the whites were bright but not artificial. The Dolby Atmos soundtrack is excellent as well, though I would have preferred a bit more signal thrown to my rear channels.This release is definitely a step up from the standard Blu-Ray, and worth the extra money.

I love the movie so much and I’m so glad I got it on dvd now I can watch it whenever I want but my one problem with the product is my dvd didn’t come with the code inside fully sealed and everything it just didn’t come with the code like it said it would. Still very happy with the product

My favorite part about purchasing dvds or blurays is the special features or behind the scenes extras that come with it. To my surprise, this blu ray was absolutely JAM PACKED with loads of extras to enjoy and make you appreciate the film even more.

AMAZINGGGGGG

Soy fan del director Edgar Wright y cuando supe que Universal Studios había restaurado en formato 4K Ultra HD, el clásico de 2010 "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" ó "Scott Pilgrim vs. los Ex de la chica de sus Sueños", la compré de inmediato.Se ve espectacular, mejor que nunca, con una calidad de imagen fuera de serie.Llegó rápido y en perfectas condiciones, y la encontré en oferta por el Prime Day 2024!El único inconveniente es que ya no trae el Slipcover de colección.

Blu-ray importado de Scott Pilgrim. Não há legendas ou áudio em português.O elenco é até interessante, mas a história consegue decepcionar do começo ao fim e não prende o espectador.Não há nada aqui para destacar, exceto, talvez, a grande quantidade de extras no Blu-ray.O filme em si é realmente muito fraco. Talvez para assistir uma vez, nada mais.Péssimo.

Excelente calidad

I love this movie. Filmed in Toronto and proud of that fact. Full of A-listers in their pre-superhero days.
