First things first, it was Not a cut and paste of the books.
It was as funny, as innovative, as lovable, as heartfelt, and as humble as the books.
My favorite part of the books though, was that they were just really fun. I felt a smile on my face while I read it.
The movie version doesn't lose that.
Some characters are far gayer (weird, I expected to see a red line under that word), and some characters are far less.
Some lost face time and others gained, but I can't think of a single Book-to-Movie edit that was a bad call. (considering they had to cut about 75% of all character development/back stories)
It feels inappropriate to use the same old words and phrases to praise a movie that was slathered with completely new things I've never seen in a movie or script. I owe Edgar Wright and Brian Lee O'Malley an attempt though...
-Any one scene from this movie could be viral on YouTube on its own.
-My 'Love the Movie' to 'Hate the Wait til DVD' Ratio is equal at ' : '
-If there'd been a 15 ft tall facebook "Like" button at the end of the movie, I would've thrown my full weight against it.
-There were parts were I wanted to ignore the movie just to have something new to watch when I see it again in a few days.
-I'm dude-pregnant with the movie's baby.
This movie easily makes my Top 10.
If you haven't read the books, you'll only understand about 98% of the plot and 96% of the jokes.
I'll save a spolier-laden critique of the movie for at least a week or two after the movie.
What's important now is that you understand how hard this movie does all the undefinable things it does.
Rating: Awesome

Format:Blu-ray
This movie LOOKED bad: the trailers made it look like a movie made of purely nerdy but stupid jokes leaving no room for other people to be interested while insulting nerds' intelligence.
So, is this movie loaded with obscure references to video games, anime, rock bands, and comic books? Well, yeah. But even without that the movie is loaded with witty dialogue, a clever story, a fantastic cast, and great action.
For fans of the graphic novels: is it better? No. Is it totally faithful to the original story? No. But is it a solid telling that translates well to the big screen? Hell yeah.
Also, the music is phenomenal.
Is my review biased? Yeah - this movie was crafted for my demographic. I feel absolutely catered to by this film.

Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
EDIT: As of 9-19-2011, the reference to a Digital Copy has been removed. Thanks for your support. The review has been left intact for "archival purposes."
It's not in the title anymore, but the product description still indicates (NLA as of 9-19-2011) that the package comes with a digital copy.
Nope. Not anymore.
Still, you get a Blu-ray and a DVD for a good price...and a useless string of digits that was supposed to get you the digital copy promised on the cardboard sleeve.
Email Universal and anyone else who pulls a stunt like this and let them know it's bogus.
EDIT: A couple more notes about the Blu-ray presentation, since I finally got around to watching it.
The disc is FULL of special features, from behind the scene looks (45+ minutes of the daily blog journal that Edgar Wright kept) to deleted scenes to an astoundingly large photo gallery (broken down by category) to one of my favorites, the TV-friendly excerpt edit, in which even the mildest swear words are replaced with innocuous substitutes.
But the disc is also FULL of commercial trailers and the like. I had to go through at least four to get to the main menu, and then the menu itself had promotional crap attached to it. This business of studios considering disc buyers a captive audience and contaminating the experience with unrelated promotional crap is getting out of hand.

A wonderful film
This film is a homage to such classic tales as Hercules while also forging into new territory all it's own. Destined to become a classic that should go beyond "cult"status. Read more
