Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

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.
