When the sun comes up, I'm down.

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off — 1.5/5

The first episode reads like late-stage live-action Disney: exactly the same, except twice as slow. Everything you love, only worse. It's a beat-for-beat remake that has lost every beat of musicality from the movie. But, at least, by the end of the first episode, it chooses to go somewhere different, and so it kept me curious enough to see what happens next, to see if it eventually catches its rhythm. It doesn't.
