"That movie is great," Smith told The Film Stage. "It's spellbinding and nobody is going to understand what the [frick] just hit them. I would be hard-pressed to say, 'he's bringing a comic book to life!' but he is bringing a comic book to life."
The director went on to praise the film's cast and in particular Scott Pilgrim himself, "Michael Cera is really great. He's also doing something that's different from what most people know him as in terms of the character. He's a little more self assured and Bugs Bunny-like than George Michael from 'Arrested Development'."
It wasnt just the actors' work that Smith enjoyed. He also revealed that he's a big fan of the films director Edgar Wright, "I think Edgar is just kind of leaps ahead of the rest of us. He's the goods and if someone said, 'you gotta pick one guy and you'd have to watch only his movies for the rest of your life,' I'd pick Edgar. He's done no wrong, as far as I'm concerned."
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World is now set for an August 13th release world wide.
