Re-watched it after re-reading the comics (the first time, I hadn't read them, so naturally I was a bit more lost) - if you stop and pause, it's insane that this is a movie that exists and had $85 million spent on it. There are so many aspects where I was genuinely astonished that they'd actually put it on film, and it holds together surprisingly well considering that they're adapting over a thousand pages of graphic novel into a two-hour movie - I don't think this movie could have had a better suited director than Edgar Wright.
I was blown away by just how well they'd translated the comic's architecture and visuals into a live-action film, and with every passing year the cast assembled just becomes more incredible (although it's funny that Michael Cera looks too young to be a convincing "older boyfriend to a high school girl"). For the most part, a total mess, but probably a defining film for Generation Z and the tail-end of the millennials.
