Michael Cera Sucks

Michael Cera Sucks 

"Well at least that’s the going opinion of him. Nobody likes this kid or they’re sick of his one-note performances. The whole stuttering, dorky, unsure of himself ironic thing is getting really, really thin and Cera won’t stop it. He’s gone from the adorable nerd kid in Arrested Development to that frustrating asshole you want to punch. It’s not just that people don’t want to see Michael Cera in movies, they actively hate his guts. 

With a backlash already brewing against Cera to have him not only star in the film but also play Scott Pilgrim exactly the same way he plays everything sank this movie from the start. Director Edgar Wright should have done everything he could to steer Cera away from that type of performance or hire somebody else entirely. The way he was allowed to play the character the film should’ve been called Michael Cera’s One Note Performance Vs The World. People hate this kid and that doesn’t bode well for successful box office."

Personally, i love Cera's performance in Scott Pilgrim, I do agree that he does play the same character in every film, but the character just suits Scott Pilgrim. However, the majority of the mainstream audience has gotten tired of the awkward character and it just seems a little too predictable now.
There is an active hate against Cera though, and by casting him as lead role instantly put off half of the movie fans who had even heard of the film. People knew what to expect with this film, an awkward, young adult misfit  who's going to whine about his mediocre problems.
