Scott Pilgrim vs The World

Yes, half of the movie title is red but what can I do! :) The movie is quite entertaining!!

Anyway, tonight I bring you a mini review of a fun movie that came out last year. Scott Pilgrim vs The World is a movie done pretty much in a nintendo core style, meaning some elements in fight resemble to it. This is yet again another comic book adaption, however, this time is gives it justice.


plot:
"Scott Pilgrim plays in a band which aspires to success. He dates Knives Chau, a high-school girl five years younger, and he hasn't recovered from being dumped by his former girlfriend, now a success with her own band. When Scott falls for Ramona Flowers, he has trouble breaking up with Knives and tries to romance Ramona. As if juggling two women wasn't enough, Ramona comes with baggage: seven ex-lovers, with each of whom Scott must do battle to the death in order to win Ramona."


There are so many good sides to this movie. The music is exceptional! There are even some bands as Metric, LCD Soundsystem.. All of the music is pretty much alternative rock. The casting crew is okay, Michael Cera is in the lead role. I'm not much of a fan of him but I have to admit his movies were quite decent and usually entertaining. It is directed by Edgar Wright and this is the first movie I have seen of him, previously he had made Hot Fuzz, Shawn Of The Dead and a few more. Only thing is the plot and execution could have been a bit better!


Overall, the movie has great visuals, great music, it's funny and MOST important, it is inventive
I give it a 8/10! Now go watch it! :)

    Doo, I really enjoyed this movie too. Edgar Wright is an inventive and stylistically intense filmmaker. It was one of my top ten movies of last year. If you don't believe me, check out my list.

    I haven't seen it yet. I hope it's not too forced humor. I have a feeling I'm going to be facepalming a few times when I watch it like "omg, I can't believe they said that..." But I DO love anamanaguchi. Good good chiptune goodness

    I loved this cute little guy in Juno so much that I would watch this just for him. I love the eclecticism of your choices Doo.

    I never saw this movie, Michael cera is an annoying actor for me, he always plays that same dorky role.

    Haven't seen it yet since I am a few generations removed from the target audience. However, I really dug Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.

    I've never read the comic, but I had almost forgotten that I wanted to see this a while back. So, um, thanks for unintentionally reminding me?
