Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
I ended my Sunday night by watching Scott pilgrim vs. the world, and i have to say it was a good movie.. it was different and i will admit i didn't want to see it at all i went with my boyfriend, and i didn't hate it at all like i said it was different but it was entertaining.. funny and creative. Here's a movie review. go see for yourself.
After spending what seems like hours trying to come up with a clever way to sell “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World,” there’s really only one way to do it — GO SEE THIS MOVIE!
It’s rare in today’s cinema that a movie exceeds expectations, but as I left theatre Friday night I could help but be a giddy over director Edgar Wright’s (Shaun of the Dead) latest creation.
“Scott Pilgrim” is the story of a slacker in his 20s watching life pass him by. Scott is played masterfully by Michael Cera (Arrested Development, Superbad). Scott is dating a high schooler, plays in a floundering rock band and lives with a super-cool gay roommate played by Kieran Culkin (Igby Goes Down).
Scott soon meets the girls of his dreams, Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Live Free or Die Hard). Dating Ramona, however, comes with a price. In order to win — and keep — her affection, Scott must defeat her seven evil ex’s.
I first saw the trailer late last spring, and was hooked by the video game references and comic book-inspired visuals. As the trailers, exclusive clips and featurettes rolled in, my excitement for the movie only grew. But as any movie goer knows, heightened expectations almost always end in disappointment (see, The Hangover).
I’m ecstatic to say that “Scott Pilgrim” was a once-a-year movie that sticks with you days after seeing it. Loaded with subtle humor and nearly flawless comedic timing, I still smile while recalling certain scenes. Wright brings such a unique and original take to a familiar formula that I felt like I was watching something I had never seen before.
This movie is a film that deserves the public’s attention. No, it’s not “Inception” or “Toy Story 3″ but it’s a summer action flick with substance. A movie that makes you feel good inside, and reminds you why we go to the movies in the first place.
So do yourself a favor — GO SEE THIS MOVIE!
