I attended a viewing of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World on opening night and right away was saddened that the theater wasn't packed full. I hadn't yet seen whether it was any good or not, but in a Hollywood of the "same-old, same old", I was routing for a movie that has originality written all over it. I should also state that unlike most comic book inspired movies that I've walked into, I had no previous knowledge of anything Scott Pilgrim-related aside from the PSN game that I had just started playing days before. I'll get this out of the way right now too. I'm not a big Michael Cera fan, to the point where I'll avoid movies that he's in just because I'm sick of seeing that same character done over and over again. Despite this, I was still very excited to see Scott Pilgrim. For the first time in a long time, I felt that it was finally a role where Cera could play his usual character and it actually made sense. Inception is being applauded by Hollywood and fans alike because it successfully brought something new and fresh to the table. Scott Pilgrim is no different. Edgar Wright has certainly stepped up his game here. The direction, editing, and overall tone of the movie are absolutely perfect. The visual inspirations and sounds borrowed from video games make this a movie that any gamer should flock to. The relentless pace of the movie and quick (yet brilliant) transitions may feel rushed for some, but to me it felt like a story that hit the ground running and kept the action flowing. There are several times during the movie where the average skeptical viewer may question events as they play out. Why does everyone have all these powers and crazy fighting abilities? What's up with Ramona having snow melting roller skates and jumping through random doors? Why do people burst into coins? All of these questions are fair, but they apply to the real world. The world we see in Scott Pilgrim is one that none of us have seen before, and yet holds some familiar properties. The only way you'll really enjoy this movie is if you stop asking questions and just go with it. They're not creating plot holes by NOT answering these questions, they're simply not willing to slow down the pace to give us answers we don't need. The action is incredibly visceral and satisfying. I don't know if it was just my identification with the plight of Pilgrim, but I felt myself wanting to jump up out of my seat and get involved. Not since seeing the rage of the Hulk unleashed onscreen have I had such a similar reaction to on-screen combat. As far as the characters and performances go, there's a lot to be had here. Ramona Flowers (Winstead) could have been a little warmer, but I could see how damaged she is (sexy too, I'd certainly fight off seven evil exes for her). Knives was as annoying as expected. Unlike some, I at no point found myself rooting for her as she seemed far too young in comparison to everyone else. Anna Kendrick is adorably meddlesome as Scott's sister Stacey and is quickly becoming one of my biggest Hollywood crushes. As far as the evil exes go, Chris Evans and Brandon Routh were by far the stand-outs to me. In a completely unexpected yet pleasant surprise, Kieran Culkin steals just about every scene he's in as Scott's gay roommate Wallace. I came out of this movie a much bigger fan of his and look forward to seeing where his career is headed. And yes, I'll admit it. Michael Cera was great. Now leave me alone.

It is truly a shame that Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. the World didn’t do that well at the box office, because it promotes everything a geek could possibly love in one film: video games, action, comedy, and it’s based off of a graphic novel series, so it indirectly promotes a love of reading. Thankfully, the film, which was based on the graphic novel series by Bryan Lee O’Malley, has at least become a cult favorite, so its beauty was not lost on as many people as it potentially could have been. In case you are unfamiliar, the plot concerns Scott Pilgrim, played in the film by the oh-so-perfect-for-the-role Michael Cera, a geeky twenty-something who recently broke up with a girl who has gone on to be a successful rock star. He starts a relationship with high school student Knives Chau, much to the chagrin of his friends and fellow bandmates. Oh, by the way, he’s in a band that goes by the name of Sex Bob-Omb (a bob-omb being the animatronic bomb from the Mario Bros. videogames). But everything changes when Scott meets Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), a delivery girl for Amazon.com. He immediately falls head-over-heels in love with her, but in order to be with her, he must first defeat her seven evil exes, each one either equally or more interesting than the former. Pitch Perfect’s Anna Kendrick also appears in the film as Stacey Pilgrim, Scott’s sister, and there’s a special appearance by the band Metric, which is fronted by Envy Adams (Brie Larson), Scott’s ex for whom he obsessively pines - that is, until Knives and subsequently Ramona successfully distract his attention. Scott also lives with gay roommate Wallace, who adds his own special charm to both the movie and the books and is played by Kieran Culkin in the former. Edgar Wright’s movies are both comedy gold and filmmaking masterpieces. He knows just what to add and subtract from a frame and when, and his editing style moves his films along at a more exciting and consuming rate. He was the perfect director for this film, and truly, a better cast probably could not have been chosen. There are several subtle, number-related clues hidden throughout the film, and Wright’s use of typography (which we’ve also seen later on in the BBC’s Sherlock) is one of the oh-so-many innovative things I love about this film. Wright’s attention to the little things (like posting a “Pee Bar” that runs down as Scott drains his lizard, or having those that Scott defeats turn into gold coins [followed by Scott’s joke that it isn’t even enough money for a ride home]) make Wright’s films so much more enjoyable than most of the run-of-the-mill dreck we’ll see in our lifetimes. With films like Shaun of the Dead and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and television shows like Spaced, Wright has officially charmed his way into my wallet with every new project he puts out. Though, in all fairness, O’Malley definitely deserves much of the credit here as well, as the original material found in his graphic novel series is just as hysterical, just as clever, and just as viable for repeat entertainment as the film adaptation that would inevitably eventually follow.

This movie is fantastic. I am a fan of the books, and while I was afraid that Cera as Pilgrim would lead to a movie suckfest... this movie blew me away, and I saw it 5 times in theatres before being low enough on money to decide to wait for it to come to the cheap theatre (never did) and come out on DVD. As soon as it popped up on here, I pre-ordered it. It is stunning- not gimmicky, it is supposed to be flashy and crazy and fun, like a video game, and like all the little things in manga- come to life. It could totally thrive on its own, but it just wouldn't be Scott Pilgrim without the vibe- it makes fun of itself, and it has fun. Which means you have fun. It just doesn't fail. And the musiccc. I love the music. Amazing soundtrack... and movie versions of some of the soundtrack songs. Just. everything about this movie is perfect. Except, the ending- which is different from the books since the last book wasn't out when the book was filmed- made me sad. Which isn't a flaw, so much as personal preference. They really make Ramona kind of pathetic and not very likable. ): And I love her. But, that's okay. The movie was awesome. I'm so glad they made the books into a movie, and into this movie, because this movie is fantastic and the ONLY movie I've ever seen more than twice in theatres... and one of about... 3 movies that I've watched more than once in theatres. Scott Pilgrim, all the way. -love- :D Can't wait to get my Blu-ray combo pack tomorrowwww~~~ And, I'll edit this to include the awesome quality of it then. ;) Read more
