Scott Pilgrim must defeat
his new girlfriends seven evil exes in order to win her heart.
I just want to start of by
saying that i have not read the comic the movie is based on and i
have heard that some people who had read it didn't like some of the
changes they did in the movie. This means that my look on it is just
for the movie, not what it is in the eyes of the comic or anything
like that, but i will say that this is one of my favorite movie right
now.
Michael Cera(Juno,
Superbad) plays Scott Pilgrim and he plays the character great. I
remember there being some angry people because they didn't think
Michael Cera was a good fit for the role but he owns the role, even
the fighting parts. The rest of the cast is also great with actors
like Mary Elizabeth Winstead(The Thing, A good day to die hard),
Kieran Culkin(Home Alone, She's all that), Anna Kendrick(50/50, Pitch
Perfect) and Aubrey Plaza(Parks and Recreation) just to name a few.
This is also another movie where they/we were lucky with the
director. Edgar Wright(Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End)
brings his fantastic vision and beautiful weirdness to this movie in
a great way. He makes the real-life elements combine with comic book
effects look fantastic. There are also a lot of gaming-humor and some
great references.
The story plays out in
Canada where we follow Scott Pilgrim, bass player of the garage-band
Sex Bob-omb. He falls in love with a girl, Ramona, and have to fight
her seven evil exes. I love this story. It's weird but in a great way
and it's told in a way that brings me into the world of Scott
Pilgrim. The fights are great and every fight feels different, the
effects are used to great effect(what?) and the characters are solid.
TL;DR
A fantastic movie. One of
my all time favorites. Michael Cera owns the role as Scott Pilgrim.
Great cast all round. Gamer humor. Fantastic blend of real people and
comic book effects.
My question for you:
Do you like the way they
made this comic book movie?
Have you read the
comic?What do you think of the changes they made?
