Movie Review




Review: Scott Pilgrim vs The World
The Movie, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, is a movie that is based on Bryan Lee O'Malley's Oni Press comic book. This movie tells a story about 23-year old, Scott Pilgrim, needing to defeat his new girlfriend, Ramona Flowers, seven ex-boyfriends. Scott is a very emotional, rocker bass player for his band, Sex-Bob-omb, yet he's a slacker boy that shares a room/bed with his sisters male-homosexual friend. Each fight with Ramona's ex-boyfriends is intense and crazy, followed by some humor. Through the adventures of battleing, Scott forgets he has to deal with his former, psycho chinese ex-girlfriend, Knives Chau. Knives is obsessed with Scott and believes she can win him back by imitating the edgy appearance of Ramona.
This movie has wicked animations and quick-witty jokes that bring humor to the audience. The movie introduces the band in the begining and you can see animated thunder bolts ragings off the band members as they rock out. The animations make things more extreme yet unrealistic.This movie has similarties to video games, such as Super Smash Bros. The seven battles Scott encounters with is like seven different battles in a video game.

My interest in this movie grew more and more as i finished it. I slightly became obsessed with this movie for a week after watching it, it's now one of my favorties. I really enjoyed this movie because it gave me memories of when I used to play Super Smash Bros. I also wish life itself had cool sound and animation effects.
