Plot:

Scott Pilgrim must defeat his new girlfriend's seven evil exes in order to win her heart.

Review:

Scott Pilgrim VS The World, simply put, is about a guy in a band finding his true love. But his true love comes with seven obstacles that Scott must defeat before Ramona and Scott can truly be together and those obstacles so happen to be seven, evil, super powered, and angry exes. Mayhem, hilarity, and just about everything follow Scott in his adventure.

I was going into this movie with the intention to be entertained and stimulated in the most enjoyable way possible. After the credits rolled I realized that Scott Pilgrim did not disappoint. Edgar Wright did a wonderful job taking the graphic novel and creating a movie version that not only stayed true to the source but ramped it up and pushed the dial to ten.

The huge cast: Micheal Cera (Scott Pilgrim), Alison Pill (Kim Pine), Johnny Simmons (Young Neil), Ellen Wong (Knives Chau), Kieran Culkin (Wallace Wells), Anna Kendrick (Stacey Pilgrim), Aubrey Plaza (Julie Powers), Mary Elizabeth Winstead ( Ramona Flowers), Ben Lewis (Other Scott), Keita Saito and Shota Saito (Katayanagi Twins), Satya Bhabha (Matthew Patel), Chris Evans (Lucas Lee), Brie Larson (Envy Adams), Mae Whitman (Roxie Richter), Brandon Routh (Todd Ingram), Jason Swhartzman (Gideon Graves) were all amazing and played there parts of either friends of Scott or enemies pretty well.

The graphics were pretty much top notch and very comic book like. Which fits with the graphic novel. Some of the graphics and CGI were amazing like in the Katayanagi vs. Scott battle of the bands fight were an electric/sound wave gorilla fought a twin headed electric/sound wave dragon. To just the small little additions here and there made the movie richer in feel and overall enjoyment.

Final Thoughts:
Regardless of Scott Pilgrim being a “failure” due to not making money. And why would box office receipts determine a movie being good or bad? Everyone loved it. The whole theater going audience when I saw the movie enjoyed themselves and left happy. Edgar Wright and the cast did an awesome job and I truly loved this movie and can’t wait until it is released on DVD.
