Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World (2010)

Last night I decided to go see this just on a whim. I even went to the shitty theater right down the street because I wasn’t expecting much from the film. I’ve never been a huge fan of Michael Cera, he always seems to play the same character, and it’s a character I’ve ever liked all that much.

So with that being said let me say this: Holy crap! I could not have been more surprised by this movie! Easily the best Cera film I’ve seen, not only that but one of the best films I’ve seen all year. The cast was simply amazing and Cera absolutely stole the lead.

The plot really made this film unique, we’ve all seen those love movies where a man "fights for his lover" but this movie took that to a whole other level. Scott Pilgrim is forced to fight 7 Evil Exes to gain the right to date the girl of his dreams. I know that’s nothing that a trailer hadn’t told you already but I just need to push the fact that it is a truly unique and extremely entertaining film. I went in with below average expectations just trying to get out for the night and came home with a new addition to my Blu Ray collection. The on screen noises (like you see in a comic strip) really added to this movie too, if you think that they may get cheesy I was on the same boat, but I have to give it to the film makers they worked in the "noises" perfectly.

I don't want to reveal too many plot points and possibly turn anybody away from seeing this movie so I'm going to end this right here. I have to recommend this film to anybody reading this review, if you like movies, go give Scott Pilgrim vs. the World a shot and let me know what you think!
