Scott Pilgrim
I'm not a movie critic. Critics seem to spend all their time telling you why a movie sucks. I'm a movie fan. I like sharing when I find good movies. Its actually hard for me to find the motivation to talk about bad movies. When a movie like Scott Pilgrim vs the World comes along however all I want to do is talk about it.
I could say that the movie is about how anything worth having is worth fighting for. Or that its a wake up call for a slacker generation. Or that each relationship we enter into becomes our future baggage. That true changes can only happen when we make them for ourselves. Any or all of the above would be true the amazing thing is that SPvtW gets all this said while still being a fun movie.
Michael Cera -Juno, Arrested Development) falls in Love with Ramona (Mary Elizabeth Winstead Live Free or Die Hard), only problem is she's way out of his league, he hasn't broken up with his rebound girlfriend Knives (Ellen Wong) Or gotten over being dump by his rising star of an ex Envy (Brie Larson). I haven't even gotten to Roamona's seven evil exes, who have formed a league to battle Scott to the death. Scott's gossiping gay roommate, domineering younger sister, and band-mates that have all helped him avoid the realities of life yet are also there to help him confront them.
The amazing blend of multiple genres are what most impressed me though. Its not a comic book, video game, fight, love, or coming of age movie though it relies heavily on elements from all of them. In short it just an awesome movie which you *will* want to see at the theater (what are you waiting for the midnight showing is starting now.)
