pure fun served in new ways

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 2010)

i had a lot of fun watching this movie, so i'm giving 10/10 without any hesitation. it is a very "today" movie - very flashy and very pop - and if you wanna let go any back thoughts and simply enjoy it, very much live you'd enjoy some new music band even if someone says it plays along many clichés, but you like it despite that. to me, of course, "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" was very innovative. the comics-like format, the funny lines, the likable characters...everything built up am experience that true cinema should provide. we live in times when it is very hard, if not impossible, to create something truly new. so you often find yourself building on what essentially is a stack of clichés. but as in chess a new superb game can be played following a known pattern, in any art, you can still be innovative and creative and productive. "Scott Pilgrim..." achieves this. it somehow reminded me of "Whatever Happened to Harold Smith?" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0194530/) which was also fun, and also with and original format. "Kick-Ass" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1250777/) is also close in presentation and an attempt for novelty. hope for more of these...of course too many would soon create a line of clichés, which we would have to escape by looking for another art, and maybe then you'd look back at these movies and label them pointless clichés, but here and now...the search for love continues :)
