So much fun to watch!

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 2010)

I saw Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World with my boyfriend tonight at an advance screening, and we entered with pretty average expectations. We didn't think it'd be awesome but we didn't expect a bad movie, either. And having never read the comics, all we knew about the film came from the trailer. Nevertheless we were blown away by how incredibly original the movie was from start to finish, and how genuinely funny it was. The story follows an unemployed 22 year old bassist called Scott, who falls for a mysterious girl named Ramona. To win her heart, he must defeat her seven evil exes. Along the way you meet Scott's bandmates and roommates (Kieran Culkin's character might've been my favorite, every single thing that man says is brilliantly funny) and of course Ramona's old flames (and the battles that ensue).
This is a great comedy not to be missed. The performances were all fantastic, and as for all of those who doubt Michael Cera's acting abilities, yeah he does his Michael Cera shtick as Scott Pilgrim but it's truly refreshing to see him kick some serious butt for a change.
There wasn't a dull moment. Judging from the audience's reactions throughout the movie, I wasn't the only one who felt this way. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World is constant entertainment in a way you haven't experienced it before. This is definitely worth watching, but I'd recommend it mainly to a younger crowd.
