Turned into a fantasy

Rating: 2/10 (10 May 2011)

I was not expecting this movie to turn into a fantasy type movie, but that's what it did. I thought it was a comedy like Michael Cera's other movies since he yet again plays the same character. But at least he's good at it. I didn't like how the movie started off like it was supposed to be about real things that could happen, then it turns into a video game as Cera, aka Scott Pilgrim, has to defeat his new girlfriend's (Romona) 7 evil ex's in video game style. They even explode into coins after being defeated. It just made the whole thing silly. I really liked the movie before it started getting silly. Scott's high school girl, Knives, was a cool character and even turns ninja at the end. But it was better when she acted all stalker-esk.
FINAL VERDICT: I didn't like this movie. I also don't play video games so that could have something to do with it. Also, I think this movie's target audience is teenage boys, so I don't recommend it unless you fall into that category.
