Scott Pilgrim K.O's anything you knew about action movies.

Rating: 8/10 (17 January 2012)

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World the movie is a smash hit action movie that steps away from the norm when it comes to presentation, sound, and delivery. This movie has it all and then some when it comes to the zaniness of the story, over-the-top action scenes, and laugh-out-loud craziness that is hard not to love. This is not a movie to sleep on. Not only does it provide a good sense of itself, it will keep you glued to the screen, cheering until the end.
PRESENTATION: This movie is art. It is presented like a live action comic book, this really helps bring the scenes of the movie alive and it's a lot of fun to watch. Unlike other action movies Scott Pilgrim doesn't force explosions in your face or focus on sexy female actors to draw in attention. Scott Pilgrim has its own style of delivery, making it seem like a video game come to life by presenting to us things we know and love about video games. The soundtrack is also top-notch and it really adds to the flare that makes Scott Pilgrim so good.
PLOT: This isn't your grandfather's story. Scott Pilgrim doesn't take itself seriously and a lot of it's content is meant for fun, not a deeply engaging story that we'd tell our kids. Plot fiends should stay away, while those who are in for the action will have a blast. The characters have enough personality to bring you back for more.
EXECUTION: This is best part of the package. This movie will make you want to pick up your favorite video game and have a ball. This movie has no boring way to transition the story, so it feels fresh and new.
LASTING REMARKS: This movie is an action movie giant. There's also plenty of fan service for those who read the comics and if you haven't you'll have fun anyway. This is art, an absolute must see.
