An Epic of Epic Epicness

Rating: 10/10 (6 December 2010)

This movie really is the movie of the century, and I knew it the second the movie started with the epic 8-bit universal studios logo.
So Scott Pilgrim, a bassist in a "terrible" band, literally meets the girl of his dreams and instantly gets with her. But in order to stay with her, he must defeat her seven evil exes, who are part of what could be the most diverse love life one person has ever had. That's the basic plot line of the story, but there's all these other factors that slowly fit into the spaces and tie together to become an amazing movie, such as the band's adventures, Scott's own love life, his homosexual roommate's love life, etc.
Now, I was intensely surprised to find out that some people didn't enjoy and even HATED the movie, which was beyond me, but I guess everyone's entitled to their opinion. But (note that I am in high school at the moment) every single person that wasn't absolutely in love with the movie were the petty jocks that only cared about their varsity spots in football and cross-country. Every single one of them (nothing against that, I'm in several sports myself). I would ask people if they had seen this amazing masterpiece and they would respond with "oh no, I heard it was dumb from my friend." Which wasn't cool.
But this isn't about the haters. This is about the movie.
So, some people will read this and say "oh you only like it because it has comics and video games and fight scenes and stuff. your just like every other high schooler out there" but that's obviously not it. The movie mixes comedic phrases in practically every other line. Seriously, every other line you hear in this movie can go down in the "Quotes" section. And on top of that, the intense songs in the movie are EXCELLENT. I love how they make the bass such an important part in every song. I could literally go on and on about this movie to the point (and it probably already has for some of you) where it would be annoying. It's just a great movie that has everything that anyone could ask out of an action-comedy. 10/10
