Do you love video games? Do you read comics? Listen to indie/alternative music and find Michael Cera tolerable, then you're going to love this! The plot revolves around Scott Pilgrim, a 22 year old bass player who falls in love with a girl with a dark past that comes a'knocking soon after she responds to his courtship. The past consists of 7 evil exes that would like nothing more than to destroy Scott and pound him into dust, Scott must fight all of them in order to survive and "get the girl".
This movie isn't for everybody, it caters to a certain audience ("Kick Ass" lover and "Zombieland" fanatics who drink Redbull or Gatorade). It has a unique style that captures a video game/comic book style perfectly. Visually speaking, this movie is top notch, with many fine details to go around and an electric soundtrack to go with.
Michael Cera steps out of his comfortable shell and gives a slightly different performance as the lovable Scott Pilgrim. He is funny, quirky, but not as neurotic and he looks believable as he pommels through Ramona's beefed up exes. The supporting cast is solid and there are a couple of cameos and Pop culture references for the hardcore fans out there.
Overall, it's a fun, action packed comedy with solid visuals, great soundtrack (done by Beck), and it's made for an audience that most likely will wait for the DVD since they haven't been outside from the days that World of Warcraft came out, and that's a shame!
