A Film Worthy of a Game Console

Rating: 9/10 (27 March 2011)

Scott Pilgrim vs the World is by far one of the most enjoyable films of the year, if not ever. A truly unique experience with both gaming and comic book reference to treat the audience in all of their favorite games growing up.
It takes a little bit to pick up, but with each progressive evil ex, the movie really shines with each baddie bursting into coins, KOs on the screen, and point values appearing, it is a fun ride of 8-bit proportions. We've been waiting a long to time for them to get a video game movie right and Edgar Wright was the perfect director to deliver the goods.
Michael Cera, though in his usual character, fits perfectly in this role as Scott Pilgrim as we've never seen him take on the martial arts in such a fun fashion.
From Street Fighter to Zelda, this movie contains all of our favorite video game references growing up as children and will please all of those familiar with them.
Each ex adds a level of difficulty and never bores as each fight is different, from weapons to music to multiple battles, this movie has it all. Be sure to give this move a look if you love such a genre as this. You will not be disappointed. You'll want to bring your own control.
