Scott Pilgram stays true to its roots and allows for a home run by Cera and Wright

Rating: 9/10 (7 August 2010)

In an age of comic book blockbusters around every corner rarely do we get to experience the piece's film adaptation how the original visionary, the comic book write, saw it. Scott Pilgram vs. The World Changes that. It gives you the humor, excitement, visuals and rapid pacing commonly associated with comics during 2 of the most enjoyable hours you will spend in a theater this summer. The writer and director of two of the better comedies of the past decade, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, Edgar Wright takes on this interesting piece and does an incredible job. And casting Michael Cera was perfect. He may get a lot of hate for having the tendency to play the same role, but I believe that is because he is so talented he makes you feel like he truly is that character, a skill that is many times overlooked in comedies. At times it may fell lengthy, but that is due to the pacing of this movie. There is absolutely no down time. One scene blends directly into the next and so on. It is a very unique concept that many other comic book movies should consider in the future too. The only thing that is going to hold this movie back is the HORRIBLE advertising. If I hadn't won free tickets I can honestly say I would not have gone. Whoever is in charge of these advertisements should never be given another job.
