Atari and Pop Rocks!

Rating: Null/10 (12 September 2011)

From the moment the Universal Studios Theme plays out Atari Style, you know you're in for a wild ride! Scott Pilgrim v/s The World is a comic book adaption unlike any other, featuring Michael Cera as the unassuming protagonist, the film takes a fresh look at baggage and the current dating scene.
Scott Pilgrim (Cera) plays a 22 year old who feels like it's quite an achievement to date a 17-year-old Girl.
That's when he encounters Ramona Flowers (a cold and smoldering Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and his world turns into one helluva roller-coaster. All her evil Ex-es want a piece of him giving room for the most entertaining fight sequences of all time.
Scott battles his own past, her past, his issues, her issues, his room-mates issues and so much more, all while delivering killer riffs on his bass guitar.
With furious editing and fantastic special effects, Cera and Winstead transport us through a thoroughly entertaining relationship, ably supported by the other characters that walk on and off throughout the movie most notably Kieran Culkin.
The writing is spot on and the only disappointment is the climax which seems a tad stretched out, but that's only because the rest of the flick passes by at breakneck speed drawing you in at all times.
A special nod to Chris Evans who plays his cameo to perfection as do all the other evil entities! If you like Michael Cera, Comics or Videogames or if you just want to have a fun time, go watch.
