Graphic love

Rating: Null/10 (15 August 2010)

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is an amusing adaptation of the graphic novel series written by Bryan Lee O'Malley.
With Michael Cera, the perpetual adolescent who is now 22 years old, the film has a made –to-order protagonist challenged by dream vision Ramona Flowers, a roller queen with a serious number of exes. 7 to be exact, that Scott must vanquish in order to win her. The video-game, comic-book foundation of this ultra-contemporary analysis of modern young love shows up in the graphic motif almost everywhere: in cloud-formation love expressions and starry explosions of knuckle fighting as well as victims turning into coins.
Anna Kendrick as Scott's sister and Kieran Culkin as his gay roommate give Cera the acting support necessary to make the film more than a visual virtuosity because it is really about the combat for true love, a never-ending battle.
