Okay, so last night I saw Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (before all you guys did). I have several thoughts on this matter.
The style was something that really caught my attention. The best way I can describe it is comic-book style filmography. Maybe it's because of the technology used it's either the first of it's kind, or the first to target that rare, mid-20s Gamers/Musicians/Canadians/Fans of Canada/Big Kids/Artists demographic. I happen to own a nice lot right in the middle of this demographic, myself. And seeing a movie that seems to be just made for you is an excellent feeling.
Now then, as for the contents of the movie (no synopsis, watch the film for yourselves). I was delighted to find a myriad of references to some of my most favorite things. For instance, the video game aspects (there were a lot of these). Music from The Legend of Zelda was used (and vocalized) in a few scenes. Also let it be known that I want to wear every shirt I saw in this movie. This leads me to the next great positive of this movie, the aspects of it that seemed to be torn from the comic book pages of its origins. Ah, the joys of being literate. The parts including Scott's band were excellent. Being an awful musician (although currently without a band) myself, I can completely relate to the characters as they were presented in the film. That said, if you go into this movie expecting a copy of the comic book, you're a tard and deserve any kind of stupid let down you set yourself up for, fool. But seriously, this movie is really effing good. Now, I won't say that if you don't see it, I'll stop talking to you, but I will probably hold a secret deep-seated loathing in my heart against you until the day I die. Just sayin'.
I can only really say that I fervently enjoyed this film, it's style was both cutting-edge and original, And yet it still was so relatable to this reviewer on such a personal level that it was beautiful.
