Scott Pilgrim vs. the World... is EPIC!

For once I do not have a quote to share :(

The caption of the theatrical poster is "An epic of epic epicness" (try saying that three times fast). That is EXACTLY what Scott Pilgrim is - epic.

Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera). 23. Normal. Plays Bass in a Band...Has no luck with girls...but is suddenly dating a high school girl (can you say pedo? lol) His life suddenly gets a little hard to keep track of when he meets the mysterious Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). In order to officially start dating her he has to defeat her seven evil Exes. Not so easy when you're trying to juggle life, a band, a Chinese girlfriend, your gay gossiping roommate, sister, friends, not to mention your reputation (if any).

One thing this film is definately not lacking is the amount of colour. You can tell the set designers, light designers and even costume designers spent a lot of time translating the comic into a film that was bright and fun. If you've read the graphic novels, you'll know that the fight scenes mimic those of classic fighting video games like Street Fighter or Tekken. The film was well directed and did stay true to that interesting twist on one on one battles.

As a Canadian and fellow Torontonian I was very happy (almost extatic) to see Honest Ed's in a couple of the scenes in the film. Other tourist attractions can be seen if you look closely. The plot is simple and easy to follow if you've never read the books. And I can honestly say there is never a dull moment. Either when it comes to the simple comedic tones of the actors voices when speaking, the script, the lame jokes that just happened to be funny, and the epic fight scenes, Scott Pilgrim definitely delivers.

Rating - <3<3<3<3<3<3 (6 Hearts out of 5...because it's just epic)
