So I figured that since I'm going to be tearing movies apart on this blog, I would start out on a positive note with a movie I thought was surprisingly original. The movie has a video game feel to it and the fighting is about as realistic as the 90's video games it portrays. Initially one would assume it would get old after 2 hours but they kept adding new comic book elements throughout to keep us engaged. The action was so over the top that I could enjoy it because it was meant to be that way. Besides the action, the movie was entertaining the entire time and mixed love and violence with a heavy dose of comedy. If you like Michael Cera's brand of humor then you will thoroughly enjoy this comic book style film. The surrounding cast is pretty good as well, giving a shout out to Wallace Wells because he is quite arguably one of the most likable gay characters I've seen. I would recommend this movie to just about anyone under the age of 40. After that I'm not sure if some of the jokes would land home.
Overall rating: 8.5
The reason it is not a 10:
Scott Pilgrim instantly likes Ramona even though she's kind of a B word to him. Their relationship heats up as fast as when the Situation takes a girl home from a club. Also, movie was a little jumpy at times, but no big deal.
