Review of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) by Carole S — 20 Mar 2015

Okay, okay. I admit it. I remember skimming through the comic and not really caring about it. However, years later Boyfriend introduced me to the video game and I fell in love with the game AND the story. I just recently watched the movie though. It took a while, because I was not sure if it would live up to the game (because I remember not caring much for the comic), but I finally got myself to do it.

It was better then I thought it was going to be.

I was not a huge fan of the guy playing Scott. He did okay, he totally had the awkward down, but meh. I kept waiting for Juno to pop up and kick his ass. He can only play ONE type of character: the awkward geek who can barely talk. Yes, Scott is totally a nerd and geeky, but not Cera geeky. I wish the guy who played Lucas or Young Neil was Scott. That would have been way better (plus they are hotter ;]).

I also wasn't a fan of the girl who played Ramona...am I being too picky? Meh.

The rest of the cast was PERFECT! I especially loved Knives (I always play her in the game...while Boyfriend always plays Ramona - it's kind of funny because they both like Scott). WHICH why is everyone in love or had been in love with Scott? Especially since he has little social skills and the actor is dumpy and nerdy? *shakes my head*.

ANYWAYS.

The fight scenes were good; a touch cheesy, but good still. It was a nice reference to the game/comic. Loved it!! I especially loved the last scene with the last evil boyfriend: amazing. I was bummed how the "fight" between Scott and evil Scott went. LAME! Super lame. *slams head on counter*.

Overall, it was okay. I liked it more then I thought I was going to! I actually want to give the comics a second chance. Since I adore the game and the movie was okay, perhaps I'll like the comics. Older mind, perhaps? I totally recommend this those that need a romance with some fight scenes and comedy. If you haven't read the comics or played the game, I still recommend giving it a go. It's a nice film to watch when you have nothing better to do with life. Out of five stars, I stamp this with 3 stars.

Favorite Character(s): Knives, Scott's sister (haha), Kim, Young Neil, & Lucas.

Not-so Favorite Character(s): Envy.

Re-watch?: Sure. :) It was fun.
