5.0 out of 5 stars A Completely Fresh Type of Movie, August 13, 2010

By 

Hyperwant - See all my reviews

First things first, it was Not a cut and paste of the books.
It was as funny, as innovative, as lovable, as heartfelt, and as humble as the books.
My favorite part of the books though, was that they were just really fun. I felt a smile on my face while I read it.
The movie version doesn't lose that.

Some characters are far gayer (weird, I expected to see a red line under that word), and some characters are far less.
Some lost face time and others gained, but I can't think of a single Book-to-Movie edit that was a bad call. (considering they had to cut about 75% of all character development/back stories)

It feels inappropriate to use the same old words and phrases to praise a movie that was slathered with completely new things I've never seen in a movie or script. I owe Edgar Wright and Brian Lee O'Malley an attempt though...

-Any one scene from this movie could be viral on YouTube on its own.
-My 'Love the Movie' to 'Hate the Wait til DVD' Ratio is equal at ' : '
-If there'd been a 15 ft tall facebook "Like" button at the end of the movie, I would've thrown my full weight against it.
-There were parts were I wanted to ignore the movie just to have something new to watch when I see it again in a few days.
-I'm dude-pregnant with the movie's baby.

This movie easily makes my Top 10.
If you haven't read the books, you'll only understand about 98% of the plot and 96% of the jokes.
I'll save a spolier-laden critique of the movie for at least a week or two after the movie.
What's important now is that you understand how hard this movie does all the undefinable things it does.

5.0 out of 5 stars K.O.!!!!!!!!, October 1, 2010

This review is from: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo) (Blu-ray)

The weekend of August 13, 2010, saw three major studio releases for each target audience: The Expendables [Blu-ray] for males, Eat Pray Love [Blu-ray] for females, and "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" for kids, teens and young adults. Being a recent fan of the Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Boxset series of graphic novels by Bryan Lee O'Malley, I was looking forward to the film adaptation - especially after hearing of the casting (most notably, Michael Cera) and the director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead [Blu-ray], Hot Fuzz (Ultimate Edition) [Blu-ray]). I'm not the biggest fan of Wright's work; while I thought they were slightly funny films, I don't fall into the large masses who say they're the most hilarious contemporary films. Still, I like Wright's filmmaking style and I knew he'd do a great job with the material.

There are quite a few people who believe Michael Cera acts the same in every movie and TV show he is in. And, depending on the actor, that can either be OK or extremely annoying. Cera does generally have the same acting methods, but, to me, it works for him. He has mastered the act of shy-but-hilarious, slightly neurotic geek, and I never tire of - or fail to laugh at - any role he portrays. And I'm a firm believer in that saying: if it ain't broke, don't fix it! The bottom line is: if you despise Cera then don't see this film as you'll probably only be rolling your eyes through most of it since it's his movie, and this film deserves more than that.

I know people may laugh at the thought of a bestselling memoir geared towards women ("Eat Pray Love") being compared to a bestselling graphic novel geared towards male adolescents. But, trust me, their meanings are similar. As I stated in my review for "Eat Pray Love," it's a story about a writer taking a quest in Italy, India and Bali to forget her problems, start anew, and experience flavor and deep contemplation only to realize that you can't run from who you are; you have to be comfortable with who you are and make peace with what's happened in your life ... the good and the bad ... whether it was your doing or someone else's. It's no big surprise spoiler that Julia Roberts' Gilbert finds love and self-respect for herself and, at the same time, makes peace with the hurtful choices she's made. Now onto Cera's Scott Pilgrim. Although it's more prevalent in the books, the viewer can also tell in the film that Pilgrim is not only a slacker financially, but also in self-respect and accountability. He's made bad, selfish choices in love and he takes the universal young generation response whenever it comes to any sort of confrontation: "whatever." Nevertheless, I found his character much more likeable than Roberts' Gilbert.

The film, "Scott Pilgrim" is told in a visual way that has the style format of a video game and comic book with the main character - finding himself having to fight - oops! - I mean, defeat the seven evil ex-boyfriends of his newest love interest, Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). It's all metaphor for the baggage we carry when dating someone. Not only does one deal with the issues of our significant other's romantic past (how it affects them emotionally), but you also deal with your own insecurities and vulnerability when entering into a relationship and - unless your beloved has lived in a cave and had no prior romantic relationships - how your spouse's past suitors measure up to you. It's a silly, self-destructive game we play in our love lives, but everyone does it ... especially more frequently when we're younger.

SPOILER ALERT!
It's only when Pilgrim confronts his unresolved issues and finds self-respect that he truly wins "the game." And the girl. We see the transformation of a somewhat judgmental guy turn into a man who can love someone for who they truly are, including their flaws.
SPOILER ENDS!

As I said, the film, like its literary original, utilizes the comic panel sound effects of BAM, WHOOSH, etc., and cool, quirky characters, as well as the video game staples of coin dispersal after defeating an opponent, earning an extra life and special weapons, the countdown to continue a game, and the versus fight mode including fight combos and booming voice-over narration of "K.O.!" It's a unique, fresh style that I'm surprised hasn't been attempted before. Don't mistake me for some diehard gamer; even though I owned an original Xbox, I haven't been heavily involved with video games since the original Nintendo. Regardless, I loved the style Wright brought to the screen thanks to creator O'Malley. Second to Robert Rodriguez's film adaptation of Frank Miller's Frank Miller's Complete Sin City Library (Sin City (Two-Disc Theatrical & Recut, Extended, and Unrated Versions) [Blu-ray]), this is the closest the viewer will get to a comic book come to life! And while that sounds spectacular to some; there will be others that find the movie just plain weird. It is weird. But it's a weird that's kind of great. It has wonderful meaning and great depth underneath the generation-X trappings of vegans, garage bands, cheat codes, straight edge, and "whatever."

I was surprised to love the book as much I do because it's made up of what I mostly dislike with comics: it resembles a manga (I despise those!), it's black-and-white, and the art is more cartoonish rather than realistic (although, it does grow on you). Since I do love it, though, it's no surprise I enjoyed the film. It was wonderful seeing all the dialogue and one-liners from the books actually being said out loud, facial expressions and all. Cera, Winstead, and Kieran Culkin stand out in the film, while the evil exes each do good at providing humor while simultaneously presenting to Scott with a different issue or concern regarding his blossoming relationship with Ramona; but Scott's not the only one who has to confront issues, Ramona also finds herself having to face Scott's baggage. The soundtrack and score are impressive and I like them but I can see how it's not as appealable to a wide audience as the (500) Days Of Summer-Music From The Motion Picture (the best track on Pilgrim's soundtrack is Metric's "Black Sheep," which is used as a song sung by The Clash at Demonhead). The songs all work splendidly in the film - i.e., when Ramona drives off with evil ex Gideon, the Rolling Stones' "Under My Thumb" is appropriately being played on the car stereo (check out the lyrics to know just how appropriate it is). Lastly, for a story that took six books to tell, it's expected that not everything from those books will be included in the film. In most films adapted from books, it seems most screenwriters leave out the best parts and add in the most lame. Don't fret, though. Screenwriters Wright and Michael Bacall kept in all of the cool lines and important scenes central to the story of Scott and Ramona; some lines are mixed with different scenes compared to the books, but it all still works out really well and, overall, stays true to the books (i.e., in the books, Ramona fights Scott's ex, Envy, but in the film, Ramona fights one of her evil exes, Roxy). Some funny parts fall flat but it's few and far between.

"Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" is a fun, weird, fresh, innovative movie that's destined for cult status. Take that as you want, but, to this critic, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great movie, September 28, 2010

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (DVD)

Of course the dvd isn't out yet so i cant say anything useful in that area and i've never read the comic either BUT.... This movie is absolutly amazing! A visual masterpiece. Its like watching both a comic book and a video game at the same time all wrapped up in a neat little romantic comedy. Its really sad when a great movie like this is over looked and so many other less deserving movies make money. if you have ever played a video game and read a comic book this is the movie you have been waiting for.
