SCOTT PILGRIM is kick ass!
Now I'm a dork and love movies like this AUTOMATICALLY! but I was in awe of how AWESOME this movie was. Never a boring minute, funny as hell, and GIRL FIGHTS! I love me some girl fights. All the action, not the cheesy guns needed and bloody gore! But the kind where the geek can fight, actually everyone can. It makes me wish for a world where the words Versus and KO! were normal, in a moments notice a screen passes you and the fight is on! Seven evil exes that you pulverize into coins! So here are the pluses of the movie....
(as if there were ANY minuses!)
First- the cast, I loved that everyone got equal screen time, even the secondary characters. And all but the twins (who couldn't even speak english) got enough show off time. Dry humor, LOL little side bars and notes. A few anime shots here and there, mixed with kick ass graphics, it felt like a vamped up version of street fighter and Mortal combat with Indie fighters. Rock and Roll and heavy bass controlled every sound, and NONE of the music was boring. In fact it played a huge role in the movie, with guitars being used as weapons and amps as blasters, SWEET! Rival bands being exes and fighters, which leads me to this little track. Sung by Metric (awesome band) on the soundtrack, I preferred the movie version of The Clash at Demonhead's Black Sheep. Go Brie Larson (child singer grown up) aka Envy aka Natalie.

3 of my fave characters aside from the main, Ramona and Scott did a GREAT job! Wallace, Scott's uber gay every mans man roommate, played by the adorable Keiran Culkin. And then Anna Kendrick as the hilarious here and there sister with the odd advice. And last but NOT least, KNIVES CHAU, played by newcomer Ellen Wong. The Jacob of the film, she is not only adorable and makes great screen time, but she kicks ass on two occasions! She is the friend I always wanted, never had, and must find (no it's not an asian thing) So let's see, funny as hell, great cast, AMAZING FIGHTING, and visuals, great concept, kick A music. Only one thing almost became a minus (if you think there are minuses see above parenthesis)
At the end of all the fighting and all the exes, we think he's done, but NOOOO he also has to face his Nega Scott alter ago. The dark version of himself. So it's like... ummm this is a bit much. And in a surprise funny ass twist we see him walk out of the building with his Evil Scott chatting it up like friends discussing breakfast tips. HILARITY! So save for the directors!
I would also like to give an honorable mention to Roxy Richtor for being the bad ass lesbian this film needed. not only did she kick ass, and have a beautiful fight scene with Ramona ( I love whips!) but she is ALSO the voice of my beloved Kitara from Avatar the last airbender series. Bless her for being sooo kick ass in every way (I really need to stop saying kick ass).
Well thanks for watching and GO SEE THE MOVIE!
