Just Watched: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
A few hours back, as Hitesh and I were wondering what to watch, I mentioned having the film with me, and he jumped at the thought of watching it. Little was I to know that I was going to stay up for a joyride of sorts.
Adapted from the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels, this film is incredible fun to watch. There’s no point going into the plot as that would be quite futile. It is as if a comic book was made to come to life, so to speak. Michael Cera in the titular role is fantastic and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as the mysterious Ramona Flowers is wonderful. The chemistry between the two is surprisingly good. Watch out for Chris Evans, Brandon Routh and Mae Whitman in their short roles, for they are quite effective, something which must also be said of Jason Schwartzman and Anna Kendrik.
This isn’t a film which I can write much about. Don’t blame me, for I was, well, blown away, to say the very least. Some great music along with tight editing made this an enjoyable watch for me. Here’s a film that is exactly what its tagline says: “An epic of epic epicness.”
Personal Rating: 7.7/10
