If you’ve been writing about how amazing the idea of Scott Pilgrim vs The World is but haven’t gone out to see the movie, bought the game, or bought the book: what is your problem? The movie, despite massive amounts of marketing, hasn’t been doing as well as it deserves. I’m here to give you a second take on the film from the perspective of someone who has enjoyed the book and game beforehand. I won’t be spoiling anything here, though I will make non-spoiler remarks to vague plot elements from the books. The best part is: if you haven’t the books, seeing the movie won’t actually spoil any of the important storyline! Seriously, if you have any interest in the movie, be sure to check out the books, which I reviewed a while back.

I had heard of Scott Pilgrim before, but had never taken the time to read the books (so kindly reviewed by Eddy).  After seeing an advance screening of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World last night thanks to our friends Chris and Kelly, and new friends Loren and Lauren, I plan on rectifying that mistake shortly.  I had mixed expectations for this movie going in; On the positive side you have Edgar Wright, and on the negative side you have Michael Cera.  I love Edgar Wright’s work with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Spaced, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz), and I hate almost everything Michael Cera has done (I have not seen Arrested Development, so don’t hold that against me).  Fortunately, my misgivings were unnecessary.  I won’t discuss any story elements that could spoil the movie, so have no fear of reading through to the end (rocks fall, everyone dies).

“Scott, if your life had a face, I’d punch it.”

I don’t know how Bryan Lee O’Malley coordinated it, but he somehow did a brilliant job at making 2010 contain “The Summer of Scott Pilgrim.” His comic series, which has been in production for the past six or seven years, is attaining a culmination that few original intellectual properties strive for.
