Bad news Mobie fans. The release of Scott Pilgrim vs The World in Malaysia has either been postponed or just isn’t going to be shown. So are we just going to sit around and let others dictate what we can or can’t watch? Will we be ruled? NO! Will we go silently in the night? NO! Do we have a point? NO!
This isn't a story about love. It's about getting your ass kicked
The movie tells the tale of Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) who is 22, plays bass in a band and is the loveable loser in a remote town in Canada. Scott’s life is pretty average until he meets the very mysterious Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and immediately starts pursuing her like a Scud missile in the Gulf War. As Scott starts to play all the right cards in winning her heart, he encounters a very serious problem. Well to be honest, 7 serious problems in her Exes who are all hell bent in stopping Scott Pilgrim from being with Ramona. Oh and did I mentioned Scott already has a girlfriend?
From start to finish, the movie is an absolute rollercoaster of a ride. There’s a lot of influence from pop culture and 80s video games within the film so expect something slightly different from what’s usually on offer. There are tons of laughter from every scene as each character brings something different to the table. That way there isn’t an over expectation from one single person to just carry the movie through. You should feel quite entertained given it is pretty much a teen bop type of film.
Dude he's on fire
I might not agree whole heartedly with the casting of Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim as every scene looks like another episode of Arrested Development with him in it. I think his best contribution so far has been Youth in Revolt and him staring opposite Jack Black in Year One. Besides that, most people who are Micheal Cera fans will watch the film for him or just find other bits of the movie enough to keep you on the couch. Mary Elizabeth is amazingly stunning in this film and pulls off Ramona fairly well and should have quite a large male following after this film. The typical punk rocker type of girlfriend springs to mind.
Excitement? Adventures? A Jedi craves not these things..
So this is definitely one movie that I think a majority of people would enjoy watching. It’s got a lil bit for the popcorn movie fan club and stimulates enough neurons for those movie critics to pretty much stand as and all rounder for everyone. Mind you I don’t think it was better than Kickass but probably can stand on its own two feet given the chance.
Ratings – 3.8/5
