A gamer’s dream comes to life! I had the pleasure of watching Scott Pilgrim vs The World and I tell you it was epic! The movie is about “Scott” (Michael Cera) who after a bad breakup seems to him that life wouldn’t make any sense. He plays in a band called “Sex Bo-omb” but they are….(just watch it). It seems everything is going wrong for Scott. That is, until he meets: Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). Ramona seems to steal his heart, but in order for them to be together… Scott must defeat her seven evil ex-boyfriends. Based on the graphic novel: “Scott Pilgrim Volume 1: Scott Pilgrim’s Precious little life”. Seeing how there are 5 Volumes, I guess we can expect 4 more movies?
The tagline of this movie is: Epic of Epic Epicness! and they couldn’t be more right! This movie was hilarious and filled with action. However, in order to enjoy this movie you must be a gamer to notice the subtleties that are in the movie. The movie makes reference to many video games and the video game industry in general, but listen and watch closely so you notice a couple of games refrences like: Zelda, Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, Dance Dance Revolution, among others. If you know a lot about old games and current games you will get all the subtleties and you will enjoy this movie. I tell you that when I left the theater, you could count those who didn’t knew about the games referenced in the movie. They were all criticizing the movie.
However, the funniest thing is that I’ve never seen so many gamers in one room. It was gamer after gamer coming to the theater that it was just laughable. It was like “Revenge of the Nerds” or a “Gamer Geek Convention” either way it was awesome.
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
I would recommend going and watching this movie. Here is a clip of it:
