Liam Madden’s Film Review: Scott Pilgrim Vs The World

If you fancy a night in watching a DVD, then take a look at the selection available at Island Libraries. At just £1.50 per night, they’re a great bargain. Ed

Shot from the filmFrom the onset of a movie that could seem an opportunity to simply just switch-off concentration and view on auto-pilot, ‘Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World’ can seem massively deceiving at first.

Rather than a movie that is about the frustration of relationships jump-starting and would not stand-out as anything new, director Edgar Rice combines Manga-style Japanese effects with the frustration of searching for love and the outcome is nearly unique.

Massive appeal
The parodied and ridiculous style of ‘Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World’, are the main and subjective natures of its massive appeal.

For what easily could have become a messed-up work of complete junk, instead becomes a movie that is fresh and ridiculous fun from the start.

Actor Michael Cera, who has appeared in the questionable ‘Youth in Revolt’, manages to fall on his feet in a believable role in a movie that saves script development time and instead brings in exciting and imaginative special effects combined with sarcasm.

Brilliantly absurd
‘Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World’ is brilliantly absurd and throughout its viewing time is hilariously entertaining and totally determined to win over any audience and reward them with an enjoyable piece of well laboured work.

With an aged twelve certificate there could be the understanding that the movie of ‘Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World’ is aimed at a young audience, but across the board, it would possibly entertain everyone and anyone on the planet except bank managers and pub landlords.

Hey, it’s not a complete and perfect piece of home cinema on DVD, but ‘Scott Pilgrim Vs The World’, does not only cause an audience to smile massively, it can also shine a light on why being depressed is something other audiences experience. With this movie however, enthusiasm shines with perfect teeth.
