Scott Pilgrim vs the World has been on my list for a while now and if I’m being honest I had no idea anything about this movie but I had just heard the title used before and decided to add it.
When first watching I recognized man familiar faces, including Aubrey Plaza who stars in my favorite tv show, Parks and Recreation. Plaza plays the role of April Ludgate, my favorite character. I was pretty impressed that Plaza and others were included. Even the annoying girl from 13 Reasons Why was in it. It was nice to see her in a different role
Anyway, about the actual movie, I thought that the storyline was pretty cute and entertaining to watch. The plot was sweet and funny. Scott Pilgrim was played by Michael Cera and his character was really funny but the supporting roles also did a really good job.
I thought that the editing of the movie was kind of cool. Parts, particularly the fight scenes, reminded me of Kill Bill’s fight scenes. While it did remind me of it, it was also very different editing so it was still unique and fresh. I didn’t realize until I looked up the movie that Scott Pilgrim is a comic book series. After hearing that, I was much more impressed. I think sometimes adaptations can get messy but I liked how they kept comic book aspects into the film. Again, the fight scenes were very over the top but they were also really fun. After hearing about the comic books it makes sense the creative choices that they made.
Overall I enjoyed watching this movie. I don’t think it was the best movie I’ve seen but there were some really funny parts that made me laugh. I would give a 7/10 for this one. I feel like I don’t really have much to talk about with this movie. I enjoyed it but it didn’t stand out to me a lot. But also there wasn’t anything that I disliked about the movie either. I would definitely recommend this movie if you’re looking for something fairly light to watch and if you’re looking for a giggle. As of right now, this movie is on Netflix (that’s where I watched it) if you are interested!
I love April in Parks and Rec but was not aware she played a role in this movie. I also enjoyed your perspective of the different cast roles and your rating of the movie.
It is always interesting to see actors in other movies or shows that you know them in. I like your commentary on the acting and how the movie was a good adaptation of comic books.
I love the fact that you always pick movies that I have never watched or even heard of it is so interesting to me and I can’t wait to watch this one for myself.
