a5c7b9f00b Scott Pilgrim plays in a band which aspires to success. He dates Knives Chau, a high-school girl five years younger, and he hasn't recovered from being dumped by his former girlfriend, now a success with her own band. When Scott falls for Ramona Flowers, he has trouble breaking up with Knives and tries to romance Ramona. As if juggling two women wasn't enough, Ramona comes with baggage: seven ex-lovers, with each of whom Scott must do battle to the death in order to win Ramona. Scott Pilgrim must defeat his new girlfriend's seven evil exes in order to win her heart. My Intro: I like teenage humour, westerns, Comedy (Peter Sellers - Jonah Hill), Action and Rom-Coms.<br/><br/>I liked Youth in Revolt and thought Cera did a good job in it. I liked Superbad too. IF this movie is based on a comic book that kids read and people liked this movie, I'm not surprised why the kids these days have no imagination. We have more technology but less ingenuity, more information but less knowledge!<br/><br/>This movie was terrible for a source of entertainment. It was so wasteful and had no purpose in its being. What was the point really? He likes a girl - fine, she has close to a dozen Ex-BFs - Alright but what's with the singing and fighting to win her over? How is a girl one of the Ex BFs? Really, shouldn't there be a 'Brain-dead' warning before people are exposed to such crass non-sense? What makes me mad is that this movie gets 7.5 out of 10. This tells me that a majority of the people who watched this movie thought it was pretty good. Haven't these people watched real comedies? Real movies are what you see in Lock-up, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Goodfellas, Godfather, Serendipity, Keeping the faith, Taking lives, Road trip, Back to the future, My Cousin Vinny, etc to name a few - people who appreciate these movies know what I'm talking about.<br/><br/>If you thought Scott Pilgrim was worth 7.5, the Godfather must be worth at least 167 billion.<br/><br/>Please don't rate movies if you don't know what the definition of a movie is! I didn't think this movie was great. It was definitely worth watching, but it wasn't great. Even with all those fun scenes and good jokes, there were pockets of uninteresting parts which kept this from being the best movie ever. Even still, it was worth watching, mainly for the coolest action scenes and the funny jokes told. The jokes weren't too frequent but still quite funny and original.<br/><br/>Pros:<br/><br/><ul><li>Funny scenes</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>Cool video game action/other forms of action</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>Character relationships are generally realistic</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>Very interesting concept</li></ul><br/><br/>Cons:<br/><br/><ul><li>Really boring parts that I almost was tempted to fast forward</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>Concept may be a bit questionable, but oh well, it's just a movie</li></ul><br/><br/>Score: 8- This is a discouragingly limp movie in which nothing is at stake. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is based on the graphic novel series Scott Pilgrim by Canadian cartoonist Bryan Lee O'Malley. Six Scott Pilgrim books were first published between 2004 and 2010. The movie's title comes from the second volume of the series but is an adaptation of all six volumes. It's called "I Heard Ramona Sing" by Frank Black. "Invaders Must Die" by The Prodigy<br/><br/>The short trailer features the song "Ramona" by Beck.<br/><br/>The full trailer has music by the fictional Sex Bob-Omb and "It's Getting Boring by the Sea" by Blood Red Shoes.<br/><br/>"Black Sheep" by Metric<br/><br/>Beck is playing the role of Sex Bob-omb.<br/><br/>Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning are writing the music for rival bands Crash and the Boys. There is an article about the music here. The time span can be surmised by the number of changes in Ramona's hair colour, which she states that she changes "every week and a half". Scott meets Ramona during the last few days of her "pink hair" cycle, before she goes blue for most of the film. She then change's her hair green at the end. The "blue hair" cycle was the only full cycle shown, so the time span of the film is between one and a half to two weeks (three at the most). Another hint to the time span is how Ramona kept mentioning how her relationships also only lasted a week and a half. As such, it can be surmised that a week and a half passed when she breaks up with Scott and returns to Gideon (hence the green hair in her next scene) Based on the landmarks present within the film (Honest Ed's, Lee's Palace, Casa Loma), the film primarily takes place in and around the Annex neighborhood in the central part of the city. Honest Ed's is a popular department store in the area and is visible in the background of many shots. There really is a Pizza Pizza restaurant across the street (though the interiors are different than seen in the film). Lee's Palace is a popular live music venue and it is located about two and half blocks east of Honest Ed's. Casa Loma is an actual castle located about three kilometers (about two miles) north of both landmarks and can quickly accessed by either subway or bus. There really is a steep staircase that must be climbed to reach Casa Loma from the south. The Annex is also home to The Bloor Cinema, a repertory cinema where Edgar Wright hosted screenings during production of the film. The school used in the film is St. Michael's College School, located at Bathurst St. and St. Clair Avenue West. Sometimes, but rarely in the amount seen in the film. However, it's not uncommon for that level of snow to be present during the winter.
