Goblin Movie of the Week: Scott Pilgrim VS. The World
13 08 2010Alright, if you guys know me personally, you probably know a few things regarding me and the Scott Pilgrim movie. If not, here you go, a nice, bulleted list.
- It’s based on a FANTASTIC Canadian Manga series, by Bryan Lee O’Malley
- It’s directed by my favorite director, Edgar Wright (Because I think Tarantino got lazy.)
- I am square in its cynical, video game loving, punk rocking, anime watching demographic.
- I got free tickets to a preview showing thanks to Niko over at Nikoscream.com
That being said, I went into this movie with two mindsets. The first was that everything Edgar Wright touches turns to gold, the second being that I’ve been genuinely underwhelmed by most big movies this year, barring Iron Man 2, How to Train Your Dragon, and on a smaller scale, Inception, but I’ll do that one next week.
This movie was the best movie I’ve seen all year. However, unless you really love the comics, love anime/video game inspired fight scenes, really dig oddball movies, or just have a thing for Michael Cera or Edgar Wright, this movie may not be the thing for you.






I saw it just tonight…
Freaking AMAZING.
