Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

Of All the Cinematic Disappoints....

Ok, this was far and away the worst movie I have seen in a long time. Being a slacker and a struggling, young musician myself, I tried hard to get into this movie - nothing worked.

A young musician who barely graduated high school is living with a gay roommate, and dating an geeky girl from a strict catholic high school (yes, she's still in high school so their relationship is illegal) when he's dragged my his band mates to a party where he meets a strange girl with pink hair who he'd dreamed about the night before. She makes it clear very quickly that she couldn't be less interested in him but for some reason he remains on her trail until she agrees to go out with him. They sort of hit it off, but what she doesn't tell him is that she has seven evil ex-boyfriends, all of whom have superpowers and that's where our story begins. Scott discovers that to win Ramona (thats the girl's name in case you haven't already figured that out or didn't know or both) he must first battle all her ex-boyfriends and win. Adding to the mix is Scott's gorges ex-girlfriend who has hit the big time since her breakup with Scott and who's guitarist happens to be one of Ramona's evil ex-boyfriends. Scott is faced with seven grim battles that he must fight and win to win the girl of his dreams. This was just a badly written movie with way too many special effects. Don't bother seeing it. Some graphic novels should just stay on paper.
