Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World


A touch over eager, but they really didn't have to try so hard, I was hooked immediately by the chiptune rendition of the Universal ident music followed by the sweet tinklings of the Zelda theme.

    I'm afraid I missed the opening, but I'm glad they tried so hard. Not everything worked of course, but it felt like a lot of love went into it.

    Most impressive for me was the competence shown in shooting fight scenes. I could actually tell what was going on, even if it was insanse. A lost art. Christopher Nolan, take note.

    I also missed the start and also really liked it, although I'm not 100% sure why. The story is barely a story and the romantic pairing consists of one of the wettest characters ever and a girl who's not particularly charming or enigmatic, yet it works.

    I, do you know, missed the opening. But 15 minutes in I wasn't really sure I was with it - slightly alarmed to realise that a film I thought would be kind of my scene really wasn't coming across as aimed at me at all. Something must be wrong, I thought, at just how adolescent I was finding these people, with their lives and obsessions that I simply couldn't identify with in any way... even more alarmed that the majority were supposed to be in their mid-twenties, which I didn't think was an age I was so utterly divorced from... God I feel old.

    But then some fighting happened and some funny stuff happened and, remarkably, by the end, it had won me round - it was just alot of lightweight but inventive fun.

    But it still made me feel old.
