Scott Pilgrim VS the World

Clickable title, peeps^^,

Edit: This post is actually from the 4th of October, but apparently it never got published. Sorry 'bout that.

So I saw Scott Pilgrim VS the World on Sunday.
When I first saw the trailer, I knew I just had to see this movie, but as time went on, I started to think that I had missed it. I hadn't thou.

It can be described by one word, and one word only: AWESOME!!!
I was dead tired and half knocked out by a cold when I saw it, so most of the references went way over my head. It was inhabited by all these vaguely familiar actors, that I know I have seen somewhere before, but I generally didn't recognize any of the movies they have played in when I checked it on IMDB. I guess they all just had "one of those faces, you know."

But this movie was everything that Kick-Ass was, and more.
It had vividly coloured foes, a dark and mysterious, "woe is me" kind of love intrest, lots of craze Ex-es. Even a cute little stalker girl.
All the Evil Ex-es explode into coins when defeated, and at one point there are some animated dragons which just drip with awesome.
The battles are fantastic. All over with bright colours, flashing sound effects (you know, like in the Batman tv-show), and fantastic coreography. Even the Boyfriend, who usually rags on any and every combat scene in every movie we have ever seen, said it was awsome.

Purely visually the movie was beautiful. All the scenes are excelently lighted and cut to fit the mood, and all the sets are very pretty. The special effects and generally sparkly and over the top, just the way we like it, ne?
The soundtrack is a must-have. As in: I am gonna go buy that soundtrack when I leave the studyhall for the night. Michael Cera mives generally have a pretty nice soundtrack. I actually spent money on the Juno soundtrack, just like I am actually gonna spend money on this one. That says something in today's society of free downloading, don't you think?
All the characters had the exactly right balance of goofy, cute, and just barking mad. Knives Chau, played by Ellen Wong, showes exactly this. Going from the cutesy little catholic school-girl, blinded by the awesomeness of her boyfriend, Scott Pilgrim, gradually changing to a crazy fangirl (think cat-girl, only with a Sex Bob-omb t-shirt and sans the ears, the kind that needs spayingXP), and eventually a crazy-ass ex-girlfriend stalker as Scott takes his relationship with Ramona, played by Mary Elisabeth Winstead.

Gotta cut it short here, they are gonna lock the doors in 10 minutes. See ya'll later^^,
