Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Aug. 26th, 2010 17:44Scott Pilgrim versus the World. Dir. Edgar Wright, 2010.
The essential plot of this movie is the same as the comic books. They don't shake out quite the same--by the halfway point, there is a lot of divergence going on in the minor details, partly because of time constraints--but yeah, Scott Pilgrim still has to fight Ramona Flowers' seven evil exes for the chance to be her boyfriend.
It's a given that any movie adaptation will never be as awesome as the source, and for major 4th wall points at one point the movie has Comeau saying that the movie could never be as awesome as the comic books, but as an adaptation it's pretty damn good. It's also the most sheer fun I've had at the movies in a while.
( The movie's never going to be as good as the comic books. )
