 Review: Scott Pilgrim vs The World https://www.ericsbinaryworld.com/2011/01/03/review-scott-pilgrim-vs-the-world/ Mon, 03 Jan 2011 04:01:12 +0000 https://www.ericsbinaryworld.com/2011/01/03/review-scott-pilgrim-vs-the-world/ <p>It took a bit of convincing from <a href="http://nothingtothetable.com/">Dan</a>, but eventually I read the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels.  I knew right away that this was a book written for people like me.  Just like Dr Horrible&rsquo;s Sing-a-long Blog, people older or younger than me would never get the full appreciation of all the references.  I thoroughly hated the eponymous protagonist until I got near the end of the book and realized why he was so annoying.  So, once my brother got the movie on Blu-ray, I knew it&rsquo;d be just a matter of time before I saw it.  I think the movie&rsquo;s casting was spot-on.  The actors who played Kim Pine, Knives Chau, Wallace Well, and Young Neil were perfect.  Their delivery (and, to some extent, appearance) was exactly what I pictured it would be like.  Michael Cera was even a really good choice for Scott.  He wasn&rsquo;t as perfect, but he did a good job and it fit his acting abilities.  Ramona Flowers&rsquo; actress was also good, although not as great as the others.</p>
