Film Review for Scott Pilgrim vs the World

'Scott Pilgrim vs the World' is a movie I can see over and over again and never get tired of it. As a fan of the comic book and an avid comic book reader I can honestly say that 'Scott Pilgrim vs the World' is the most accurrate adaption of a comic to date.
Michael Cera is the perfect casting of Scott Pilgrim, a 22 year old who at first dates a high school girl and later finds the girl of his dreams, Romona Flowers. Romona Flowers however has seven exes that plan to stand in Scott's way.
The story line moves along at break neck speeds, in a good way. The fast pace of the film keeps the watcher interested. The fight with Romona's first evil exe is a good example. One moment Scott is playing the the battle of the bands and before the song could end he finds himself mid air going toe to toe with a random pirate who just burst through fhe roof. Hilarity insues.
The music score for the film was all written for the film and was done beautifully. I find myself wanting to watch the next scene and the scene after that just for the music.
The third fight in 'Scott Pilgrim vs the World' is special effect perfection. The battle takes place in an alley and on a stage. Brandon Routh plays the third evil ex and is ultimately taken down by a "green ray" which has a little bit of irony considering he played superman in 2006.
I highly recommend this film to any one who enjoys comedy, and action at break neck speeds.
