Ok, so I went to go see Scott Pilgrim the other day, and I'll start off by saying that I read one volume of the original graphic novel before I went to see the movie, so yes I have seen the original material, or at least some of it. Anyway, let's start the review, ok so first of all the pacing was like SUPER fast, or like at least half of the movie had super fast pacing, that wasn't really a bad thing but seriously since there's like no "transitions" per say, it's like the characters are in 7 different places in one minute. I get that it sort of had to be done since summarizing a 6 volume graphic novel into a two hour movie is pretty tricky, but like everything in volume 1 happens in like the first 10 or 15 minutes. Anyway, besides that, the movie was both hilarious and downright epic, for some reason a few people were just laughing at the whole "combo" thing or any references to video games at all but didn't laugh at any of the REAL jokes, none of those people were me or my friends but seriously, it was weird, I mean, I thought the video game references were cool, like all of the Zelda music used and stuff, but I don't understand how it was you know... funny. Either way, I really shouldn't make fun of people so I'm not gonna say anything else about the strange hipsters sitting in front of us that laughed louder then a police siren every time they made a reference to video games. Anyway, like I said the video game reference things were just kinda cool to me and especially with the "Nega Scott" thing at the end, I won't spoil anything but that was like one of my favorite parts of the movie. A friend of mine said that the movie changed a few things when it got around to the parts of the final two volumes but that was apparently because they just got the creator's early notes for those two volumes when they made the movie version. In conclusion, the pacing of the movie might be weird at the beginning, but you get used to it, they also took some stuff out, and changed a few things around the end, but to be honest it was still awesome, hilarious, and super epic, I SERIOUSLY recommend that you go see this movie.
