**Innovative. Unique. Quirky. Ridiculous. Fun. Edgar Wright creates a crazy, fun film with amazing style and effects that will make you laugh from start to finish.** Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is unlike anything you have ever seen. Unique in almost every way, with its constant stream of effects being used to brilliantly stylize and transform this film into a one-of-a-kind video game/comic book marvel! Every punch effect, explosion of coins, power-up, and health bar immerse the audience further into this live-action video game world. The movie is full of quirks and pretty dorky, but it all fits with Michael Cera’s goofy but endearing character. Edgar Wright’s style drips from every moment of the film, even with its much faster pace and more numerous effects compared to his other movies like Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz. All the gaming references and Easter eggs were hilarious. Scott Pilgrim also boasts an absurd amount of talent in its cast, with plenty of A-list stars before they were A-listers, including Captain America, Superman, Punisher, and more! Scott Pilgrim is an innovative and fun film with plenty of personality (and a little off-color humor) that make it a must-see for Conakry lovers, gamers, and Edgar Wright fans.

Usually the number of the beast is just “666” but for this loved-up lad, it’s the telephone number of his new girlfriend “Ramona” (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). “Scott” (Michael Cera) thinks they are kisses when she writes it out for him, but nope - it’s the number of her exes he is going to have to vanquish if he is to win and keep her heart. Meantime, this part-time rocker is having to gently let down her predecessor, the seventeen year old “Knives” (Ellen Wong) who has fallen for her older man - he’s 22 - big style as well as juggling his platonic bed-sharing arrangements with his gay best mate “Wallace” (Kieran Culkin) with whom he temporarily shares in what appears to be a bomb shelter. His battles are fought video game style, with points accrued and superpowers acquired as a collection of just about everyone from Chris Evans to Jason Schwartzman try to beat him into the next world. There’s a great soundtrack to support this, plenty of caustic wit from Culkin and Cera does the enthusiastically hapless geek really quite engagingly as this action-packed culture clashing comedy adventure hits the ground running and doesn’t really let up. It’s a bit cheesy at times, but avoids that coming-of-age sentimental nonsense as just about everyone gets a chance to get thrown around. What would you do for the love?
