Adapted from the comic Canadian Bryan Lee O'Malley, Scott Pilgrim , seeing as the messiah by geeks of all kinds for several months now, has Finally, after numerous delays, a trip on our screens. Directed by Edgar Wright, whose Shaun of the Dead was revived today's horror comedy, the film has long maggots public patience. But hair-raising between creativity and too full of special effects, Scott Pilgrim entertains no real surprise fun without too much excess, packages and annoying at the same time. Strange program!
Scott Pilgrim, kidult 22, divides his time between his new (and very young) girlfriend Knives and his band mates. It was with them, well-appointed Neil Young, Stephen Stills and Kim Pine (if they remind you of something in the music industry, this is normal), it forms the Sex Bob-omb , garage band noisy and not very interesting. His life "hectic," punctuated by repetitions, and walks chaste romance with Knives and jeers of his roommate Wallace, takes an unexpected turn when meets a strange girl in a dream. Disturbed by this apparition night, he falls from the clouds when he comes face to face with it. Instantly in love with Ramona (his name), he declares his love. If he managed to overcome his shyness to confess his attraction to the beautiful, more fighting ahead, much more muscular because Ramona is under a curse: his ex have mounted a league to prevent anyone from be her new boyfriend, unless the beat all duels.
Scott Pilgrim, whose inspiration draws from the imaginary video games baston ( Tekken, Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat), splits into two entities, very tight. Much of the film focuses on the battles that are linked together the most unlikely of the former than the other (the evil twins, the rocker vegetarian, handsome actor ... and the angry geek, like what does Ramona been busy before his meeting with Scott). Techno music, which could make a dog cry, pace each confrontation which always ends in victory, not surprisingly, Scott's victory symbolized by the disappearance of the enemy replaced by a jackpot of coins currency, more and more important. Armored special effects between shots latte and outdoor ball of energy launched at top speed, the staging difficult to remain fluid and readable. It jumps, it flies, it explodes, all on one beat tachycardic. Suffice to say it a bit tired eyes and ears.
Fortunately, the other part of the film, the narrative linking the different Levels that Scott must pass before the final battle, full of bright ideas. Inserts written with the characters, reminiscent of the origins of comic Scott Pilgrim while insisting on details Crispy bio heroes. The appearances of Ramona (often Skating in the snow) bring a touch of fantasy colorist (his hair go from pink to blue, plus green). The opening sequence (repetition of the Sex Bob-omb) trying symbiosis of sound and image, suggests the work of Gondry clipesque ( The Hardest Button to Button White Stripes example). Besides the connections in a crazy night of drinking when Scott tries a missed approach or Ramona running gag scenes discussion between Scott and his roommate gay (hilarious).
short, Scott Pilgrim looks almost like two movies independent, one better than another. Although the atmosphere Beat'em all (video game that consists of knock out anything that moves in a restricted area) probably will pack gamers, unfortunately it weakens the overall dynamic screenplay by overdose effects indigestible. But was offset by real good moments of comedy (due as much to the staging as actors), Scott Pilgrim is proving a English inn where there is drinking and eating. Stopping there for two hours is hardly a punishment but rather a joyous interlude in the end.
