Scott Pilgrim vs The World..(movie review)


Erm...WOW..what a fucking great film. There was me thinking Inception was the shit...

Nothing better then going into the cinema to watch a film you know next to nothing about and loving it. This has happened quite a few times lately, with 500 Days of Summer, Inception and Watchmen. I'm one of those weirdo's who tries his best to avoid trailers for films. Defo worth it in this case, it meant the awesomeness was a big surprise.

I will start off by saying the storyline isn't the most original tale that's been told..BUT..its awesomely done. If like me you know nowt about this film, its basically about this nerdy guy called *surprise* Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera), who meets the girl of his dreams...blah blah blah heard it all before? Oh but wait she has seven evil ex's coming after him who he must defeat.

So what makes this film fucking awesome is the insane visuals, the awesome fighting, fantastic music and the constant LOL moments. This, like Inception is a film you have to see in the cinema..and a good cinema, the sound is just awesome. Some rocking music, loads of game sounds for the nerds also. What I haven't mentioned yet is how much of a computer games theme it has..loads of stuff in there from street fighter like fights, Zelda music, No More Heroes like deaths..freakin awesome.

On to the fighting...HOLY SHIT..I thought it would be average at best, but its was actually top notch..so I've read, they used Jackie Chans stunt team and it shows. The whole fighting stuff doesn't happen straight away so your just watching a awesome film then you see the first fight and your mouth is left open and your screaming HOLY SHIT!!! I noticed a couple of movies from games in there also which raised a smile.

Visuals..WOWZER..talk about colourful..soo much going on..loads of computer games effects everywhere..Mario like 1ups..comic book AAAAAAARGHH when someone gets smashed in the face.. just plan awesome. It really adds to the film..accompanied with the fantastic sound, its just great to experience.

The story goes at a nice place, all the characters make you lol..couldn't believe some of the stuff that happened..let me just say Vegan Police..when you see it, you will laugh. So many small lil touches in there, that alot of people might miss that are hilarious if your nerdy enough to know what it means.

Would love to go into more detail about things, but I think its better left to see on your own. Defo in my top 3 fav films this year alongside Inception and Step Up 3D...would I recommend it for everyone? hmmm...not sure..if your a bit of a computer games nerd like me..or into comics you will adore this film..if not you may love it or think its totally stupid.

Forgot to mention..alot of hotties in this film..Mary Elizabeth Winsteds bedroom scene = YUM YUM..#JustSaying

All in all..9/10 fucking great.

Kickass The Movie was pretty freakin Awesome...



Soooo I went to see Kickass yesterday and has expected..it KICKED ASS. Really cool film, loads of action and loads of hilarious moments. The film was nothing like I imagined though, maybe I don't remember the trailer to well but it had a level of violence I didn't expect. Loads of moments that made me think o_O this is a dream right, that didn't just happen in the film did it? But all in all very cool.

If you do see it, you will see the lil girl steals the show, she is just amazing in the film. Especially for someone who is like 12 years old, God knows how old she was when the film was actually being made.

The plot of the film is semi-random, its about some geeky kid who wants to fight crime and becomes the super hero Kickass. He becomes famous over night due to his fight being caught on youtube. I wanna say more, but anymore would ruin it, I liked the fact I went in there having no idea where the film was going. Just be aware that it will probably be different what you imagine, the action is great, it has sad moment, hilarious moments..and it has Nicolas FUCKING Cage who is always awesome.

Anywho I'd recommend going to see it, nice lil film.

Rating 8/10

Fighting?????

















Quick review for the film Fighting...DON'T SEE IT...lol. Well to be honest its not THAT bad, but I wouldn't recommend paying to see it. The film is pretty much a rip of Van Dammes film AWOL which came out in 1989, except that film had some sort of purpose and story behind it, this does not.

The whole background for the film is very cheap and it's all explained really poorly. The fighting is a big part of it I guess, but its more of a love story really, a really crap love story at.

The co-star of the film is Terrence Howard who has one of, if not the most annoying voices ever, he puts you to sleep and makes you want to through a bowling ball through the screen. The female lead is played by a chick called Zulay Henao and her name in the film is actually Zulay.

Anywho to wrap it up, don't pay to see this, it aint that crap, but it aint that good
