New 'Scott Pilgrim vs. The World' Trailer Is A Gamer Delight

By Michael Lopez

You’ve seen the premiere photos, flipped through all those commercials and viral videos, and gotten tons of tidbits from Comic-Con, but the real question remains: Is "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" worth all the hype?

The answer… wait for it… is a resounding YES! Not only is this film groundbreaking visually and thematically, it’s also just plain fun. “Scott Pilgrim” represents moviemaking for the next generation of fans - the ones (like us) who love comics, videogames, fast-paced action, and heroes unlike the "Expendables."

Think about it. Could you ever in a million years imagine “Superbad”'s Michael Cera as an action star? Trust us, he totally pulls it off! And besides the kicks and punches, Cera delivers great comedic timing, hilarious expressions, and a level of just-plain awesomeness that’ll make you an instant fan.

So what’s “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World'” all about? Based on the hit graphic novels of Bryan Lee O’Malley, it follows the life of a bass-playing underdog and his quest for the heart of purple-haired beauty Ramona Flowers (played by a perfectly subdued Mary Elizabeth Winstead).

Check out this new gamer inspired trailer, then play it!

Will it be easy? Of course not. He’s got 7 evil exes to contend with, each completely individual and loads of fun to watch on the big screen. Honestly the less we reveal about each guy’s “special power” the better, because part of the fun of this roller coaster ride is its element of surprise.

Just take our word for it and go see “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World” ASAP! It’s funny, it’s original, and it’s even got the old school Legend of Zelda theme playing through it!

"Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" hits theaters August 13. And for all you gamers out there: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game releases on August 10, but you can pre-order the game now!
