Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, reviewed by Erik Adams.
The sooner you watch Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, the less time you’ll spend worrying about spoilers, and the sooner you’ll get to enjoy a breathtaking reimagining of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s graphic novels. Even with the core cast of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World along for the ride, it’s no mere exercise in nostalgia, but a fresh coat of paint on a versatile coming-of-age story, whose vibrant animation and expanded scope bring new dimensions to the garage rockers, video-store clerks, ninja-couriers, and evil exes who inhabit “Toronto, Canada – Not Too Long Ago.”
