Scott Pilgrim: The Game, The Movie

(The title is a reference to I Wanna Be The Guy: The Movie, The Game.)

I just saw Scott Pilgrim Versus the World, and I counted some of the references. I counted around 12 The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past references. The most notable of course is the great fairy theme. I also counted a Super Mario All-Stars sound effect (and another reference if you count fireballs).

And since I'm typing about this movie, I'll state that the ending is too predictable. On a 10-scale of hotness, I'd put Ramona at 7 and Knives at 6. Still, Knives has great chemistry, so I think it evens out. In the end, the whole thing was a video game cliche...a well-done video game cliche.
