Finally saw this last night, and I got to say I really liked it. Even though it’s based on the Oni Press comic series by Bryan Lee O’Malley, it actually felt to me like the first good video game movie. It owes so much to my video game generation, that I’m not sure how anyone older than me could possibly watch it. It’s so full of 8-bit reference and mid 90’s alternative music, that anyone who came before that time, probably just looks at it as a silly light show. Its a language of the culture that to me is a known quanity, and it adds another layer to the storytelling. In the realm of comic book movie, it acutally works as a visual comic, like very few comic movies have (American Splendor being one of the few others) without changing to the normal Hollywood scripting devices that are evident in the Iron Mans and other comic movies. So far Edgar Wright as director has been unbeatable, and I can’t wait for his take on Ant Man.
