Shaun of the Dead on the other hand takes a more slow-paced approach, in fitting with the location and tone. Partially because the action scenes when they come are so entertaining, but also because you aren’t quite given enough to invest in the characters. For me the slower portions of the film are probably the weakest. The film is able to balance its ebbs and flows between the thrilling fight scenes whilst attempting to build the chemistry between Scott, Ramona, and Knives. The film expertly manages to pause for breath at various points before seamlessly transitioning back into another brilliant fight scene. With nothing more than fate, and her ‘seven evil exes’ standing in his way.īoth of the films are excellently paced, with Scott Pilgrim utilising its unique visuals to set the tone and quickly establish back-story before being thrust into the bombastic world of Toronto. the World shows young unemployed bass guitarist Scott Pilgrim’s troubles to win the affection of mysterious Ramona Flowers. What better impetus for him than a zombie apocalypse? A twenty-nine year old Brit lacking in both purpose and motivation with his life. Shaun of the Dead tells the story of Shaun. (This CINEMATIC SHOWDOWN will be spoiler free!) In the right corner we have 2010’s action-romantic-comedy and cinematic incarnation of a graphic novel: Scott Pilgrim vs.
In the left corner 2004’s horror-comedy entry from the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy: Shaun of the Dead. In honour of the release of Baby Driver, I thought what better time to unveil a new series by showcasing the skills and diversity of Edgar Wright by comparing two of the brilliant films among his resume.
