My Review of... Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World stars Michael Cera as the titular character who falls in love with a girl named Ramona Flowers. Unfortunately, he also has to fight her "7 Evil Ex's." This premise sounds very appealing and is well executed here. The fight scenes are well choreographed and very different from each other, every actor and actress is great, (except for the person playing Evil Ex #4. She was terrible.) and the unique old school beat em up video game like style are all what makes this movie so great.

That being said, some people might find the style of this movie to be so surreal and unnatural that they will dismiss it as dumb and stupid. That is not the case here. The style of this movie was the highlight of it for me and I wish those people would actually watch the movie in its entirity before passing judgement.

A few things didn't really work here. like I mentioned before, the actress playing the female evil ex is not very good. Also, some of the one-liners suck really badly. (Like in the fight scene with that aformentioned evil ex.) Those things don't really drive the movie down too much but at least they are over with quickly.

Overall, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is a unique action/comedy/romance movie that might appeal to gamers and the general public. While the style of the film is a little unusual, it flows with the story and makes this film one of the most original and unforgettable films I have seen all summer.

I give Scott Pilgrim vs. The World a perfect 10/10.
