It's heartfelt, hilarious and a highly satisfying adaptation of the book. You don't have to be a geek to adore it; you just have to remember being young. But one word of caution: Hollywood, don't try to make a hundred of these. It won't work.

There's a running joke that this epic of also-ran heroism is set in eternally modest Toronto; but its real locale is an alternate universe without parents or the unhip.

A Breathless Emotional Rush Where Wicked Rock and Surreal Gaming Antics Teach Us About Karma.180319 (5.0)A breathless emotional rush that fills every inch of space with its unpredictable momentum. Amidst the wicked rock music and the bewildering comedy of retro gaming action, we end up learning about karma and retribution. Directed by Edgar Wright, the 2010 cult action-comedy "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" stars Michael Cera as an aimless slacker-bassist who falls for the enigmatic Ramona Flowers, played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead. To win her heart, he must battle a league of seven evil exes in wildly kinetic, comic-book-infused duels, turning a flashy and frenetic pop-culture spectacle into an unexpectedly meaningful journey through relationship baggage, personal accountability, and self-respect.

As a Scott Pilgrim fan myself this is a good adaptation of the Scott Pilgrim books. I liked that they didn't use the whole entire plot from the books and used their own stuff to the movie to make it semi different from the books. I also Liked how Michael Cera and Mary Elizabeth Winstead portrayed Scott and Ramona in the movie acting how Scott and Ramona would in the books.

A package of cinematic Pop Rocks, a neon-hued, defiantly non-nutritive confection that nonetheless makes you laugh at its sheer bold novelty.

A ridiculously entertaining romp based on the graphic novels of Bryan Lee O'Malley and directed, with mash-up mastery, by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead).

The result is initially exhilarating, ultimately exhausting.

What will happen to the man-boy when he's all man and can no longer slouch about in baggy pants and hoodie sweatshirts with perpetually flushed cheeks?

The film is alive with bad rock bands and dizzying bit parts, the standout being Kieran Culkin, in the role of Scott's gay roommate, but we feel them gyrating around a hollow core.

Scott Pilgrim is an incredible movie that, unlike many comic book adaptations that shy away from their origins by trying to be more realistic, embraces the style of its source material. It faithfully adapts the bizarre world with its video game logic, but what's truly amazing is how it perfectly blends this bizarre world with a profound story about how we often victimize ourselves, run away from our problems, and hurt others. But that doesn't mean we can't change; that's why having an imperfect protagonist works, because we are imperfect too. Definitely one of my favorite movies.

did you make some of those up.. Scott Pilgrim VS. The World It not only takes guts to pull off such a petty and amusing concept to this extent but also skills on executing the tale, eerie world and portraying the amusing characters whilst connecting with the audience. Edgar Wright is in his A game and there won't be an inch of doubt after one leaves the room for he has got you right where he wants and that is on the edge of the seat. Although Michael Cera is hilarious the supporting cast like Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza and some other cameos overpowers him on screen. Scott Pilgrim VS. The World is hilarious in its tone with witty writing that has smart comic sketches, rich funny details and amusing character that blends into a whole pack of entertainment.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is brilliantly edited like Edgar Wright's Cornetto trilogy and has unique visuals and fight scenes that really dazzle. But the film's humor doesn't land for me personally, which is surprising given that Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World's End are some of my all time favorite comedies.

The editing is Insane. The visuals (creativity, production, execution) is Insane.
...........
The rest starts pretty awsome. The jokes land and are funny. Then its starts a loop of the same type of jokes, 8 minutes beats (more or less) of EXACTLY THE SAME SEQUENCES! It oh boy that ended up boring me... Soooooo... If you can laugh (or chuckle) at the same jokes over and over and over (quick edit) and over and over and over... You are going to LOVE IT. Because its really well done. It might not be my kind of movie. Im literally writing this at 1.37.00 in the Netflix timeline. I just couldn't really finish the movie! Probably my fault (quick edit)

Basically, Twilight for boys. Completely average and ugly teenager being loved by two awesome girls and having fantastic adventures with a lot of action. Well, at least it has some kind of humour going for it. That's something, I guess...
