Really Surprised!

Beautiful, moving film.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I wish if the smartness and the inventiveness of the script hold up to the second half of the movie, like of the visuals do. It's really strange that this amazing movie is Edgar Wright's worst one!(7.5/10)

I didn't read the Pilgrim comics nor I did know the plot. This movie has every ingredients that will keep you watching till end. Full of SURPRRISES and amusements, this is indeed a "Comedy that we want". Micheal Cera's one of the best performences yet. How a looser defeats seven evil exes of his new-new-gf, and the introduction system of every characters is really exceptional. And as a comic-comedy lover, you really dont wanna miss Mr. Pilgrim's epic.

I hate this film. I love the books, I love the director, but I hate the film.The style of the books was used to express Scott Pilgrim's quote unquote "Precious Little Life." All the video game references, surreal yet intimate imagery and sometimes fluctuating pace were all extensions of the character Scott. He was kinda awkward, kinda funny, kinda nerdy, kinda sweet, and kinda asocial yet kinda social. (The books are inspired by the song Scott Pilgrim by Plumtree, which is a pretty nice and sweet song).The book's style is as "precious" as Scott Pilgrim himself. So it pisses me off to see the film butcher it entirely.The film's style is SELF-INDULGENT. It does things that aren't even neccessary and tell us nothing about the characters, like having comic book style onomatopoeia spring on the screen when a sound effect plays. WHY? It's like a hipster grabbing you by the ears and screaming in your face "I'm really clever and funny!"The characters in this film are DEAD. I do not like Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim. Such a rich character is reduced to a basic pale-faced pathetic little weeb as one-dimensional as the line "hey Wallace." Scott was pathetic in the books, but he had potential. This was what the whole series was rooted around: potential. All characters in this film are dull. Not one stands out as entertaining. Well, I guess the actress playing Stills' bitchy girlfriend is convincingly bitchy.The depression Scott goes through towards the end of the saga - from it's heart-wrenching introduction at the end of the fivth book, to it's equally emotional conclusion halfway through the second - is reduced to another forced "problem" for a processed third act that needs to be "resolved".The books were, above all, real. The crazy style was spun from its REAL heart. The film just wants to show off.

This is, so far, probably the best Edgar Wright's movie. However, I still have to look at his debut "A Fistful of Fingers", but I doubt it can even be compared with this. Scott Pilgrim is a twenty-two year old boy with a serious lack of confidence, who dates a 17-year-old student and falls in love with a girl with a complicated emotional past. He has to find the strength to break up with the kid and defeat the seven exes of his new girl. Instead of boring or pathetic love drama, this film Scott's overcoming his own insecurity and girl's emotional luggage displays in the form of fights in the style of "Mortal Combat". Whole movie was made in a combination of video game and comic-book style. Acting and music are good, and the camera, direction and editing will make your head spin. In this action romantic comedy, Wright once again shows his skill and genius.9/10
