Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a unique comic book adaptation created to make you feel like you are in a living video game. It is the tale of Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) finding himself on an unusual quest to fight and KO the seven evil exes of Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), the girl of his dreams. The pacing of the story is a bit uneven at times; however, the visuals and exaggerated action sequences make up for that. Edgar Wright has a cinematic approach that works well for this story. His stylization keeps it more interesting and engaging than Cera could have alone. And essentially the entire supporting cast of characters are fun, quirky, and do a terrific job of highlighting the depth of the story. All the pieces come together nicely in this film. On the whole Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a well executed fantasy-action-comedy.
