Edgar Wright's wonderful graphic novel adaptation

Rating: 8/10 (10 February 2017)

This is my first IMDb review, and for these, I plan on writing about my favorite aspect of the film at hand (...even if I don't like it...). In the case of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, it was Edgar Wright's direction.
Adapting novels to the silver screen can be a struggle for many directors, but that task gets even harder when the novel is one that already comes with a visual element - as is the case with Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. However, Edgar Wright retains the magic of the graphic novel, while being able to put his stamp all over the film. He makes great use of quick cuts throughout the film in order to string together both the progression of time and often humorous transitions. He also refused to abandon just how absurd the story of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is and the film is all the better for it. Wright is also quite a good director of action scenes as well. The fight scenes aren't always so much intense as they are a lot of fun to watch - matching the experience of the entire film.
