Awesome Movie

Rating: 8/10 (17 March 2012)

In this day and age of over used story lines, Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, is honestly original. Absolutely awesome movie. Now, let me explain my style of reviewing things. I have 3 ways of reviewing, I always add a basic story guide, a spoiler alert where I explain a few things that go on if needed (where bad publicity is coming from, a few parts that are graphic and may not wish to see) but since there is nothing to spoil I will avoid that, and then my verdict. So lets get started:
Basic Story Guide:
Scott Pilgram is a mild mannered young man, in aband, and has a high school girlfriend named Knives Chau. Then Scott Pilgrim begins having dreams of a young woman with purple hair and Rollerblades. And while on a "date" with Knives. He meets Ramona, an aloof beauty with purple hair and he realizes this is the "girl of his dreams. And it is not long before Scott and Ramona begin a relationship. But Scott realizes he maybe in over his head, because if he wishes to continue dating Ramona, he must defeat her Seven Evil Exes, an organization bent on controlling Ramona's love life. Can Scott defeat her evil ex's and win young Romana's heart? Oh, the things we do for love...
Spoilers: There really is nothing to spoil here.
Verdict: This movie is a romance movie, but it's not a cheesy romance movie like Twilight (not trolling, just stating my opinion), or Titanic where either one wants to be with the other but the other pulls away because of dark events in ones past, or they sit around explaining to one another how much they "love and can't live without one another". Even the most serious and intimate of conversations is laced with wit, and humor.
The fight scenes are simply awesome. Graphic wise, they are like watching a video game in live action. Some of the fights are just hilarious to watch. During some of the fights I was laughing so hard, I thought I was going to suffocate.
But like all good things, there is one flaw in this movie that prevents it from being an excellent movie. The trade off is: the acting. The acting is not by any means Oscar worthy. Some of the acting at times is just flat out lame. But overall it's a fun, original, and an awesome movie. I absolutely loved it.
8/10
