Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)

recommended

Let's be realistic.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

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 migh fault (quick edit)

This is a great example to make movies based on anime or games to look good. Even though it's based on a comic strip, it still has elements from games and it is perfection. The way specific fonts and the atmosphere is great to how the world revolves around Scott. Scott as a main character isn't bad, it just shows him being vulnerable to this whole adventure he's going through for the girl he likes. Of course the editing is very nice and smooth because it's Edgar Wright. And the music is outstanding with the encounters he has. But the ending is really terrible.

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.

There's just - just - enough to this film to keep you watching, but no more. Visually, it is interesting. In fact, the inventive mixture of comic-book, video game and live action is the film's biggest plus. I particularly appreciated the fact that there was no attempt to confine the vivacity of the world to any tedious real-world logic. It is over-the-top, it is impossible, it works. Unfortunately, the settings and the generic urban colour palettes are just a bit too blank, sapping some of the character from the scenes. There are also a handful of good laughs, although much of the humour didn't really fly with me. I could, however, appreciate the artistry of it - it was well-written, just not to my taste. Unfortunately, there's not much else to commend. I am not familiar with the original story, but the film's adaptation of it is paper-thin. There is so little in the way of nuance, and it feels very one-paced. The middle hour of the film made absolutely no impression on my perception of the characters, and the formula quickly became tedious and repetitive, meaning that the ending, devoid of all tension by what precedes it, was a damp squib. This is at least in part down to the emptiness of the characters. A simple story can be mightily effective with some charismatic leads, but they're just so dull. The band are soulless, the exes might as well all be the same person for all the scope they're allowed, Michael Cera sleepwalks through playing himself as usual, and Ramona is a husk of utterly conventional unconventionality. The only one who I developed any interest in was Knives. All in all, a bit of a disappointment - an interesting experiment let down by an uninspiring story and a strange lack of spark.
