Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)
British director Edgar Wright brings this Canadian comic to the big screen in a film that stars Michael Cera. When an early 20s man meets the girl of his dreams he has to battle her deadly exs.
Visually this is a great film with tons of funky action sequences that are largely well directed, staying clear of the usual pitfalls. As far as the story itself goes it is pretty funny but the plot is largely unremarkable and common fodder for a lot of similar films. What the film does best is give the style of a comic book mashed together with a beat em up game real life on screen without seeming like it is just a gimmick.
4/5 style over substance remains entertaining.
