I love the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

Best.Movie.Ever.

I've watched Scott Pilgrim vs the World so many times. It's always been one of my favourite films. Revisiting it, it came to mind how much it really has to offer.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is the 2010 film from the talented Edgar Wright. It tells the story of Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera), a young musician living in Toronto, recovering from having been recently dumped by his now ex-girlfriend. His band is on the cusp of scoring a major record deal but Scott is distracted. His affection is split between two new women in his life, one of whom has seven evil exes he must defeat in order to win her love.

The movie is super fun. The pace is about as fast as can be, but the viewer never feels lost. The writing is smart, and the film bursts with creativity. It's one of the most recent visually stimulating films, with the transitions between scenes being notable for their unique comic-like attributes. This film is innovative, even though it's more than 10 years old. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is a movie about how crazy it is to fall and being in love. It's an action-packed romance. The humor is almost anarchic in its style and one never knows what will happen next in a given scene. The film has a punk rock ethos infused throughout, and proudly wears its influences on its sleeves.

The movie's graphics and special effects often make it appear as if the characters are actually existing within a comic book or video game.
