5 star movie, plain and simple. A MUST watch!
2 of 2 found this helpful The first time I heard about this movie, I was honestly expecting a simple teenage romance/comedy movie. Now, after watching it, here's my thoughts on it. And I'll keep it short and simple:
Despite the cheesy "boy meets girl, falls in love" storyline, the plot itself was original and... Well, let's say "hilarious". Basically, Scott Pilgrim meets this girl, Ramona Flowers, and falls in love with her. And after finally hitting things off, poor Scott finds out he has to defeat her love's seven evil ex-boyfriends in order for them to date.
I thought it was a simple plot, but it turned out brilliant. The story's flow throughout the movie was good enough to get into it until the very end. Also, the video game references I saw throughout the whole movie were amazing. Watching enemies turning into coins after being defeated, well... That sure made my day!
The fights were all mind blowing, I enjoyed all of them. The visual effects sure made this movie even better. An excellent job, I have to admit. I haven't seen such an incredible movie in a long, long time.
About the music in this movie, it was all great. All the fights in this movie had very good background music that could keep you in the mood throughout the whole fight. I mean... Even Matthew Patel's "high school musical" moment was both catchy and hilarious!
Now the actors, well... I don't know most of them. In fact, Michael Cera turned out to be the only actor I recognized right away. But all of them did a good job. I loved all the characters in this movie. They all had a very interesting role in the story, and they all turned out to be great, each in their own way.
I'm giving 5 stars out of 5 to this movie for its interesting characters, impressive music and its swee and hilarious story.
