Honestly, this has been one of the hardest movies yet for me to decide whether to give it a B+ or an A-. And I've made my decision!...obviously. It's mostly because it was funny, cute, original and a very good film altogether, but did it REALLY deserve an A? Even a A-? That's what I will try to figure out.
The story is about a guy named Scott Pilgrim, who falls for this girl, Ramona, who has seven evil exes, and he has to defeat them all. Now, this world is kinda like a video game, where you have lives, powers, levels, ETC and if you defeat somebody, you get coins. He also discovers things about Ramona through defeating the exes and the story gets more complex, which isn't confusing, but makes it all the more fun for the viewer.
The director on this film was SPOT ON. Every single set item had a place and a place for every item. Things reflected on Ramona's hair and Scott's feelings, from clothing articles to trash cans behind the characters. Every scene blew me away with the details and it really made me appreciate the work of this director.
Now, me -not being a fan of action films- felt that some of the fighting sequences were a bit too long, but the editing was well for most, if not all. The acting was very substantial and dialogue pretty well written.
For the most part, there's not much wrong with this film. Some people may not enjoy the uniqueness of it, but that's what I loved most about it. I definitely stand by my rating and recommend this to EVERYONE.
