As bass guitarist for a garage-rock band, Scott Pilgrim has never had trouble getting a girlfriend; usually, the problem is getting rid of them. But when Ramona Flowers skates into his heart, he finds she has the most troublesome baggage of all: an army of ex-boyfriends who will stop at nothing to eliminate him from her list of suitors.

NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
cricketbat Maybe it's my love for video games (ok, it IS my love for video games), but I found Scott Pilgrim vs. the World to be very entertaining. It's fast-paced fun with amazing visuals and an original storyline. I know this movie isn't for everyone, but I sure enjoyed it.
educallejero 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)
Lee Atwork Edgar Wright is a creative genius and crafts one of the most delightful pieces of entertainment that unites a set of insanely likable, charismatic characters, a unique visual style, a truly original plot, charming dialogue, nuanced comedy, innovative editing and a soundtrack that kicks ass.The story follows Scott Pilgrim, a 22-year-old guitarist who plays in a not-so-successful band and who seems to stumble from one social misadventure to the next. He starts off dating a 17-year-old but is soon enraptured by purple haired Ramona Flowers who works in delivery service. However, to be with her, he first needs to defeat her seven evil exes. This set-up, although seemingly ridiculous, paves the way for a film that captivates the viewer with its colourful set designs, smart dialogue and of course its over-the-top, awesomely choreographed fight scenes with video game aesthetics. Despite the exaggeration, the story never feels forced or contrived. Instead, it flows amazingly naturally and the comedy never falls flat, which is certainly also due to the superb performances of the cast. I couldn't praise this film enough. "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" is one of these films that succeeds on every level. You see it once and immediately want to re-watch it. The creators obviously knew what they were doing and the result is a well-paced, highly entertaining film spiked with references to pop culture. It dares to be unconventional and geeky but never gets too absorbed in its references. The film knows when to be quiet and when to be loud but most of all, it doesn't take itself too seriously, granting an out of this world, two hour spectacle that couldn't be more epic.
gunnerbeardsley I've watched this movie two times in just one week, I'm also even considering watching it a third time. Anyways, I love this movie! It's super hilarious and energetic!I've never read the comics though and I'm sure that fans of the comics will appreciate this movie even more. The style is amazing as well. The video game and comic book like visuals, the color, etc.The music is also great! My three favorite songs in the movie are: garbage truck, under my thumb, and teenage dream. The songs sound great and fit the scenes perfectly.The actors are undeniably funny and surreal as well. It's almost as if Micheal Cera was playing himself in this movie, he's just so socially awkward, it's great!And the scene transitions are so incredible!In conclusion: Edgar Wright obviously put a lot of thought and effort into this movie, and you should go watch it now!
