Don't let the awesomeness of this movie not impact your life. I don't really know if that line made sense but in layman's terms (because everyone is a layman), this movie is awesome. I think the first sign that I really wanted to see it in the first place is that I actually went to the movie theater to see it. That's right; I went to a movie. And I wasn't disappointed, in fact, I wanted to go right back in and watch it again once it ended.
I'm thinking that the main reason why I love this movie so much is because of how they made it seem like a true comic book (Scott Pilgrim is originally a comic book series which is also worth reading). I knew I was going to like the movie before it even started due to the really awesome decision by some genius to make the sound of Universal into an 8-bit track for the opening. During action scenes, there is a visible "POW" upon the impact of typically a fist on a face, and during once scene, which is among one of my many favorites, one character's face turns into a literal "o.o" face. That made me laugh so hard I almost cried. The plot isn't really that great, it does get kind of dull as Scott continually has to fight the seven exes, but each of them bring their own side plots which adds to the depth. The protagonist is as much of a jerk as he needs to be which makes it extremely easy to hate him.
I don't want to say too much about the movie, but if you're a nerd/geek about comic books and/or video games, like I admittedly am, this movie is definitely for you. Even if you're not one of those people, watch this movie. Now.
I give it: 10/10
