Review
Obviously, this movie is totally overrated by critics. Audiences are bombarded by complex editing which cause the story line to be extremely confusing, thus leaving the movie completely nonsense and frustrating. Although it does please the audience by bringing them back to the NINTENDO and SEGA age with the imaginative editing and visual effect, it fails to position itself to the current trend causing the movie to be a financial disappointment. "Second weekend and the movie dropped to bottom top ten" (Source Wikipedia).
What makes it worse is the leading actor "Cera" (Scott Pilgrim). Scott pilgrim character is poorly executed causing the character to flow flat and unable to express his emotion. Scott Pilgrim is really frustrating and annoying at the same time. Fortunately, the supporting role seems to be covering the lead character weakness.
On the other side, the scene was perfectly shot.The techniques used to elaborate the action sequences really lifted up the fight scene. However, the down side is the editing as stated above. The editing cause the story to jump from scene to scene and unable to maintain the coherency, leaving the audiences have to imagine themselves.
Despite praised by majority of the critics, I would skip this movie and wait until the DVD released as it is not worth to spend the weekend just to come out feeling regret and annoyed.
