Every Edgar Wright Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

5. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is by no means a bad movie; its position as last on our list simply means we think it's the least-good of Wright's efforts.

Stylistically though, it's definitely his most unique, and might very well be his most creatively-directed movie.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World follows Scott, a shy, awkward twenty-something who's desperately seeking the love and admiration of Ramona Flowers - but must defeat her seven evil exes in order to win her heart.

It's a simple 'boy chasing girl' story, and in that sense, it's predictable, but the movie is put together in such a vibrant, energetic and consistently surprising manner that its style does go some way toward masking any cliched story beats.

Put simply, the movie looks and sounds like a retro video game - lives will occasionally pop up onscreen for Scott, and punches land with 'KO' text overlaid onscreen - and this oddball style, when paired with a cast of characters that don't seem fazed by all the crazy goings on around them, was a smart way to heighten the comedy factor.

Sadly, the film didn't perform too well at the box-office so it didn't enjoy the success it deserved, but here, Wright may have crafted the best video game movie ever made.
