I'm teaching English in Japan.
One of my students wrote, "This movie is more interesting than that".
I'm not sure this sentence is grammatically correct or not. Don't we also need "movie" or "one" after "that", like "This movie is more interesting than that movie/one"? In the sentence the student gave me, she used "This" as an adjective, and "that" as a noun. A teacher in Canada, where i studied for a year, told me that I should use the word "one" or the noun i want to compare to counterpart when i use this and that in the same sentence.
Someone, familiar to the English grammar, please tell me "This movie is more interesting than that." is acceptable or not, grammatical or ungrammatical?
Could you get what I'm asking here?
