Not just canny commentary on how this generation's experiences are inextricably mediated through the prism of pop culture; it captures an attendant myopia, too. Any coincidence the film parallels Scott's fundamental narcissism w/ the endless parade of exclusionary inside jokes? Or that Scott (and by extension the audience) finds it impossible to separate his culture-saturated inner world from the world at large? It's all exhilaratingly, uninhibitedly hyperreal: Baudrillard would have a field day

Fans of 8-bit gaming and J-pop culture won't be disappointed with this red hot melting pot of romance, martial arts and video game/anime aestetics. It's as playful and as beautifully shot with vibrant colors as any film this year. Though the characters are a bit two dimensional, it's highly enjoyable. It'd probably have been better off as a mini-series with more room for character development; but as it is, this is an enjoyable little action rom-com. Sort of: (500) Days of 'Kick-Ass'.

A great movie for a big nerd like me. One of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Funny, fast paced, enjoyable, great soundtrack, and an all around great time. Edgar Wright knows how to make a film. The self awareness is great, I wish more films were like this. You won't see anything else like this in the theater all year, go see it.

For the first two thirds, Pilgrim was delivering in abundance with amazing scenes, plenty of laughs and an all round good time at the cinemas. Once the final third had begun, the novelty and originality had also faded, not an off putting amount just some noticeable drag. While the steam runs out, still something you should definitely see. Also really liked Cera here too.

Wasn't expecting that much due to the nerd hype, but wow, this was genuinely good. Style is a bit overbearing at times and it's meant for a very specific audience (undoubtedly the reason for its financial failure), but if you're in that audience then it's a blast. Great visual effects, great humor, and some of the most vibrant colors and cinematography I've seen in a film recently make this a real treat. Check it out if you think it'll appeal to you.

How does one even rate such a film, not so much a stylish, entertaining throwback to classic beat'em up games as it is perfectly self-aware of its rather unfamiliar environment. Maybe not a love story for the books but Wright's kinetic, eye-popping direction turned it into something unlike anything you've seen before. A cult-classic in the making.

Cera actually pulls off the action star really well. It helps that in the film we are introduced to an alternate reality where situations like his are not that out of the norm. I simply loved this movie. My favorite thing about it though was that we were never "introduced" to the world, we were instead dropped in and expected to keep up. I find it refreshing to be treated like that, as if the director suddenly realized that his audience might actually have some brains. I really hope this does w

A quirky geek/hipster geared action flick with enough genre elements to draw out pretty much anyone. The concept is intentionally absurd, but it plays out reasonably, if not cliched and contrived. The comedy is awesome and the style is somewhat refreshing, and I guess I'm always up for watching people heads explode into Canadian change. Also Cera isn't quite his intolerably annoying self.

'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World' feels like I'm being told a story by my 5 year-old cousin. "This happens, and then this happens, and then this happens." The movie flies by without giving you an opportunity to give a crap. There are a few funny gags, most of the flick is just a bunch of 8-bit video game gags that wear out their cuteness early on. The problem is: there's not much to grasp onto after that. You end up not caring whether these cartoon hipsters burst in coins or just die on the spot.

Unlike any film I've ever seen, in a great way. So many of the jokes hit perfectly, and I have a feeling I missed a bunch of them. Wish I would've seen it on the big screen.

Infinitely rewatchable. The little things (i.e. the things that make it an Edgar Wright film) like x's vs. hearts in the background, or the soundtrack placing the featured songs in minor parts before you hear them so they're already familiar, are what make this film the kind of special that doesn't come along often. When Chris Evans AND Brandon Routh deliver career defining performances, you've done something right.

Wright's adeptness at blending all things pop culture into his films works very well here, as does his sense of style and editing rhythm. It definitely feels like it could be a triumph of style over substance, and I honestly found it hard to warm to the titular character, but I felt so otherwise well-disposed towards the film that I didn't care. Genuinely fun and likeable on a number of levels.

This was great! It’s become something a classic for me. I could throw it in just about any time and still laugh for a majority of its runtime. I do think the graphics novels are better, but this is pretty close. I love the acting, Wright’s quick editing and direction are as vibrant as ever, and the performances are super solid and super funny. Lots of fun.

A bit biased coming from a fangirl of the comics and for Edgar Wright, but I am smitten with this movie. Scott, whose inner-self is so pop-saturated he has a hard time separating fantasy from real, identifies with many youth today. With that in mind, Wright shot through the perspective of Scott; it is sheer turbocharged insanity. Yes, it bleeds pop culture references and is highly pop-arty so it won't appeal to some. But who doesn't like to imagine winning coins after facing a challenge?!

Man this is a fun movie. I really have no doubt that Edgar Wright could shoot any type of movie in any style and make it both refreshing and fun. Everything about this movie was great: the pop-culture/video game references, the humor, even the action scenes were really fun. Not everyone will be completely interested in this film, but I don't know of a nerd who wouldn't think this kicked an ungodly amount of asses.

In line the cashier told 2 teens that without their high school ID they wouldn't get a student rate. The kids were African-American--one wore a vintage rapper t-shirt, the other a videogame character backpack. I offered to pay but they covered it & thanked me. After 2 hours of lame action, no laughs, and a sci-fi world where Michael Cera is more attractive than Chris Evans the show ended. One of the kids said to me, "That was fucking stupid. I'm glad you didn't pay for us." Put that on the box.

It oozes unique style and wicked-fast comic timing. A blended barrage of pop-culture references and video game special effects are used to tell the entertaining story of Pilgrim's battle to claim the heart of a new girlfriend. It's a snapshot of the contemporary teenage experience, complete with inspired music battles and character obsessions with self-defining idiosyncrasies. As such, it alienates viewers outside the target audience but will delight the Generation Y demographic of gamers/geeks.

Although with no exposure to the source material, the sheer nerd hype around this movie created high expectations for this Edgar Wright adaptation, and they pretty much lived up to them all. Brilliantly paced the video game/pop culture/fantasy world surrounding these characters is delightful and exhilarating. The movie never becomes boring, but the unique fun reference packed style begins to lose something as the movie starts wrapping up. However, well worth all the hype or scorn respectively.

Quite how Wright pulled this off I'm not sure? The many different elements that make up this film are so well judged. "Scott Pilgrim..." could so easy have come across as being a self-indulgent, niche movie. But Wright balances the visual style, simple (but effective) script, romance, humour and layers of paraody so well, it just seems to merge together perfectly. Wright is helped by the excellent Cera, finally showing a little variety in his roles, and some supurb cameos. Recommended.

Define "generation": A group of people, generally male, with a shallow uniformity; they display a limited amount of personality. The norm is a generic, heterosexual, white male view of what coming of age is that sneers at any aberrant phenomenon (e.g. sexual fluidity, veganism) and can only understand the world through a filter of anti-intellectual pop culture. The male will attain self-respect through a series of fights along with conquering that elusive phenomenon known as "girls".

This was insufferable garbage. Michael Cera acts like a mentally retarded five year old throughout, somehow has hot girls fighting over him, and apparently has magical ninja powers. The comic book/video game aesthetic comes off as a weak attempt to give some flash to a sequence of boring, CGI infused fight scenes. Packed with awful jokes, worse dialog and non-humor, the only points this turd scores are for a couple of good tunes and Ellen Wong in a Catholic school girl outfit. Disappointing.

I had a smile on my face from the first second to the last - a rare thing to happen for me. I was expecting an entertaining film and was absolutely blown away. Endlessly funny and original, the style and flair is amazing, the story is great and the acting was top notch. The pace was crazy, you don't get a second to catch your breath. The direction was brilliant, Edgar Wright has got to be one of the best of our times. A great thrill ride of romance, pop culture references and great action.

The jokes and energy of the movie is really apparent and definitely keeps you through to the end. The fights as well were entertaining and very well choreographed. However, I found that as the movie progressed the novelty that it went with wears down a little and it starts to become gimmicky. Not to mention that the movie felt more rushed as it progressed and the Ex battles became less entertaining. Still worth a watch, though, especially for the people it appeals to.

Awesome fun. Great soundtrack and great use of musicality. Fresh, original action sequences which did unfortunately get a bit repetitive over time, but they obviously had to include all seven exes so it's understandable. Taking a broader look at this though, it's amazing how clever they were with such a simple plot. Don't like it? Tell it to the cleaning lady on Monday.

This movie is crazy. It has it's own high energy language of storytelling that is a little off-putting at first. But once you get used to it, it's just awesome and hysterical. The cast are all awesome with special points to Kieran Culkin and Ellen Wong. And Edgar Wright does an incredible balancing act of charm, coolness, romance, comedy, action and just sheer insanity. It's such a fun movie to watch and it's also way deeper and more meaningful than it has any right to be. Well done, sir.

A 1-note structure (7 fights w/ 7 Exes) & broad material could have EASILY made this an empty MTV-style crapfest. So kudos 2 Wright 4 making this kind of freneticism pretty damn fun. Wisely, he makes sure each fight & Ex is different enough from the last 2 keep the action fresh& 4 the most part, uses the visuals 2 enhance the story & not just b/c they're "cool". Hell, 4get cool, several shots r downright beautiful. Endlessly inventive w/ likeable actors that hold their own against the spectacle

Right up my alley: self-indulgent and stylish to the extreme, dorky but clever enough to get away with it, ironic but not to the point of ennui. Plus the cast is fabulous, the effects work by Wright et al absolutely stunning, and the story simple but engaging throughout. It's a wildly entertaining hodgepodge of romance, comedy, action, and drama filtered through pop culture.

Fantastic movie, soundtrack kicks ass, but I'm an old-school game geek so all of the cheesy references and the whole story arc really worked for me. The plot is really simple, and if you've seen the trailer you know it. You have your hero, you have seven bosses, and you have the princess trapped by the final boss. You probably die on him the first time, until you fight around and get strong enough to beat him. Classic RPG dynamics. I also absolutely LOVE Mary Elizabeth Winstead. God. So hot.

A tedious barrage of regurgitated nerd-pop culture, obnoxious and utterly boring. I honestly felt like it would never end. I don't mind style overload, even in comic book form. But everything about this felt so completely soulless and manufactured, just... pandering. And with a paltry few exceptions, the jokes fell totally flat. I didn't like Scott or Ramona, really the only interesting or likeable characters were Wallace and maybe Knives.

Cute, funny, visually interesting and has a decent pacing. There isn't a lot of time to develop the cast, so everyone apart from Scott seems too one-dimensional, but it's the only way to fit the entire comic into 110 minutes. The fights all look amazing, the music was pretty good and some fun casting choices make the whole experience very enjoyable.

Wright's incessant, frenetic attacks on the senses can become a bit much. Stylistically, it's superb. The really good gags, sadly, few - and far in between. Like in Hot Fuzz, the jokes are, mostly, cringingly unfunny and his characters are hard to invest in emotionally (disappointing, as he handled both those elements excellently in Shaun of the Dead). The ostensible hipness was terribly annoying at first but there's a lot of fun to be had with many of the performances. And the fights were cool.

A wild ride through the imagination. An interesting, strange, but engaging story that blurs the boundaries between reality & fantasy. I detest Jason Schwartzman, but he doesn't drag it down more than a few notches. Mary Elizabeth Winstead was gorgeous. Ellen Wong was also entertaining. Michael Cera was a good choice for the lead, even though the love chemistry was not entirely convincing. Intentionally wacky, but fun, fresh and entertaining. Some of the fighting was a bit tedious.

Very interesting cinematography and filmed in a style I haven't seen before. Refreshing. Awesome. However, the characters and storyline didn't do much for me. I'm not really a Michael Cera fan. He just bothers me for some reason. Plus, I think just watching this movie caused me to OD on hipsterness. Yikes.

Expert effects, fight scenes and integration of arcade game visuals done with wit and humour, in a mix that felt cutting-edge, hip and in the moment, gave my eyeballs a jolly good seeing-to while refreshing me with new sights/sounds, rewiring my brain with new concepts of where cinema can go. Flaws: the fights ended too quickly (2-3 bigger fights = less suckage), the story was just too simple, and the characters (particularly Ramona) took a back seat to the action. Flaws I can mostly forgive.

Noxiously ugly and unpleasant film substitutes noise and hyperactivity for cleverness and wit and quickly wears out its welcome with a parade of strident, unlikable characters (starting with Pilgrim himself - a dull, irritating and vacuous waste of space, enacted clumsily by Cera). A waste of an excellent cast (though Culkin has a couple of funny lines); Wright's overly fussy and ostentatious directorial style does him no favours here.

For a movie made entirely of distractions, I was distracted by: 1) dialogue and situations that are frighteningly pretentious and overbearing. 2) A 'video game' style that is hardly inventive, never justified by the content, and a wasted opportunity. What could have been explored with genre and style is whitewashed by hyper-sameness. 3) Moral(s) are what destroyed this film's universality. Love does not conquer all (Ego and 'Self' does...?), and women are apparently meant to be owned.

For me Scott Pilgrim wasn't enjoyable because of Scott Pilgrim. Highlights include his hilarious gay room mate, superbly played by Kieran Culkin, and Chris Evans as action star Lucas Lee. Too many of the jokes simply feel like "haha I played that video game too!" The movie simply felt far too ADD for me to actually enjoy without giving any breathing room. I suppose that's what this generation is looking for but even so, I didn't enjoy it as much as most apparently.

A few flashes of sound-editing creativity here and there, but the rest of the time is an utter bore with some of the most irritating characters/actors to appear together in a single film. Basically every character is miscast. As for the plot, it makes no sense. And even if you are going to make a thin plot to simply serve as a vehicle for action scenes, this is not necessarily problematic IF the actions scenes are excellent (eg Sucker Punch). Unfortunately the action here is shaky-cam crap.

A truly awesome experience that feels fresh and new while embracing a wonderful retro chic. As a fan of Edgar Wright and the comic series, I had huge expectations for awesome, and only in the most minor, nitpicky ways did it disappoint (it's really not worth getting into). If you haven't seen it, then pick up some coins and do so ASAP.

This is kind of weird for me. I've read most of the comics now and to be frank, I think they're pretty average comedy comics. I enjoyed it, but I've read better. So why does a film with almost all of the same lines work so well? Well, it's just cool. I mean the score is written by Nigel Godrich and features like 20 new Beck songs, for Christ's sake. That's cool. The style is retro video game chic. That's cool. Oh and Mary Elizabeth Winstead strips to her underwear. That's cool as fuck.

The first part of the film was kind of amusing, but the fights quickly got repetitive. It tries too hard and there is just not enough time to make the characters, story or jokes work. My favourite part was the vegan superpower guy. The style was too flashy and I couldn't care about any of the characters because of their one-dimensionality. By the end it felt hollow, all style and no substance. It's still somewhat entertaining, but disappointing at the same time. Also I hate Michael Cera.

This is pure escapism. It kind of sags towards the end but for the most part, I was genuinely entertained by this stylish, hilariously silly but also witty and sometimes keenly perceptive portrayal of modern culture. But really it was the geeky references which won me over.

This movie would get a 100 for style, directing, and performances, but the story holds it back a good bit. Romona wasn't nearly well developed enough for the viewer to get caught up in Scott's quest fully.

Two Girls One Cup: The Movie. Watch as pre-digested culture is shat into a glass and redevoured by mannequins with fake smiles plastered on their faces. I suppose it's innovative, but then again you could say that about the guy who discovered auto-fellatio.

All the fast editing, 8-bit aesthetics, post-modernism and pop-culture references in the world, can't hide the fact that Scott Pilgrim (the character) is a whiny bitch, uncharismatic douche-bag and worst of all: a boring protagonist, who deserves all the punches he gets. It's a real shame because everything else in the movie works quite well - especially the many colourful supporting characters...

Basically a teen rom-com, but delivered in a style that's never been seen before. So many movies are CGI overload, it's great to see digital FX being used in innovative ways. The post-ironic humour works well without resorting to the pop-culture namedrops that plague many movies. Some say it panders to game 'nerds', but the videogame market dwarfs Hollywood by a mile. Perhaps this is the videogame market pandering to the nerd clique that still watches movies.

While everyone's busy going to the theater and convincing themselves that The Expendables is great, "manly" entertainment, they're missing out on a geniunely entertaining and creative film. Really funny, lovely and kinetic visual effects, cool soundtrack; I had a smile through nearly the whole thing.

I couldn't see anyone but Edgar Wright direct this film. The older I get, the more of an asshole Scott Pilgrim becomes to me. Still, it's a fun film filled with bleeps and bloops, and is about a young man having to actually grow up.

This movie is so much fun. There wasn't a moment when I wasn't loving it. A lot of people say that the fights get tedious. I don't see it, they're all so radically different. Sure, if they didn't change it up it'd be pretty bad, but for fights #4 and #5 he barely even participates. Listen, enough about the fights. That's boring. What I loved about the movie was the breakneck speed. This might have the most smash cuts per minute of all time, which keeps the momentum and the fun at maximum.

Yes, Scott Pilgrim is a nerdy movie. But even if you don't get the many references to old video games and other such things, you'll still appreciate a movie that cheerfully embraces its insanity, an inventive and not altogether empty exercise in style. I felt Ramona was a bit of a flat character, and Edgar Wright continues to have problems with brevity, but he still manages to craft an entertaining movie.

Sort of a "(500) Days of Summer" with no heart. It should have laid more emphasis on plot and character instead of the annoyingly frenetic visuality and silly, meaningless pop-culture references. Granted, it is entertaining, in an empty calories, forgettable sort of way.

It's been quite a while since a film has left me this divided in my feelings about it. On the one hand it's so full of stupid self absorption and in your face "style" that I couldn't help being annoyed, but those things are also what make it so hilariously ridiculous. It layers upon layers of ironic seriousness and serious irony that I'm not sure even those involved know which parts are sincere and which joking. I guess when all is said and done I had pretty good time hence the high score.

Amazing effects! Extremely original, which is always a big plus! I think you'll get a lot of laughs out of this movie. On the downside the story is kind of lame and the 'new effects' started getting boring/on my nerves after seeing them scene after scene, in the same context (fighting exes)..

This movie drained me. It "pushed" "teenager coolness" hard, in the format of a fighter video game, not a "serious" story (not that I mean to be pretentious, but I can't easily relate my perspective otherwise). The plot and characters are arbitrary and poor. However, some of the music and parts of the fights worked for me, which redeemed it somewhat. I'm still drained, though. If you love fighters, video game references, and/or fast pacing (albeit with poor transitions) then give it a watch.

I'm not exactly fascinated with typical "nerd" culture, and I find Michael Cera to be one of the most annoying actors currently working. The movie actually ended up being really good. It was engaging, action packed, and most surprisingly, funny. It was almost a coming-of-age story, in a sense. It showed the maturation of an annoying young adult, into a slightly less annoying young adult with more responsibilities.

I really enjoyed the originality, some of the jokes, some of the fight scenes, gaming references and loved the attention to detail. But, I'v never been so exhausted after seeing a film in my entire life. Seriously, it felt like director Edgar Wright was drinking way to much Red Bull when processing his own material with the editor.
I don't usually write small reviews like this, but there's actually not much more to say than:
LESS IS MORE.

I expected more from the guy who directed Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Scott Pilgrim isn't a bad movie necessarily but it constantly bashes the viewer over the head with video game references and likes to remind you the target audience is the teen hipster crowd. It's pretty to look at sometimes but this relies too much on over stimulation and the hope that it panders enough to the nerd crowd. As a whole, it feels mostly soulless and it's quite surprising from a film with so much put into it.

A very entertaining movie. The directing was something never quite seen before on such a scale, and it suits the comic main story perfectly.

Insane. Faithful to the source material up to a point - I wasn't expecting them to have the entire emotional journey, but it captures the spirit perfectly. Ramona is perhaps a little too much of a bitch (and a lot less independent/more of a damsel than in the book) but I'm willing to forgive that because this is one of the most well-put-together, intense, and godamned FUN flicks I've ever seen. I was grinning from ear to ear most of the time. Ballin'

The first 40 minutes - rife with hyperactive editing, great camerawork, gags that hit the mark, et al - are outstanding, and the colorful cast gives the movie heart. Unfortunately, the fun fizzles out towards the end, and the protagonist is aggravating throughout (if only because he clearly never deserved Knives or Romona).

Edgar Wright's direction in this film is superb. He retains the texture of the comic book - often by incorporating text and graphics on the screen that mimic the style of the book - while putting his own stamp on it (with a beautiful medley of quick, goofy cuts throughout). I also do not think that there is a better role for Michael Cera (Scott Pilgrim) than this film and he nailed it. I would also like to petition Jason Schwartzman (Gideon Graves) as the villain in more films.

It won't appeal to everyone, but fans of the graphic novels shouldn't be disappointed. Wright's directing is as fast-paced as ever and suits the source material to a tee.

Bryan Lee O'Malley's "Scott Pilgrim" series proved deeply formative for me growing up. So much of my taste in media is so intrinsically tied to those 6 graphic novels and I treasure them for it. Because of this, "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" was one of the first films I recall being truly desperate to see. My parents weren't particularly fond of the idea. Almost a decade on, I was right to be desperate. What a freaking movie. Not perfection, but a perfect adaptation, truly.

Completely surprising, fresh and fun, and also rather fearless in its specific details - it's so tied to a particular moment in cultural history I'm not sure it will make much sense in even 5 years, much less in 10. Still, it's good to know that personal, idiosyncratic and still crowd-pleasing movies with tons of self-conscious special effects can still gain popularity and not be dumb.

This movie is quite simply a masterpiece. A lot is said about Michael Cera and his alleged tendency to play the same character in all of his movies.

Top badass moment? Jeez, so much choice! However I'm vegan, so it has to be the timely arrival of the Vegan Police to strip the vegan superpowers from someone who hadn't truly stuck to the faith. Everyone secretly knows that vegans are simply better than anyone else (not that we make a big deal about it), but nevertheless it's good to see such a positive portrayal of veganism in a mainstream film; em, I think. Being vegan is entirely badass. 0 cats and 0 decapitations.

Edgar Wright's nerd epic has some missteps (denying the Katayanagi twins dialogue could be seen as racist), but it brims with so much imagination and wit that one can forgive it. If Michael Cera can only play one kind of role, he is perfectly suited to play this one. The huge supporting cast is by and large great, but it's Wright's direction that really shines: dazzling fights, great comic set pieces, and little side touches (the "pee bar") that demand repeat viewings to catch. A future classic.

Originality alone would be reason enough to score this higher than 90% of the boring, repetitive films made today - but it's got more than that, starting with solid acting by Cera, Winstead et. al. and great writing - kudos to the graphic novel it's based on. Even though what were, no doubt, many nods to the gamer community were lost on me, I still found it highly enjoyable and would recommend to all but my oldest friends. :)

This was hands down one of my favorite films of 2010 - yet I still understand much of the flak it gets.

It definitely doesn't benefit from multiple home viewings, and is a lot less impressive when not viewed in a theatrical environment, but it's still good fun, has a great cast and is incredibly well made. It is let down by some of the cast being insufferable some instances of awful dialogue and flat comedy (I found the sitcom scene unbearable) but the ex's more or less make up for the flaws, as does Winstead in her underwear.

[Oct 20, 2014 - 16th viewing] 11 out of 10, my favorite movie yet made - the only 'issue' per say is that it's vaguely annoying that Scott himself is such a douchebag, but that's all part of the movie's story.
[Feb 01, 2016 - 20th viewing] The movie stills gives me chills when it gets going, so I guess it's still going strong as my favorite.

Quirky and fun, though nobody but the mistreated Knives was really likeable and some of the characters border on (read: fully exemplify) weak, overused stereotypes.

On the nitpicky side, I was only left missing personal growth of Knives from ending, maybe some more battles between girls (it's not just boys who fight), and the glasses of Mobile (roommate's bf), but generally this film is outright one of best live action comic book adaptions ever. It stands on its own, and even improves the original story with excellent pacing and smart choice of scenes that got included. Some love for video games may help watching.

It's my go-to movie to relax to. Even the harshest critics cannot deny that this film is visually fantastic. Sure, the script might need a bit of clean up, but it works very well for my specific sense of humor. Plus this is MEW looking her best. And the music too. Oh my god the music is amazing in this. I listen to the soundtrack to this film a lot. Surprisingly, the original music is also awesome.

Quick humor, only scenes essential to character and plot progression, and really interesting direction. Your typical Edgar Wright movie - but when you add in humor for geeks and some real commitment to the comic-y roles, you get a really awesome movie.

Maybe I'm crazy...but I really dig this film. It's a very self-aware and wildly fun ride. Michael Cera as a martial-arts legend? How ridiculous is that? And he fits the role so stinkin' well. So much inspiration taken from things like Nintendo and Bollywood action...it's just so ridiculous...yet...I can't get enough of it.

In text, this sounds like a horrible film--it exceeded my expectations. While the fight scenes are extraordinarily obnoxious and excessive, the remainder is mostly watchable (so about 25% of it). It has a few good moments, but they are rare. It's absurdly creative, but with that also comes absurd stupidity. The writing is hit or miss, but mostly miss. The cinematography and direction are amazing. Overly chaotic, zany, and cacophonous. It gave me a headache. Creative, yet stupid. I hated it.

Again Edgar Wright shows he is a master of comedy through editing. As with the Cornetto trilogy the humor is strangely deadpan and based on word play all at the same time. But somehow works because of the one-of-a-kind editing style. Anchored by a charming Michael Cera.

Everything in this movie from a technical standpoint is perfectly done especially the editing which is probably the best I've seen.The style is very specific and fun and makes for a unique experience.The cast is great and all of them fit their roles perfectly(Every line Kieran Culkin delivers is pure gold).As for flaws there isn't anything specific other than I didn't like the final villain just because he felt generic compared to the other evil Ex's.

The pacing is way off, expending much of it's best gags in service of the first act, with the actual battle sequences that construct most of the film feeling a little undercooked, but it's a lot of fun and the visual style isn't obnoxious enough to be grating but noticeable enough to feel like a very unique creation.

Probably not as good as a film as I'm giving it credit for here, but as someone who spend a large portion of his youth of the late 90s listening to indie music, playing video games and being a little too immature for my age when it came to romance, it managed to resonate with me quite heavily. The visual and audio spectacle never got tiring.

A bit too much was cut from the books and even though some of the casting was near perfection (Culkin as Wallace Wells), it really lacked where it mattered (Cera as Scott Pilgrim along with some of the exes were just terrible). Its saving grace is how wonderfully Edgar Wright managed to bring the book to life.

Probably one of my favorite movies of all time. Cera does an awesome job as the action star in this film. The video game sounds and references make anyone who knows them geek-out. The music is spectacular. The art style is amazing. The women are gorgeous. Anna Kendrick, Brie Larson, Alison Pill, Ellen Wong, Mae Whitman and Mary Elizabeth Winstead are not to be messed with. Also, I love Aubrey Plaza's part in this. She %$#@&%# Rocks! Very fun movie will be a classic forever!

Scott Pilgrim completely took me by surprise and turned out to be one of my favourite films of 2010. I knew little of the source material but I'm a big Edgar Wright fan and I was intrigued to see him do something different. Cera is perfectly cast. Winstead, Evans & Culkin are all great too. I don't think I've ever seen a film quite like this. For imagination, originality and humour this comic book film is one of a kind. And with repeated viewings I've grown to love this film more and more.

This is the worst kind of bad film as it veers off between poorly shot fight sequences and tiresome, pathetic attempts at comedy as we watch these characters hanging out that drags the film to infinity, each of these making you wish immediately for the other if not something else entirely. Bad comedies are always the worst and this is no exception.

Has to be one of the best stylized and directed films I've seen. Scott Pilgrim is a quirky, smart, funny movie that kept a smile on my face from beginning to end. The video game world it creates is magical and fun, and all the characters have their moments. Sadly, Scott Pilgrim has SO MANY character flaws that it's hard to completely like him, the writers should have given him 1 or 2 max.

If you ignore the clunky bookends the main chunk of this flick is surprisingly fun, silly, and amusing stuff. Much of its success can be attributed to Wright, who continues to impress behind the camera; even Cera's massive drag factor is softened by the fact the acting here is supposed to look dodgy. It's missing a certain something though, and the storyline itself is so empty you're left watching it for the individual scenes - and the ongoing game of 'spot that retro gaming soundbyte'.

While there's a lot I don't like about this movie, it's still probably the coolest one I've ever seen, that said, Michael Cera is completely wrong for the role of Scott, he looks younger than the girl who's supposedly 17. The characters are all supposedly in their 20s but act like they're 15 years old and Scott is way too unassured and unassertive to suddenly start kicking ass against the evil exes. If that all sounds too negative, I'm still giving this a 94.

Mouth-watering visuals, a kick-ass soundtrack, a good wallop of action and more nerdy references than you know what to do with all give you the fast-paced, gorgeous style of this film. Lay on top of that some brilliant casting (save Cera) and you've got yourself a winning formula for an over-the-top fun film that bring the graphic novels (not a necessary prerequisite) to life.

For the most part I enjoyed this movie, but there are a few problems. Michael Cera plays the same damned character he's played in every movie: the awkward, insecure geek. The character of Ramona is almost one-dimensional, having no real attributes, and there's no real reason for her to like Scott (or vice versa, other than that she's pretty), and the plot is paper-thin. That said, the fight scenes are great, most of the jokes work, and the art direction is inspired. It's definitely a fun movie.

Lately I've been avoiding an annoying teen comedies, but this beat them all. Superb effects and out of this planet editing. And since the story was intelligent, I did not mind some less skillful actors. I love Kendrick, but not that much of Wong nor Windstead. The ending was a bit too long for me, but it fitted to the story. Then again the overall style has got a very good taste. Well, okay it was so called "late teen" movie, for people who were familiar with that stuff at that age.

Edgar Wright does a great job in getting the spirit of the comic source, while imbuing it with break neck pacing and clearing out the cobwebs of superfluous subplots and aimless banality that dragged the comic series into the ground. There's more here than the obvious gimmick of slapping text on the screen to match sound effects; with the infusion of frenetic styles focused on enhancing the shallow substance that makes up the identity of the contemporary slacker-geek.

For anyone who's ever been an avid video gamer or been to Toronto, this is full of in-jokes and the casting is awesome. Roger Ebert for some strange reason, refuses to see or review this film.

Superfun, kinetically paced and visually eye-popping, it's a great action film that makes perfect use of our society's fixation with everything technological. And in spite of the hyper-aestheticization, Wright's movie also manages to be a far more emotionally honest romcom than the standard Kate Hudson fare.

Fun, genuinely imaginative adventure/anti-romance. Probably not for those who don't have at least a passing knowledge of video games and their conventions. Michael Cera steps reasonably far from his Michael Cera typecast as the Mary Elizabeth Winstead-smitten protagonist who must fight his way through boss battles consisting of her exes. The visual effects are something that is almost non-existent in VFX these days: original.

There's a new trend of incorporating graphics in to the storytelling. Scott Pilgrim and Zombieland have done it so well that I believe this will be a trend that will continue (and probably get annoying.) As an aside, Michael Cera and Jesse Eisenberg should have to slap fight over roles in the future.

Unmotivated characters moving through a video game world at the whims of their controller... It may be asking too much for more but while it's a step up to have a male character overcoming the ideal of a virginal bride the rest of the story digs in deep with all the other stereotypes. The finale is just bewildering by scratching out "love" and placing "respect" above all else and having its female characters forgive all sins and give up themselves so the male lead is able to have his choice.

A definition of awesomeness. I'm amazed how well they managed to translate the comic book into a movie - the changes they made are either understandable or clever - or both. Really liked the final "stage" more in the movie than in the comic book. Can't wait to see this again!

Edgar Wright managed to craft a gorgeous film with the material he was given. The video game references will be lost on some (I couldn't care less about them, to be honest), but the comedy in the film is spot on. Cameos from Chris Evans and Brandon Routh are highlights (not to mention Clifton Collins and Thomas Jane too), and overall it's just a beautiful looking movie with a lot of style and flair. The love story is pretty shallow, but the cast as a whole makes up for any shortcomings there.

Another excellent movie by Edgar Wright. I only read the first volume of the graphic novek, but I knew I really liked what I read and was curious as to how this would translate onto the big screen. Very faithful for the most part and very well done, creative and orginal, as I really sat back, kind of shut my brain off and really enjoyed this movie.

Each of Edgar Wright's three features--and his series--have one big thing in common: They all are clear examples of a director who puts years of work into his films. It's best to go into SCOTT PILGRIM knowing very little, because the bizarre and original style is best experienced without knowing anything. Bonus points for very neat and often very funny non-sequiturs sprinkled throughout.

It has great visuals, but it exists in a strange paradox where its humor depends entirely on facile video game references, which will just seem obnoxious to the experienced gamer. The sheer amount of visual style still partially makes up for the gaping lack of substance and soul.

This fast and furious blend of pop culture was perfect for Edgar Wright's sensibilities. The thing I admire most is that it has its own completely unique feel. The fight sequences are some of the most inspired and exciting sequences put on film in a while. Delightful.

Edgar Wright delivers the most visually arresting film of the year. I had a blast with 'Scott Pilgrim,' but it definitely takes a certain audience to be captivated by it. Is it exactly my cup of tea? No, this is a niche graphic novel film catering to a particular group of fans, but it's so unendingly inventive, witty and funny from start to finish that it's just about impossible to resist.

Saturated with blinding and self-aware references to retro video games, comic books, '90s technology, '90s sit-coms (highlight of the film), and the current hipster trend (or, all of the above). On the surface level, it's in hyper-drive and makes no plans to render itself down from it's stylistic hyperboles. But underneath all this RetroJunk make-up, is a rather hollow and unremarkable portrayal of love amongst the young adults of today. An accurate observation, but one that is not self-aware.

In the beginning you're blown away by style and fast (but great) editing and I really enjoyed the first 30-40 minutes... But then it's just more and more and more of the same and it gets a bit boring towards the end, when you see the same fight for the seventh time. Michael Cera is good as always (would like to see him as a different character though) but this one would have been great if the they had skipped some of the fights, and focused a bit more on character and story evolvement...

Probably the best aspect of this film is that, for all its references to Mario and indie music, is that it is character driven and has human core to the whole story. If there were any huge flaws though, its that this feels like it is trying to cram a whole series of books into two hours despite the fact both versions were being worked on at the same time.

The visual effects and editing are fantastic, truly original and fun to watch, some of the best I've seen. The premise was good and innovative as well, a bit childish perhaps, but who cares? It's a damn shame other aspects were not nearly as good. Specifically the characters were all annoying and dull, and poor acting didn't help (Schwartzman is the only exception). Watch it for the refreshing style, ignore everything else.

Interesting concept but unfortunately the appeal seems entirely dependent on being part of the ideal viewing demographic. The use of CGI and dream like sequences combined with pop culture video game references are amusing enough for someone brought up on it but it seems infatuated with its own pop cultural reverence. Overall the plot wasn't impressive neither were the characters who seemed typical in a teen romantic comedy.

A perfect blend of spectacle and characters. The cast works so well off each other, and thanks to an extremely smart script, there is never a dull moment with them and the story moves along at a nice pace. Nigel Godrich helms the score and musical direction which is outstanding. The special effects deserve a mention as well, which are extremely stylized and give the movie a comic book feeling (much like the material it is based on). Overall, it is Edgar Wright's strongest by far

Fuck 3D - this is the future of film! The ultra-rapid editing, the non-diegetic elements and everything else about it, will blow you away - for an hour or so. When the pretty heads in Hollywood find a way to make a film, with this kind of editing, that also can sustain a suspense curve through out the entire film - the sky's the limit.

Although a tiny bit slow at a few parts, Scott Pilgrim immediately shot up to my top favorite movies of all time. Clever, hilarious, stylized, and action-packed to the point that it rivals and (in my opinion) surpasses the fight scene choreography of most other action films out there today.

"Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" is a fast-paced, uniquely crafted and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny visual pleasure, deftly directed by Edgar Wright and full of his trademark vivid and urgent aesthetics but, like, leveled up. The script is not flawless though - one could say that the let-downs of the plot, such as the convenient way in which the characters are linked or the cliched finale, are what keeps this film from greatness. Still, it feels like a box of candies for geeks and not only.

I loved the visual style, which I kinda expected - I also loved the music, which I really didn't expect. The film keeps up an exhilarating pace for the first two thirds but gets a little bogged down in the last half hour. Still one of the best films I've seen all year (and the soundtrack is already on the way!).

Excellent fun. If I had to pick a quality that it has most in common with videogames it would actually be the addictive quality it achieves - you finish watching this movie and you're itching to go again. It's repetitive like any videogame, but its always fun everytime. I can see this becoming a new Princess Bride.

There are some really, really funny jokes in this one, and most of them aren't in the trailers! On top of that, the fight scenes were nicely done, and the visual style was neat (if a bit overdone at times). On the downside, the character of Ramona was extremely boring, the last half hour lost some steam, and the story's overall message is somewhat iffy. All in all, great movie - my favorite of the year so far.

Stylistically this film is a live action anime as imagined by white nerd boy from suburbs. All white nerd boys wishes they were hip. So the story of this film teaches them about relationships. (They never had any). Too bad this film wasn't made 10 years ago, I would have really enjoyed it back then.

Faithful to the original and outrageously entertaining, this adaptation features tons of nerd and pop references, but what really impressed me is how the actors are totally similar to the ones in the graphic novel -- and, in this sense, I have to mention the hottest of them: Anna Kendrick (I love her since Up in the Air), Ellen Wong and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Ramona... Ramona... Ramona...

Stupid teenage movie with one of the most annoying teenage actors ever - Micheal Cera. Anyway, the almost two hours of him constantly whining were not enough to totally ruin the movie thanks to the coolness of Mary Winstead and Kieran Culkin 's performance. If it wasn't for them the movie would probaly have gotten a negative score by me.

As an avid gamer, I was hesitant to watch this, despite my love for Edgar Wright's work. I was dead wrong to doubt it, despite its fanboyish, Canadian comic roots. The flick is a celebration of Canadian indie music, modern relationships and god damn it, good ol' fashioned movie fun. I'm not sure if its appeal lies only with people incredibly familiar with standard video game tropes, but I think most folks born in the days of Sesame Street should have a good time with the zany picture.

I like it and all, but I can't help but compare it to the books and I don't think - while it is a good film, that it doesn't follow the books like I would have liked it to. I think if development of the story had been delayed until a more clearer resolution was devisedin the books, the film could have benefitted from a wider range of material. I also think it's paced too quickly and could benefit from a longer film or even a split, To allow secondary characters to have their sub-plots explored.

Just saw this movie for the second time. This movie is phenomenal. The music was freaking incredible, beginning with the new Universal opening, the Zelda tunes and the cooperation of Beck and Metric. Cera excelled, and the entire cast is spot on ( espec. Knives Chau, Wallace Wells and Julie Powers). The movie is fast, fun, funny and just well made in general. I would have loved to see the Knives Chau father plot line, but it was not necessary. Hard to express how I enjoyed this.

Dazzling and yet unspectacular. This film is a myriad of gorgeous effects, amazing fight choreography and stunning sequences, but the plot is weak and the characters uninteresting. In balance, this is still definitely worth watching, but it is if anything a little too glitchy and fast in places, and really could do with just a little bit of drama or suspense somewhere in the plot to spice the whole affair up a little.
