Scott Pilgrim vs. The World has made me question just how well I fit in with my generation. According to other members of my generation, it is the movie to end all movies, and the best movie... I'm sorry... most EPIC movie ever. I'm partial to The Godfather myself. Scott Pilgrim is a film that I was looking forward to as Michael Cera has made me laugh numerous times in the past, and Edgar Wright is easily one of the more talented newer directors working today. Combined with the eye-popping visual effects, I couldn't see how these things could add up to anything less than a fun and entertaining film. Fun, to a point. Entertaining? Well...

Scott Pilgrim's first problem is the plot. The plot is self-conscious and repetitive, as well as overly laid back and easygoing. Scott Pilgrim has to defeat his new girlfriend's seven evil ex's. That's the whole plot, and at no point do we get the sense that anything is at stake for these characters. I know that probably shouldn't matter in an effects-driven popcorn movie, but with nothing to root for, or no suspense of any kind, I found the film to get boring after the first thirty minutes. That is approximately when the first evil ex shows up. They fight. He defeats him easily. Too easily. The fight isn't all that exciting as a result. And with six of these to go, the movie became a tedious experience before it was even halfway over.

Not to say the film doesn't have it's good points. Michael Cera, though not as witty as he can be, is still somewhat likable. And while the script lacks structure of any kind, it is jam- packed with hilariously quirky dialogue and brilliant sight gags. The filmmaking is generally good throughout, and as a director Edgar Wright hasn't lost his talent. Unfortunately, the poor storyline ultimately overshadowed these elements for me.

Maybe it's because I don't play video games. Maybe I just need to read the comics. Or maybe I'm just becoming less fun of a person as I mature. I want to like this movie and take the same joy from it that my generation does, but I simply can't. I'll stick to films with stories and social relevance and enjoy being the outcast. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World gets a generous 5/10 because I feel giving it anything lower would just make me look bitter.

Im going to keep it short and get straight to the point. This movie is not for everyone, the younger crowd of teenagers will probably enjoy this film for all the flashy animated scenes and references a lot more as apposed to a 40 year old, who wont completely understand the comic book style setting, and think of it as childish. In the same breath this movie cannot be mistaken for an animated style children's movie. There are some openly gay sexually related references that don't seem to fit into the over all bigger picture at all. The movie jumps around quite a bit not really knowing what age group its trying to target. Often i'd find myself thinking i'm watching a movie that would appeal only to a 14 year old girl, and at other times i would feel like the movie just isn't appropriate for the younger crowd at all. The film doesn't seem to have much of a lasting appeal and no message that its trying to convey. The whole movie is built up on many quirky one liners and the characters don't really seem to fit there role. I've never seen so many woman chase after a bunch of nerds in the fashion that this movie portrays. It almost feels like they were the ones who wrote the script, and if you're not a comic book fanatic, you might not enjoy this movie as much as what you would have hoped. the only good aspect of this movie would be pretty, flashy camera work. Other than that this movie is an insult to the intelligence of anyone who made it through high school. The movie just tries too hard to be "cool". If you're looking for a good story, lasting appeal and clever script, give this one a miss.

Right from the beginning, I had trouble watching this movie; the movie is simply just boring. The only thing that actually kept me awake was a box of popcorn and the constant really fake fighting scenes, where there was no blood until someone was slashed by a sword. Anything supposedly funny in the whole movie, I did not laugh to at all and the story was not entertaining in the least, which was the only thing I expected from the movie: comedy. There is just no point to the story, and it was in no way memorable. The acting was also terrible, as no one was convincing as their character. Perhaps it's just that I find a stupid movie made to look like a comic book (a comic book I would never read)uninteresting. To me, this movie is a lot like Kick Ass, another terrible movie, and adding a "boy meets girl" over tone. It is possibly due to the fact that they can't think of any new, decent stories for a love, so adding a superhero theme was the only way to bring new life.

Let me begin by stating that I don't know if Scott Pilgrim vs the World is either unique or weird. Probably both. Fact is, while watching it, I wasn't very entertained. See, I believe that if a movie has an interesting plot, deep and likable characters and witty dialog, it can get away with not having top-notch special effects. My main problem with Scott Pilgrim vs the World is that it fails in these three important aspects. As I watched the movie, all I got was special effects, and special effects, and more special effects. While these wouldn't have bothered me if the movie was good plot-wise, this is not the case.

The story revolves around Scott Pilgrim(Michael Cera), a slightly nerdy guy in his early twenties who is dating a girl in high school, Knives Chau(Ellen Wong). While everything was good at first, he starts to feel like she's too childish sometimes, and feels unhappy with his relationship. Then, he has a weird dream about a woman with purple hair, Ramona Flowers(Mary Elizabeth Winstead), whom he later meets at a party. They eventually start dating, and Scott finds out that in order to continue going out with Ramona, he must defeat her seven evil exes. Yes, seven evil exes, you read that right. Now, my main problem with the plot is how little importance they give to it, since after all of this has been explained the plot feels like an excuse to show off special effects in colorful fights. The fights itself are okay at first, but start to get repetitive after a while. It usually consists of Scott getting kicked around the area, then finding a miraculous way to save himself and win. Even with all the special effects, I eventually got bored of watching Scott go through brick walls and beating his enemies in the stupidest way possible(remember the words "vegan police").

Another thing that bothered me were the characters. While I liked Cera in movies like Superbad and Juno, his character here wasn't very likable, and often came off as annoying. Also, I didn't believe the chemistry between Scott and Ramona until the very end of the movie, it just felt unrealistic. And, yes, even though this isn't supposed to be a realistic movie, if I don't buy the interaction between the two main characters, then how am I supposed to enjoy the fights when I don't understand what they're fighting for? There's one character, Scott's sister Stacey(Anna Kendrick), that is completely useless. If she wasn't in the film, nobody would notice, and I assume they left her in for "comic relief". The only REAL comedy(and props to the actor)comes with Scott's gay roommate, Wallace(Kieran Culkin), who uses dry humor to entertain.

If I had to highlight the best part of Scott Pilgrim vs the World, it would be the quality of the effects. It's not like I'm changing my opinion all of a sudden, I never complained about their quality, I complained about their usage in the movie. Sin City, another movie based on a graphic novel(although much darker), managed to keep the visual flair inspired from the comics and added an excellent narrative to keep the viewer interested. Scott Pilgrim vs the World has the visual flair but has no narrative to keep us from leaving our seats.

I remember the days where all you needed was a good script to make an excellent movie(Pulp Fiction! Yay!), even if I wasn't even born at that time. Scott Pilgrim vs the World suffers from the now common disease of "many special effects equals good movie". It's colorful yet bland. It's annoying when it should be fun. Still, Scott Pilgrim vs the World isn't an awful movie, and I'm sure there are many people out there who think it's some sort of masterpiece, but if you're like me and enjoy good narrative over special effects, then you likely won't enjoy this movie.

Was Gregory's Girl as remade by Stephen Chow really what the world needed? Accomplished British director Edgar Wright's latest, the graphic novel adaptation of the same name in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, is the frenetic; overly energetic and just generally annoying version of such a thing. Here is a needless, post-modern explosion of tricks and gimmicks; the film appearing to want to be some sort of a cautionary, screwball comedy depicting the lengths people go for those they love; the entire thing ending up an often unbearable slog which, in spite of the adult foundations, comes across as a ill-judged and immature trudge through a mire rife with very little content to get involved in and very little to actually like.

Drawing on a parallel to what the likes of respective British directors Danny Boyle and Paul McGuigan tried for in the late-nineties, Wright blurs the lines between realism and surrealism for his American audiences; enabling characters to achieve a great deal of what humans cannot often in the presence of a lot of other people whom witness it, but do not react in any great way that suggests the activity is out of the ordinary. Michael Cera, stretching his acting limitations, here plays the softly-spoken; weedy looking, although more confident than you give him credit, young man somewhere in between that of high-school, university and the beginnings of full time employment. He is named Scott Pilgrim. As the title might suggest, it is him versus the world; only, it isn't. In fact, for the bulk of the time, Wright's film features the titular character taking on a handful of ex-lovers. When it isn't doing that act, it briefly focuses on both he and his girlfriend against one other ex-lover, before further still briefly veering off to focus on that of Scott's ex-partner taking on his current one.

Living in the Canadian city of Toronto, Scott is frequently a guitarist in a band. He has recently come out of a relationship with a woman he felt a great deal for; the nature of its capitulation leading him into a tryst with that of Hmong girl Knives (Wong). The members of his band, particularly that of snotty drummer Kim (Pill), entrust it to be a façade relationship; such accusations begin to mutate into statements of truth when fiery, but underplayed in that alluring way, Ramona (Winstead) arrives with her dizzy arrays of coloured hairstyles and tendency to roller-skate around if outdoors, - Scott going on to woo her. In all intents and purposes, the character of Knives is the most interesting; prior to being dumped, her innocent demeanour and carefree attitude when she's with Scott encapsulates a universal exterior of happy-go-lucky living and enjoyment. A crucial scene sees her partake in an act which doubles up as the film's entire nucleus; specifically, when she changes her hair colour out of reaction for being ditched for Ramona and her wacky ideas in regards to hair, in what is a brief capturing of the tribulations and reactionary process one might go through for means of love; the opposite sex or attention and affection.

Unfortunaley, Wright decides to explore the thesis by way of Cera's rather arrogant and somewhat unlikable character; an exercise executed via a process of inherent boredom during which four-or-so too many fight sequences act as the centrepieces around which a bunch of offbeat sound effects, that are inexplicably taken from arcade machines of old, pepper a demented aesthetic of noise; rabid cutting and quip spouting teenagers. Principally, the film covers Scott and his quest to defeat the seven ex-partner's of Ramona – so, the girl gets around, and in this age of disturbingly high teenage pregnancy figures and societies rife with sexual infections, such a notion does not deserve to be handled with the throwaway attitude it is here. The battling of the exes is an idea which does not go on to spawn any sort of plot per-se, and instead induces a series of fight sequences in the mould of that awful video game of years past "Tekken". The fights might unfold in any order, and sadly renders Ramona's essential presence that of a prize awaiting the lead at the end of his quest.

Wright brings about these fights during occasions in which violence or hostilities of some description appear apparent: when Scott duels with Matthew Patel (Bhabha), it is at a battle of the bands meeting; when he fights film star Lucas Lee (Evans), it is immediately prior to having watched him shoot a violent scene in his latest movie, whereas the altercation with Todd (Routh, lampooning his Superman role) is a result of the fallout of an argument that they share. Depressingly, the fights largely consist of Scott up against specific groups or individuals of a marginalised sort; flitting from fighting an Indian (complete with out of place mock-Hindu dance); a bi-sexual; a vegan and two synthetic musicians of Japanese nationality, in what is itself a horrid pastiche of the wondrous sequence involving certain antagonistic harpists in Kung-fu Hustle, a film by the aforementioned Stephen Chow. Gregory's Girl it isn't; a film about grounded people with specific interests at important times in their lives coming together and desiring to interact with the opposite sex. The interactions for those people were nerve-wracking; the film subverted gender roles in ways that were refreshing: boys enjoyed culinary and girls wanted to play football. Wright's coming of age film is an abusive assault on the senses; a piece due to play like a horror film to those aged between 12 and 18 whom are yet to have much contact with the opposite sex, which means it has missed the point by a wholly unforgivable margin.

Would be more entertaining. I've been reading the other reviews on here and I just can't understand for the life of me how this movie ranks at almost an 8/10. Yes, I realize people view graphic novels as capable delivery devices for quality literature. That doesn't warrant a 2 hour plot that jerks to each cutscene like some guy tripping on acid, waits to deliver any sort of message till the last half hour, then flip flops back and forth about 5 times right at the very end trying to appease everyone in the audience. Combine that with preteen concepts and daydreams of love & fighting and this whole thing was like The Wonder Years in a video game played by someone with severe ADD. This is by far not the masterpiece people made it out to be.

I won't lie, there were some funny bits just from the sheer nature of having the characters say random things for the entire 2 hours but there was nothing that even came close to the applause this movie has received. Originally, I wasn't going to watch this at all based on the trailer but I kept hearing good things so I gave it a shot.

Bottom line

The Good: Funny bits, decent fight choreography, interesting cinematography choices integrating the comic book/video game world with reality, hot Asian chick

The Bad: Extremely immature love story, random main character, laughable plot, terrible scene transition

4/10, I recommend not seeing it to begin with but if you do make sure you do so with someone who gave this film an 8 so you can ask them to point out exactly what they were thinking

This is one of those movies I read about a lot. Also it's one of those movies I really wanted to see badly. But in the end it became one of those movies that I turned off after 37 minutes of watching.

It was just too hectic, but yet so very boring movie. Oh my god! There was a bunch of totally annoying pricks as leads, there was a love interest who was just too obnoxious to be even cute... there was a main star, Scott that is, who was just lifeless piece of human creature... a Shaggy in disguise...

OK, OK, I don't know if it's fair to rate or review a movie if one has seen only 37 minutes of it, but after all it does say something about the movie itself, doesn't it.

I hear lots of praises, lots of wowzas about Scott Pilgrim against the world, but I am left with a feeling that most of those people are really young. So it's a movie aimed at younger population who grew up watching flashy MTV videos and always insanely hectic National Geographic documentaries...

If you liked Kick Ass, that doesn't mean you will love this one, because in fact this does not Kick Ass.

P.S. The only surprise of this movie was Kieran Culkin.

'Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.' In the past five or so years a string of films have been created that have been inspired by the growing popularity of graphic novels. 'Watchmen', 'Sin City' and 'Kick-Ass' to name a few successful ones, but for me 'Scott Pilgrim' has to be one of the most irritating pieces of cinema I have ever watched.

First of all, the film has tried far too hard to appear to literally be like watching a comic scroll across the screen. The screen is often cut in sections to show windows of animation, while the use of onomatopoeia as a part of this wears thin. It is a nice idea, and can make things a lot more light-hearted, as it was effectively used throughout the 'Batman and Robin' series with Adam West. But in 'Scott Pilgrim' it is used probably at least once a minute. This is a film! Not a comic, or a television show. One of the main parts of watching a film is also to enjoy the sound effects throughout, we do not need it to be spelled out constantly for us!

And now to what I found to be the most awful part of the film. Michael Cera. His voice is listening to a cat that is being run over a a steam roller. A horrible whiny moan, it really drills into your skull as the film progresses. I always thought that there was a fairly wide selection of young actors at the moment - so why choose the worst?

Admittedly, the film has probably a couple of laugh out loud moments, but not many. Too few for a comedy. Perhaps I have mistaken the viewing age, and maybe it has been aimed at younger teens, or maybe the new 'tween' generation who seem to have some bizarre love for skinny boys with odd haircuts. And maybe that is why this film has become popular, despite it not being especially viewable.

Movie is certainly well made, however I couldn't enjoy it, because I couldn't relate to main character. Both he and his love subject were just horrible, dull people, narcissistic and self absorbed beyond belief. Movie tried its best to make you root for them, but I just couldn't do it, that's why to me it was a total waste of time.

Outside of the razzle-dazzle effects, which grow old by battle #3 (Brandon Routh), the movie has no substance. The effects and direction are interesting but the movie is so concerned with these components that the creators assume that their presence alone can make up for a lack of engaging characters and story. I never cared one iota about any of the characters; as they, like the story itself, were never developed in any meaningful way. The movie also felt really long and by #4 I couldn't wait for it to end; not to imply that I was engaged in seeing a resolution, as a conflict or substantial challenge demanding a resolution was never developed. This of course is largely due to the characters, which never moved beyond one dimension and their relationships, particularly the main one, which was grounded in absolutely nothing. I'd say it's the most baseless romance since Anakin & Padme pretended to like each other despite more evidence of dislike between those characters. There were a few laughs here and there but over all this is a hollow stinker with sprinkles on top.

It fells like watching a movie that is made by white meddle-aged men and that's what they think teens likes to watch.

To be fair it had makes me laugh a couple of times but overall it is just a cringe with unlikable protagonist.

I suppose if I smoked a lot of weed and were between the ages of 12-17, I probably would have loved this film. I haven't and I'm not. I chuckled once. I couldn't make it to the end

I guess I'm not used to these weird types of movies considering it has gotten good reviews and ratings. I would say after the first 15 to 20 minutes of the movie I became disinterested and wanted to stop watching the movie because I knew I wouldn't like it. The only good thing about the movie for me was that I thought the action scenes were decent, but they were a bit too over dramatic. Personally, I mostly just like to watch movies that make sense and are realistic, so this movie is definitely not for me.

Was it a good movie? Some say so. If, however, you aren't in your teens any longer whether in age or mentally, avoid this nonsense. You will be sorry.
